Tiled wants to help create engaging microapps for all users. Many aspects of a microapp’s accessibility are determined by the designers of a microapp, but we are working toward making both microapps and our own interface accessible where possible.
Our vision is to introduce a communication platform and medium that everyone can benefit from. We are working toward making microapps accessible starting with microapp tiles.
- Microapp creators can add alternative text and titles to microapp tiles in the builder
- Microapp viewers can use screen readers to read the configured text description in the HTML
We will be providing more accessibility features to come and are working toward being 100% accessible.
1. Drag any accessible tile in the builder to your desired page
2. Add your desired description to the corresponding accessibility field for the tile in the properties panel
- ALT TEXT - Image Tile
- TITLE - Video Tile
Hotspots with targets leverage the name of the page/state/overlay for the accessibility aria-label. Overlays leverage the name of the overlay for the accessibility aria-label.
Existing descriptions in the accessibility field will persist if you replace a local asset with the same local asset type. The existing description in the accessibility field will clear out if you replace a local tile asset with a different local asset type.
