Is it possible to create a headless accessibility tool for windows phone?


We've just successfully created an accessibility app for android (think screen reader) that works across all applications without needing to first launch a specific app, via the accessibility service.

Is it possible to create an equivalent headless service for Windows Phone? UIAutomation is available for WinRT but I don't think it's available for Windows Phone 8.1 or 10 in the same way. How could I achieve something like this?


Solution

  • It's currently not possible to build a system-wide accessibility app on Windows Phone 8.x (or 10 for that matter). Please consider adding a suggestion on UserVoice.
