Hello sir, I am student and a enthusiast who want to work in the field of Accessibility. Saw your project but didn't get much of it. I am trying to build Accessibility scanner for android apps. Any help will be appreciated. Regards

Hey @svshubhm! Thanks for posting - if you are attempting to build an accessibility scanner for Android apps, then you've come to the right place.

The project has lots of moving pieces, but Bility essentially provides a framework to test applications for static accessibility issues (think contrast, screen reader labels, etc...) and dynamic accessibility issues (such as poor keyboard navigation, unexpected change in app state when the user doesnt expect it, etc...), all which is done in real time and with minimal lines of custom code.

This week I am finishing up a paper on the theory and design of the project, which I will push to the repo sometime at the end of the week. The following week I'll also update the README for instructions on how to use the library, build on it, etc... as well as post a demo video of the project in action.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reply on this thread! Once the new materials are added by next week I'll also ping you on a comment here.

Thank you! for your reply Sir. This means a lot to me. Looking forward for your post.

Just an update on this: the README has a few more instructions, a script to start all services is in the works (still a few bugs), and the thesis has been added to the root directory as Thesis.pdf.

Over the next week or so I will continue to improve this script and the readme.
