I'm trying to implement accessibility for an iOS App and have been bumping into some of the nuances and quirks involved.
For example: I have a label in my app that reads: "This is a live event." The definition of live in this context is "something that is currently happening" and when pronounced it should rhyme with "Five".
However, voiceover understands and reads the word "live" as in: "live and let die", and is mispronounced rhyming the word with "Give".
Similarly, another issue I am bumping into is with the word "ADD" in the context of "ADD A SELECTION". The meaning of the word in its context is "to add something to a basket", but is being pronounced as "A.D.D. (Attention deficit disorder)"
Is there a programatic way to give context to words when enabling your app for accessibility?
