Accessibility

With You is designed for all families, regardless of abilities, devices, or technical comfort. Here's how we make sure everyone can get help when they need it.

Our Commitment

Medical crises don't discriminate, and neither should the tools that help families navigate them. With You follows Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 AA) and is designed to work for people with diverse abilities and needs.

Visual Accessibility

🔤 Large, Clear Text

All text meets contrast requirements and is readable at standard zoom levels. Font sizes are optimized for readability on all devices.

🎨 High Contrast

Color combinations meet WCAG AA standards. Important information is never conveyed by color alone.

🔍 Zoom Support

The interface works smoothly at 200% zoom and maintains functionality at higher zoom levels.

👁 Screen Reader Friendly

All content is properly labeled for screen readers. Images have descriptive alt text. Forms have clear labels.

Motor and Mobility

👆 Large Touch Targets

All buttons and links are at least 44px in size - easy to tap even with tired fingers or when using assistive devices.

⌨️ Keyboard Navigation

Everything works with just a keyboard. Clear focus indicators show where you are on the page.

🎙 Voice First

The core functionality works through voice recording - no typing required when you're stressed or mobility is limited.

⏱ No Time Limits

Take your time. No automatic timeouts or time-limited actions that could exclude people who need more time.

Hearing and Audio

📝 Text Alternatives

All audio content has text alternatives. Voice recordings are automatically transcribed and can be edited.

🔇 No Auto-Play

Audio never plays automatically. You control when and what you want to hear.

📱 Visual Notifications

Important alerts are shown visually as well as auditorily. No critical information is audio-only.

🎧 Volume Control

When audio is present, volume can be controlled independently of system volume.

Cognitive and Learning

🧠 Simple Language

We explain medical information in clear, simple terms. Complex concepts are broken down into understandable parts.

📍 Clear Navigation

Consistent layout and navigation patterns. You always know where you are and how to get where you need to go.

🔄 Predictable Interface

Buttons and links work consistently throughout the platform. No surprises or unexpected behavior.

💾 Auto-Save

Your information is saved automatically. You won't lose work if you get distracted or need to step away.

Device and Network Accessibility

📱 Old Devices

Works on older smartphones and tablets. You don't need the latest device to get help for your family.

🌐 Slow Networks

Optimized for hospital WiFi and slow connections. Core features work even with poor connectivity.

🔋 Low Battery Mode

Efficient design that works when your battery is low - exactly when you might need it most.

📶 Offline Support

Can view saved information even when offline. New updates sync when connection returns.

Language and Literacy

🌍 Multiple Languages

Interface available in English, Hindi, and Hinglish with more languages planned.

🗣 Voice Input

Core functionality works through speech in multiple languages - no reading or writing required.

🎧 Audio Output

Information can be read aloud by your device's built-in voice features.

📚 Reading Level

Text is written at accessible reading levels with medical terms explained simply.
