Hi,
We have a slider with two thumbs, through which the minimum or maximum value could be adjusted. Natively on iOS slider is adjusted with single finger up / down flick and on android, by volume keys, but that's the case with single thumb sliders, and it does not seem to work in this situation.
I am looking for some thoughts around the best practices to make it accessible with screenreader on mobile.
Thanks!
Ajay

I think he is talking about the soft buttons for the increasing and
the decreasing vallues with the slider.

Have you already looked at "Slider (Multi-Thumb)" in the authoring practice?
https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#slidertwothumb
https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/examples/slider/multithumb-slider.html
The example works ok with the keyboard and with NVDA but does not work on
ios. The adjustable value for the slider doesn't respond to flicks up/down
even when the rotor is set to "adjust value". I don't have an android
device to test the volume keys.

If you want to make a slider work on iOS you need to use a native HTML
input type=range.
Paul has one here http://pauljadam.com/demos/multithumb-slider.html

Thanks so much Paul, it was very helpful and very nicely explained.

Cheers!
