Accessibility
Last updated 8 August 2026
TellyPrompter is for people who find reading aloud to a camera difficult. Accessibility is part of the reading experience, not a separate mode or a settings appendix.
Our target
We are working towards WCAG 2.2 Level AA across the public site and the app.
This is a target, not a claim of current conformance. The complete product has not yet passed an independent accessibility audit, so we will not describe it as “WCAG compliant” until it has.
What the product does today
- OpenDyslexic is a full reading face. It has the same text-size range, spacing controls and reading states as the default face.
- Text direction is your choice. Left-to-right and right-to-left are explicit settings across all 34 supported languages; the app does not guess.
- Reduced motion is honoured. If your device asks for less motion, animations and smooth scrolling collapse to instant changes.
- Important cues do not rely on colour alone. The current word and reading position pair colour with shape, weight or brightness.
- Contrast is designed for a real rig. Important controls and reading states are meant to remain legible after beam-splitter glass has taken away a substantial amount of light.
- Keyboard focus is visible. Main controls use native buttons and form elements, with a visible focus indicator for keyboard navigation.
How we talk about this
Concrete reading support matters more than a badge. We will describe the behaviour we have tested—such as OpenDyslexic, explicit text direction and reduced motion—and keep conformance claims separate until the whole journey has earned them.
Known limits
Voice-following depends on speech-recognition support in your browser. If it is unavailable, TellyPrompter still works as a sound-following or steady-speed prompter. Camera and microphone behaviour also varies by browser and device.
