Core Accessibility Features
VoiceOver Support
Full screen reader support with meaningful labels, hints, and traits throughout the entire app.
Example: Navigate through cards, hear study progress announcements like "87% mastered, 12 cards remaining", and access all features with complete audio guidance.
Dynamic Type
Supports all iOS text sizes from small to Accessibility XXL (up to 310pt).
Example: All flashcard content, study lists, and buttons scale proportionally while maintaining perfect readability and functionality.
Differentiate Without Color
Visual patterns, icons, and text labels ensure information isn't conveyed by color alone.
Example: Study levels shown with unique patterns (dots, stripes, stars) and checkmarks, answer feedback includes "✓ CORRECT" and "✗ WRONG" text labels with distinct patterns.
Dark Mode
Beautiful dark mode with carefully tuned colors for comfortable nighttime studying.
Example: Automatically follows system preferences with optimized contrast ratios for reduced eye strain during extended study sessions.
Reduced Motion
Respects motion sensitivity by removing card flips, level animations, and transition effects.
Example: Card reveals use smooth fades instead of 3D flips, study progress updates appear instantly without animated transitions.
High Contrast
Enhanced contrast ratios (4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for UI elements) ensure excellent readability.
Example: All text, icons, and interactive elements maintain WCAG AA standards in all lighting conditions, with Increase Contrast mode support.
