Anyone know if Spotify is accessible? (self.Blind)

Either for Android or IOS.

Spotif is completely accessible on IOS, yes. On Windows it works best with NVDA

This is silly, but after creating my account and whatnot, I can't figure out how to search for songs on the desktop or web app. I haven't tried yet for IOS.

You need to play around with focus mode. turning it off and on when you get to the area you want to use. There are keyboard shortcuts you can use too but I can't find them right now

With NVDA, go to the top of the page with ctrl+home, get down to the line that says "search", and press insert+space to turn on focus mode, then type and press enter.

Awesome, thank you! I actually trying to do the same thing, but I was pressing shift space again before entering.

Interesting, I may check it out.

It is not the best but you can learn it good enough to use. I heard it does not work nearly as well with JAWS but I stopped using JAWS years ago so can't tell you

No, not really. Last I tried 3 months ago, it wouldn't read the track lists inside albums. Personally, I strongly recommend Google Music. It's accessible on the web, and on IOS, with a few small issues. I've heard it also works on Android, but I've never tested that.

Hmm, I'll check that out.

It does read the tracks list for me, though. It's laid out in a table and is easy to navigate. I've been subscribed for more than three months. Are you talking about desktop?
fastfinge 1 points 7y ago
No, I'm talking about IOS.

I have used the one for desktop and Android, and it is accessible. I haven't found a way to play without shuffling, but that's the only problem.
rkingett 1 points 7y ago
You enter focus mode after getting to the tracks list and then press enter to play the song.
parham90 1 points 7y ago
No, I meant on Android. On desktop it works okay.
rkingett 1 points 7y ago
Android, I have no idea!

You have to buy Spotify premium in order to play songs on Android and iOS without having to shuffle
