Accessibility

Built for every body, every day.

Tralo is for people who are sometimes too tired to type, sometimes can't see well, and sometimes can't tolerate animation. Accessibility is not an afterthought but as a foundation.

Our commitment

We design and build to meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards across the Tralo app and website. We test with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and assistive switch input. When we fall short, we fix it.

What we ship

• Large touch targets. Every tappable element is at least 44×44 points (iOS) / 48×48 dp (Android), even on dense screens.
• Dynamic text sizing. Tralo respects your system text-size setting. Content reflows; layouts don't break.
• High contrast. Text and key UI hit at minimum 4.5:1 contrast in light mode and 7:1 in dark mode.
• Dark mode and light mode. Full dark theme, not a shaded version of light. Toggle on the website is in the top-right of every page.
• Reduced motion. If your device has Reduce Motion on, every animation in Tralo respects it. Flora's mood states still appear; they just don't move.
• Screen reader friendly. All controls have accessibility labels. Forms announce errors. Lists announce counts. The body map's regions are individually labeled.
• Voice input. On hard days when typing is too much, you can dictate notes, symptoms, and journal entries directly.
• Color is never the only signal. Severity uses color, label, and icon together. Color-blind users won't miss anything.
• Trauma-informed copy. No alarmist red flags for routine actions. No shame on missed days. Calm, direct language.

What's still in progress

• Live captioning of voice notes for users who are Deaf or hard of hearing
• Switch control optimizations for the body map
• Additional language localization beyond English at launch
