Accessibility

Target: WCAG 2.2 AA. Each row expands to explain how it works in this app; anything not yet complete is stated plainly.

Keyboard-only useEvery function without a mouseSupported

Every button and field can be reached with Tab; the focus ring is always visible. Common tasks have keyboard shortcuts. Context menus open with the Menu key or Shift+F10; a “Skip to content” link bypasses the menus. Keyboard shortcuts →

Screen readerVoiceOver, TalkBack, NVDA, NarratorPartial

Buttons, menus, fields and the regions of the page (header, navigation, main area, panels) are labelled. Visual content such as canvases and charts is conveyed to screen readers only in part; testing with screen readers on real devices is not yet complete.

Voice controlVoice Control, Voice AccessPartial

Visible buttons have a written or accessible name and can be used by saying it. Not tested on real devices.

Dark interfaceFollows the system themeSupported

Follows the system’s light or dark theme by default; light or dark can be fixed from the app’s menu.

Larger textInterface size settingSupported

“Interface size” in the accessibility settings (90–130%) enlarges menus, panels and dialogs; the document area keeps its own zoom. Ctrl / ⌘ + also enlarges the interface. The phone’s system text size setting is not yet followed.

Sufficient contrastMeasured on every buildSupported

Text and background pairs in both themes of every product are checked against WCAG 4.5:1 on every build. High contrast can be chosen in the accessibility settings; the system’s “increase contrast” setting and Windows high contrast themes are followed.

Not relying on colour aloneStates mostly also shown with text and iconsPartial

Most states are shown with text, an icon or a shape as well as colour; not every screen has yet been checked for this.

Reduce motionSystem and app setting followedSupported

The system’s “reduce motion” setting, or “Motion: Reduce” in the accessibility settings, turns off transitions and animations.

Touch targetsAt least 44 × 44 pxSupported

On touch screens every control is at least 44 px. No function appears only on hover; context menus also open with a long press.

Visual alternative to soundNo sound usedNot applicable

The app does not use sound to convey information.

Captions and audio descriptionNo video contentNot applicable

The app contains no video or spoken content.
