Accessibility Statement
Every child should be able to use Surprise Button, including kids who rely on VoiceOver, Voice Control, or other assistive technologies. We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA and keep improving from there.
Our Supported Features
Here's what we support today in the app and on the website.
VoiceOver & Screen Readers
Our app fully supports Apple's VoiceOver technology. All native UI elements, such as buttons and onboarding screens, are properly labeled for screen readers. The educational web content is built with semantic HTML to ensure it can be navigated and read aloud coherently.
Larger Text & Dynamic Type
Surprise Button respects the system-wide text size settings on iPadOS. Both the app's native interface and the web content will scale according to the user's Dynamic Type preferences, ensuring readability for those with low vision.
Sufficient Contrast & Dark Interface
We ensure that text and interactive elements have sufficient color contrast to be easily readable. The app also fully supports the system-wide Dark Mode, providing a comfortable viewing experience in low-light environments.
Voice Control & Keyboard Navigation
Users can navigate and interact with the primary functions of our app using just their voice through Apple's Voice Control feature. Standard keyboard navigation is also supported for moving between elements.
Reduced Motion
We keep animations minimal and purposeful. For users who are sensitive to motion effects, our app respects the system's "Reduce Motion" setting to minimize non-essential animations.
Captions
All video content included in Surprise Button is required to have accurate, synchronized closed captions to ensure it is accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing users.
Feedback & Continuous Improvement
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. If you encounter any barriers or have suggestions for improvement, we want to hear from you. Please reach out to us at hi@surprisebutton.com with "Accessibility Feedback" in the subject line.
