Our goal

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as a target for the Minducate app and this website. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we work to improve it with each release.

What we support today

• Listen instead of read. Many lessons offer built-in read-aloud audio that highlights each word as it is spoken, so you can follow along by ear, by eye, or both.
• Works with VoiceOver. Our screen-reader support describes the parts of the app that are not plain text, so navigation tabs announce things like "Learn tab, selected," badges announce their name and whether they are earned or locked, and icon-only buttons say what they do. Quiz answers and settings toggles announce whether they are selected or on, and brief on-screen messages, such as completing a challenge or a sign-in error, are read aloud so they are not missed.
• Respects Reduce Motion. If you turn on your device's Reduce Motion setting, Minducate skips its decorative animations (shimmers, glints, the moving navigation highlight, and counters) to be gentler for anyone sensitive to movement.
• More than color. Meaning never depends on color alone. For example, quiz answers show a check or an X (not just green or red), the option you pick is marked with a symbol rather than only a colored highlight, and scores are shown as numbers.
• Larger text. The app follows your device's text-size setting, so you can scale the type up for easier reading.
• Works with autofill. Sign-in and account fields are labeled so your device and password manager can fill them in, which helps if typing is difficult.
• Light, dark, and system themes. Choose the appearance that is most comfortable for you, or let the app follow your device setting.
• Comfortable contrast and tap targets. We aim for text that stays readable against light and dark backgrounds and for buttons that are large enough to tap reliably.
• Haptic feedback. Key actions give physical feedback in addition to what is shown on screen.
• Skip to content (website). Keyboard and screen-reader users can jump straight past the menu to the main content of each page.

Where we are still improving

Accessibility is never truly "finished," and we have not yet completed a full WCAG 2.1 AA audit of every screen. We are still:

• Working through the full set of WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines across the app and this website.
• Making sure every color combination across the app meets contrast standards.
• Testing the app at the largest text sizes on every screen and smoothing out any layout that gets crowded.
• Strengthening the on-screen focus highlight for people who navigate with an external keyboard or Switch Control.
• Reviewing and refining our VoiceOver descriptions as we add new features.

Tell us how we are doing

If you run into an accessibility barrier, or you have a suggestion, we genuinely want to hear it. Email [email protected] and, if you can, tell us:

• The page or screen where you had trouble.
• What happened, and what you expected to happen.
• The device and assistive technology you were using, if any.

We aim to respond within 5 business days.
