Accessibility

We aim for WCAG 2.2 AA. Speaking practice should be usable with a keyboard and a screen reader, not just a mouse.

What we do

• Semantic HTML, labelled controls, and a visible focus ring on every interactive element.
• A “Skip to content” link, and landmark regions for navigation and main content.
• Live regions announce the transcript as you speak, and status changes like errors and timer completion.
• Colour is never the only signal — states have text labels.
• Respect for prefers-reduced-motion, plus a manual “Reduce motion” toggle in Settings.
• Large touch targets and a microphone button reachable one-handed on small screens.
• Light and dark themes with semantic colour tokens and visible focus styles.
• A full typing path for every appropriate exercise, so speech is never the only way in.

Known limitations

WCAG 2.2 AA is our target, not a certification. Automated checks cover selected pages and states; screen-reader and real-device testing remain ongoing.

• Browser speech recognition quality varies and is outside our control. The typing path is the reliable alternative.
• Reference audio depends on your browser's speech synthesis voices.
