🔊Using PetVitals with VoiceOver

Recording doses

Each medication on the Today tab reads as one card with its name, dose, times and how many doses are done. Double-tap the round button before it to record the next dose. Swipe up or down on the card for more actions: remind me in 30 minutes, skip this dose, report vomit or spit-out, and undo the last dose.

Confirmations

When you record a dose, water, food, weight or temperature, VoiceOver tells you it was saved and, for doses, how many are done today.

Charts

Each point on the weight, temperature, water and food charts reads its date and value. To hear the whole trend, choose Audio Graph in the rotor on a chart. The list of records below each chart has every value as text.

Widgets

Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets read as a short sentence, for example the pet's name, today's water and its target.
