Add accessibility features to your app, transforming what's shown on screen to a
more fitting format for users with specific needs. See how to increase your
app's reach and versatility with a small amount of work.  

## Key points

- Include descriptions of the visual elements so the accessibility services know what to do. Use a localized string resource for content descriptions so users can hear them in their own language.
- Add a semantics modifier to the parent container to improve the selection behavior of the accessibility service.
- To add a custom action to a list item: define the name of the action based on the current status, add a semantics modifier and set the [`customActions`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/semantics/package-summary#(androidx.compose.ui.semantics.SemanticsPropertyReceiver).customActions()) property, and clear any additional semantics.
