RE: Accessible signature in mobile app

Check with how DocuSign does this…

 

I could have sworn they use a large direct touch area where the signature gestures would passthrough VoiceOver (on iOS).

 

They also offer a secondary option with an additional text input.

 

Thanks,

Hello list,

 

I am advising a client who has a mobile application in which users (clients of the organisation) need to put a signature in. In both iOS and android there are ways to do that. But, of course, there are some accessiblity issues there.

 

Does anybody know of a good resource on how this can be done in an accessible way? I appreciate the help.

 

Our advise now is to add an accessible alternative. For example adding an input field to enter the person's name. But I am wondering if there are any other solutions that might work.

 

Kind regards,
