UI Toolkit Screen Reader & Accessibility Audit is a drop-in toolkit that makes UITK interfaces accessible—fast.
What it does
- Runtime (Unity 6+): Builds and maintains the Accessibility Hierarchy so Android TalkBack / iOS VoiceOver (and desktop readers in 6.3+) can read and interact with your UI. Includes an Announce API for toasts/status updates.
- Editor: An Accessibility Audit window that finds common issues (missing/weak labels, small hit targets, low text contrast) and lets you Ping the offending control.
Why teams use it
- Saves days of wiring AccessibilityNode roles/actions/frames for UITK controls.
- Catches easy issues before QA (labels, tap targets, contrast).
- Works with your existing UITK workflow—no prefabs or custom controls required.
What’s included
- Runtime: A11yBridge, A11yMapper, A11yNodeSync, A11yAnnouncer, A11ySettingsMirror, utilities, runtime asmdef.
- Editor: Accessibility Audit window, contrast helper, “Create Demo Scene” menu, editor asmdef.
- Samples: “Menus Demo” (plug-and-play), “Marketing Demo” (bad vs fixed UI for before/after).
