Accessible Solitaire
Card
Free · Designed for iPad
The Accessible Solitaire app has been designed to provide a fun experience for all players.
For players who are blind or partially sighted, the iOS VoiceOver screen reader announces details of the playing cards as you move through the game, and the app includes several in-app features to help make the contents of the cards easier to see.
Using speech at the game together with the iOS Voice Access feature, or using a switch device together with the iOS Switch Access feature, means can all playing cards can be moved around the game using either speech or a switch.
A short video showing the Accessible Solitaire games being played on an iPad mini with VoiceOver, Voice Control and Switch Control, is at: https://youtu.be/VKanx3K_4zA. First in the Klondike Solitaire game, a card is moved using the VoiceOver screen reader. After the move is complete, VoiceOver announces available moves in the game. Then VoiceOver is turned off, Voice Control is turned on, and a card is moved using voice input. Then Voice Control is turn off, Switch Control is turned on, and a card is moved using an Xbox Adaptive Controller. Then still using Switch Control, the app moves to a game of Pyramid Solitaire, and a card is discarded from the pyramid using the Xbox Adaptive Controller. Then Switch Control is turned off, Voice Control is turned on and cards are discarded from the pyramid using voice input. Then Voice Control is turned off, VoiceOver is turned on, and the game play continues using VoiceOver. After a move is completed, VoiceOver announces available moves in the game.
Feedback on how the game can be made more accessible is always welcome!
Ratings & Reviews
This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Accessible Solitaire Version 3.10 includes a new feature requested by players, to optionally auto-complete the Klondike Solitaire game. This option is turned off by default, and can be turned on at the app's Setting page. The option only has an effect when the setting for how many cards should be turned up when the Next Card button is clicked, is set to turn up one card at a time.
When the auto-complete setting is on, once the last face-down card in the dealt card piles is turned up, the game is considered complete, regardless of how many cards are left in the remaining cards pile or the upturned cards pile. So once the last face-down card is turned up, all cards instantly move to the four target cards piles, and the "Congratulations" message appears saying that the game was auto-completed, and the time it took to win the game.
If you have any more suggestions on how the game can be made more accessible and enjoyable, please do let me know.
