Accessibility
Updated 17 October 2026.
Checked 17 October 2026, in the beta. We aim for WCAG 2.2 at level AA on every page, the big screen included.
What works today
- A keyboard does everything. The first Tab skips past the sidebar to the page. Menus take the arrow keys, and a sheet keeps Tab inside it and gives the focus back when it closes. Every key is in Help.
- You can see where you are. What has the focus is outlined or underlined, and never left under the tab bar or a toolbar.
- Words are readable. Every colour used for words is at least 4.5 to 1 against what it sits on, by day and by night, and on the big screen in all seven of its looks.
- Every control has a name a screen reader can say, and a check in our tests fails if one doesn't.
- Changes are said aloud: the messages along the foot of the page, the tips, what a Library search found, and on a phone in a game, where the game is: the card, the buzzers opening, who was first and who got it.
- The big screen tells a screen reader what the room hears: the card being read, the buzzers opening, who buzzed, right or wrong and the answer, whose turn it is, and who won. It never counts down out loud.
- Nobody is told apart by colour alone. Everyone's colour carries their initial or their name, written in whichever ink reads on that colour, and who wrote a card shows as their initial.
- Pages fit a narrow screen. At 320 pixels wide, or zoomed to 200%, nothing scrolls sideways but a slide being edited and the game board. On a TV, a screen with more on it than fits scrolls instead of cutting it off.
- Everything you press is at least 24 pixels across, or has that much room round it.
- Motion follows your device, or the Motion setting on You. Nothing flashes, and nothing blinks for more than a few seconds.
- Nothing needs dragging. A set goes into a folder from its ··· menu, slides move with Move up and Move down, and a box on a slide moves and changes size with buttons or the arrow keys.
- Studying has no clock. In a game the host can give the reading twice or four times as long, and make countdowns longer or turn them off.
- Read aloud, on You, reads study cards in your device's own voice.
- Help is in the same place on every page: the foot of the sidebar, the mark above You when the sidebar is folded, and the last line of the page on a phone.
What doesn't yet
- The buzzer is a race between people, so it can't wait for anyone. It stays shut while a card is read, and the host can make that longer.
- A box on a slide is placed freely by dragging; without that, the buttons move it in steps.
- The players' eight colours were moved on 17 October 2026 so they stay apart for the common kinds of colour blindness, but a few are still close (purple and blue, orange and gold). Names are beside them almost everywhere; where only an initial shows, two people with the same initial can be hard to tell apart.
- A picture on a slide is described only if whoever adds it writes a description.
- We test with a keyboard and automated checks, and not yet with VoiceOver or TalkBack.
