The Warehouse Management mobile app is designed for accessibility, to help ensure that all workers can effectively interact with the app. This article describes the accessibility features of the Warehouse Management mobile app.

Font and button scaling

Font and button scaling helps ensure that the Warehouse Management mobile app remains worker-friendly and accessible to many workers, including workers who have visual impairments.

  • Font Scaling – The app supports font scaling from 50 to 400 percent. Therefore, workers can adjust the text size according to their preference. This flexibility helps ensure that workers can comfortably read and interact with the app's content, regardless of their visual acuity. The font size in the app is independent of the operating system's font settings. Therefore, workers can set font sizes in the app that differ from the font sizes on their device, for a more personalized experience.
  • Button Scaling – The app supports button scaling from 50 to 200 percent. Therefore, workers can adjust the size of buttons and other interactive elements in the app. This flexibility helps worker more easily tap and interact with the app's functionality.

  • High-contrast white – This high-contrast theme features a white background, bold black text, and high-contrast colors for interactive elements. It's designed to enhance readability for workers who have visual impairments, or who require a higher level of contrast to comfortably read text and interact with the app.
  • High-contrast black – This high-contrast theme features a black background, white text, and high-contrast colors for interactive elements. It's designed to enhance readability and improve accessibility for workers who have visual impairments, or who require a higher level of contrast.

Screen reader support

The Warehouse Management mobile app is accessible on three major platforms: Android, iOS, and Windows. To help provide a seamless experience for workers who have visual impairments, it supports (and the support is limited to) the following platform-specific screen readers:

  • Android TalkBack – TalkBack is a preinstalled screen reader on Android devices that provides spoken feedback to help workers navigate and interact with their devices.
