Screen reader protection

Screen readers use Android Accessibility APIs to interact with the application. These APIs were created to provide accessibility aids, such as text-to-speech and other types of accessibility tools,

Malware can also be installed and activated as a screen reader, meaning that it can potentially interactively and remotely control the device and application.

App Shielding can detect if any untrusted screen reader is active, and actively block it from receiving app data. Trusted screen readers may be allowlisted, ensuring the accessibility functionality is retained for specific screen readers.
