Accessibility
Oravio is built for family caregivers — which means many of our users have disabilities themselves, or care for someone who does. Accessibility is a core part of what we build, not an afterthought.
Supported accessibility features
VoiceOver
All buttons, interactive elements, and navigation are labeled for VoiceOver. Headers, lists, and form fields are properly announced.
Voice Control
Every tappable element has an accessible label that matches what Voice Control users can say to activate it.
Reduce Motion
Oravio respects your device's Reduce Motion setting. Animations — including the welcome screen pulse — are disabled when Reduce Motion is on.
Larger Text
Support for iOS Dynamic Type is on our roadmap. Text will scale with your system font size setting.
Dark Mode
A full dark color scheme is planned for a near-term update.
Sufficient Contrast
We are auditing all text and background color combinations against WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios.
Using VoiceOver with Oravio
Oravio is designed to be fully navigable with VoiceOver enabled. Key things to know:
- All buttons are announced with descriptive labels — "Add medication", "Go back", "Join circle"
- Tab bar items are announced as "Home tab", "Medications tab", and so on
- Section headings are marked as headers so you can navigate by heading
- Form fields announce their label when focused
- Avatar images are described by the person's name
- Disabled buttons announce their disabled state
- Selected filter chips announce their selected state
Feedback
If you encounter an accessibility barrier in Oravio, we want to know about it. Caregiving is hard enough — the app should not add friction for users with disabilities.
Email us with the screen name, what you were trying to do, and what happened. We aim to respond within one business day and address accessibility issues in the next release.
