Totally blind iOS user available to test apps from an accessibility perspective.
Hi everyone, hope you're doing well and staying safe. I'm Trey from the UK, and I'm a totally blind electronic musician. I'm running an iPad mini with iOS 17 and an iPhone SE. Three also with iOS 17. I am a VoiceOver screen reader user.
I know that many of you on here are developing great apps for music production to allow people to express their creativity. This is absolutely brilliant work :-) I would like to offer up myself as a tester for anybody that wants their app, tested from an accessibility perspective. I have a TestFlight account ready to go and I already have experience, testing music, technology, apps for accessibility.
Also, if you have a concept for an app that you have not yet developed, but you want some help from an accessibility perspective. I'm also happy to discuss this with you. I thought I'd put this post up hoping that I can help some people and test some cool apps in the process :-)
If you feel that accessibility testing is something you could benefit from, and you feel that you could also benefit from discussing accessibility with me comment on this thread or feel free to drop me a message :-)

Hi Trey ... I don't have any apps or suggestions to offer, but just wanted to say I'm so glad you're here, and look forward to helpful conversations in this vital area
I'm interested to know what helps you to navigate the forum more effectively e.g. does it help you find responses to your posts if they include the @soundwarrior20 tag?
Cheers
Richard (also from UK)
Hi, thanks for this, the Forum is actually pretty easy to navigate with the voice over screen reader on Mac and iOS. Email notifications are pretty consistent so it's pretty easy to navigate and check the forum :-) please share this post with your networks if you can, :-) > @craftycurate said:
That’s great! Glad you’re able to access it easily.
That's great！Have you put a tweet up about this on twitter by any chance? If so I could maybe retweet it and ask ppl to retweet. Even if few ipad users are totally blind, it seems there are a fair few with vision issues.
Hi @soundwarrior20,
since the iOS music app market already is a relatively small one and developers often just don't have the time to design and implement better accessibility for all the different kinds of impairment, let me ask you the other way round to get more specific:
1. Which kind of apps would you want the most?
2. What kind of control and feedback would you like the best?
3. Can you give an example of an ideal workflow from your own perspective?
Hey welcome to the forum! What apps are you using now? I just saw an app update recently with loads of voice assistant updates but now for the life of me I can’t remember.
Hope you’re able to beta test for accessibility. And glad the forum is easy to navigate.
Hi, thanks very much for this :-) you're definitely asking the right questions there. I'm going to respond to them in no particular order. I'd say for me personally, and I echo many others in this. I'm sure a Groovebox app would be something that would be very useful to have. It will definitely come under the heading of high priority. What would the ideal workflow be for me personally wel, pick a sound either a sample, for example, for drums or pick a preset or design sound with a synthesiser inbuilt into a Groovebox app. Then sequence that sound with a step sequencer, or use a cord generator for chords. Then add some affects :-) clip launching would also be useful. In terms of the best kind of UI a UI that is designed to be compatible with the VoiceOver screen reader with all controls properly labelled. I would say it should have a minimal amount of complicated gestures. With the focus being on a simple user interface maximise for accessibility mean the new interfaced that is built using Standard Apple controls or standard JUCE Controls that are optimised for accessibility in the current version of JUCE hope this helps :-)
hi, thanks for this love your YouTube tutorials I'll tweet a link to this post and mention you in the tweet :-) :-)
OK! I was thinking we maybe know each other from Twitter actually, but couldn't remember your handle there, cheers!
