Accessibility

Built around nonvisual use.

Version 1.0 · Last reviewed 17 August 2026

Blind and low-vision access is the product requirement, not an optional mode. We state what is implemented and what remains unverified.

Implemented

Important states, errors, confirmations, STOP responses, and answers are spoken.
One serialized speech channel prevents overlapping app voices. Critical hazards interrupt lower-priority speech.
Controls expose semantic labels and use large touch targets.
Text preserves the operating-system scale and offers an in-app minimum up to 2x; the larger value is used and capped at 3x.
Automated tests check contrast, scalable layout, semantics, speech ordering, haptics, and fail-closed wording.
Reduced-motion preferences are respected on this website.

No binaural or 3D audio. Direction is conveyed with spoken words.
No continuous or real-time visual guidance. Analysis happens only when requested.
Nothing listens until you ask it to. The microphone opens only for the question you start by pressing the microphone button, and closes again when you have finished speaking. There is no wake word and no always-on listening in the iPhone app.
No formal WCAG conformance report or independent accessibility audit.
Braille displays, Switch Control, external keyboards, and real-device screen-reader flows still require structured testing.

We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA where it maps to a native mobile application and website. Full conformance is not claimed.
