Live Regions are one of my favourite accessibility features on Android. They’re a super simple solution to a common accessibility problem that people with visual impairments can stumble across.

Say you have a game app, really any type of game. Your user interacts with the play area, and as they do, their score increases or decreases depending on your customer’s actions. In this example, the score display is separate to the element your customer is interacting with. For a blind or partially sighted user, how will they know their interaction has had a consequence against their score?
