Known limitations for QuickScan:
- Reading the report:
The report does not have its own audio. Font sizes are not directly scaleable in the app. The reports are variable dependent on the outcome of this questionnaire so it has not been possible to assemble a reliable audio delivery system for it. It should be compatible to some extent with screen readers.
We will be exploring ways to make the report html more accessible to screen readers. A screen reader is currently still the best option for reading the reports in audio form. Screen magnification or resizing the web page with the report will help make the text larger.
