SaySpace Accessibility Statement.

How we approach accessibility in SaySpace, and how to give feedback.

1. Our commitment

Accessibility matters. Alderframe is committed to making SaySpace usable for as many people as possible, including people with vision, motor, hearing, or cognitive differences. We design SaySpace to work alongside the system-level accessibility features built into iOS, and we treat accessibility as an ongoing part of how we build, not a one-off check.

2. Accessibility considerations

SaySpace is being designed and developed with the following considerations in mind:

Dynamic Type. Text scales with the system Dynamic Type setting.
VoiceOver. Interactive elements are designed to be reachable and labelled for VoiceOver. We aim to give every meaningful control a clear, descriptive accessibility label and hint.
Reduced Motion. We honour the iOS Reduce Motion setting and provide subtler alternatives where motion is used decoratively.
Captions and alt text. SaySpace is being designed to encourage alt text on images and (where possible) captions for video and audio. We will continue to evolve these tools as the product develops.
Colour contrast. Text and key UI surfaces are designed to meet reasonable contrast levels against both light and dark surfaces, including with Increase Contrast enabled.
Voice Control & Switch Control. Interactive elements are intended to be operable using iOS Voice Control and Switch Control, leveraging native iOS controls wherever possible.
Supportive keyboard navigation. Where SaySpace is used with an external keyboard, we aim to support useful shortcuts and focus management.
Not relying only on colour. Status indicators (such as Account Health) are designed to be understandable through labels and shapes as well as colour.

3. Known limitations

SaySpace is still in development. Some areas of the app may not yet meet the standard we are aiming for. We are actively working on these and we treat accessibility regressions as bugs.

4. Feedback

If you encounter an accessibility issue in SaySpace, or have a suggestion that would make the app easier for you to use, please get in touch:

Email: [email protected]
Subject line: SaySpace Accessibility

Please include your iOS version, device model, SaySpace version (once installed), and a short description of the issue.

5. Ongoing improvements

Accessibility is iterative. We will keep this statement up to date as SaySpace evolves, and we will document material improvements and known issues here.

6. Standards and guidance

For SaySpace, we look to: Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (Accessibility), Apple’s iOS Accessibility frameworks, and the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 where they translate to a native iOS app. This statement is not a formal conformance claim and does not constitute legal or regulatory certification.
