Content
After I applied my proposed tool to detect the content page, I discovered the annotated buttons are small to click for low-vision users, and I sincerely struggled you could enlarge these buttons so that low-vision users would use this App more conveniently.
Thanks a lot~!

Thanks for your comment. Please help me to understand better the motivation behind your issue:

  • You say "I applied my proposed tool ...". So, is the issue an autodetected small font or is it an actually a usage problem?
  • If it is an autodetected problem, could you make the choices more transparent. Which font sizes are "too small" and based on which criteria are the chosen?

Also, I understand that the outlined fonts are small, but they are more used for exposing the current settings a bit better, the buttons are not essential for using the app. Actually, this information was just recently introduced. Before, they were completely hidden in the settings.

Please help me understanding the issues and I will try to improve the situation, where it appears beneficial.

Thanks for your attention.
Let me answer your first question first. My tool is based on the user experience of low vision users to complete the detection, so this problem is mainly an issue of small font rather than its actual use. For the second question, there are two criteria for small font size, one is the WCAG criteria (no smaller than 9pt(=12px)), and the other is based on actual feedback from low-vision users.
Thank you again!
