Accessibility
Last updated: June 21, 2026
Akawntant is committed to making CPALE review accessible to everyone, including reviewees who rely on assistive technology. We design our iOS app and website to work with the accessibility features built into Apple platforms and modern browsers, and we treat accessibility as an ongoing effort rather than a one-time checklist.
1.Conformance Goal
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA on the web, and to follow Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for accessibility in the iOS app. These standards explain how to make digital content more accessible to people with a wide range of abilities, including visual, motor, auditory, and cognitive needs.
Accessibility is a continual process. Some areas may not yet fully meet every success criterion — where we know of gaps, we list them below and work to close them.
2.Supported Features (iOS App)
The Akawntant iOS app supports the following accessibility features. You can enable them in Settings › Accessibility on your iPhone or iPad:
2.1 VoiceOver
Interactive elements — answer options, the mock-exam timer and question palette, flashcards, charts, and progress rings — provide descriptive labels, values, and hints so VoiceOver announces what each control is and its current state.
2.2 Voice Control & Switch Control
The interface is built from standard, labeled controls, so you can navigate and activate elements using Voice Control or Switch Control without relying on gestures alone.
2.3 Larger Text (Dynamic Type)
Text and inline icons scale with your preferred reading size, including the larger accessibility text sizes, so content remains legible as you increase the system text size.
2.4 Dark Interface
The app fully supports Dark Mode and adapts its surfaces to your system appearance, day or night.
2.5 Reduced Motion
When Reduce Motion is enabled, animations such as card flips, progress-ring fills, and screen transitions are simplified or replaced with instant changes.
2.6 Differentiate Without Color
When Differentiate Without Color is enabled, the app adds shape and symbol cues so that information conveyed by color — such as correct and incorrect answers, or answered questions in the exam palette — is also distinguishable without relying on color.
3.Supported Features (Website)
- Semantic HTML structure with headings and landmarks for screen-reader navigation
- Full keyboard navigation with visible focus states
- Text that reflows and remains readable when zoomed or resized
- Respect for the operating system's reduced-motion and color-scheme preferences
- Descriptive text alternatives for meaningful images and icons
4.Known Limitations
We are actively improving these areas:
- The activity heatmap conveys study intensity primarily through color shade; an aggregate summary is available to screen readers, and we are exploring additional non-color cues.
- Some third-party embedded content may not fully meet our accessibility standards.
- Color-contrast tuning across every theme and state is an ongoing review.
5.Feedback & Contact
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, or need information from Akawntant in a different format, please tell us — your feedback helps us prioritize fixes. Contact us at support@akawntant.review and include the page or screen, the assistive technology you were using, and a description of the problem. We aim to respond within five business days.
