We will have a blind student this fall and I am working on developing the course. The student needs to use their phone with braille and access using the Moodle app. When testing that today, on an assignment, the student is able to add the file, but the SAVE is at the top right hand corner and the students reader does not recognize it - looks like it is in a header and it doesn't look like a clickable button. Is there a way to put the SAVE at the bottom of screen as a clickable button? See attached image.
Can you confirm that is the Mobile app rather than viewing through a browser. Also can you confirm what theme your system is set up for. The default is a theme called Boost.
Yes we are using the Mobile app and not browser. We are using Lambda theme. Should I change to Boost theme for this student?
I also changed the course theme to Boost and tried it on the ipad and still the save is at the top right corner and not able to be used by blind student. Can a clickable Save or Submit button be put at the bottom under the file submission area?
Hi Victoria,
I'm the Product Director of the mobile solutions team. We'll check this accessibility issue to see what could be going on
Could you please confirm the iPad iOS version?

Hi again,
we've done some tests using a standard keyboard connected via Bluetooh and using "Option+Tab" we are able to reach out to the "Save" button (see attached video from iPhone, iPad behaviour is the same according to our tests).
Could you describe which device and settings you are using? For example, are you using the "Full Keyboard Access" setting?

This is response I received from blind student about the options feature you mentioned:
The tab option would work on the computer, but the issue I was having was in the Moodle app itself on my iPhone, using the screen reader called VoiceOver (which is built into the accessibility settings of all Apple products). Perhaps they can try to see if there is a solution for that. Again, they may need to be in contact with Apple, who would have an understanding of VoiceOver and how it works.

Will this feature work with a usb keyboard attached to iphone?
Hi Victoria,
we usually test with a standard keyboard plus VoiceOver as it is the best way to detect if VocieOver detects the app elements when browsing using the different keys. So definitively it should work if they attach a standard keyboard and use Option+Tab or any combination of keys to browse, however we are going to do further tests just using VoiceOver to see if we can detect what's going on.
But it will be helpful to know if this person is using not only the phone but also a device connected to it, you mentioned braille in your first post, is this person using a "hable one" or similar braille keyboard/device? Or it is just using gestures to navigate?

Just another update, we tested this navigating using VoiceOver plus gestures and we were able to reach out to the "Save" button, we tested using an iPhone with iOS 18 so it would be good to know which iOS version the student is using, as this can also be an iOS bug
