We want everyone to be able to read Scripture and pray with New Mercies, including people who are blind or have low vision, are hard of hearing, have limited dexterity, or process information differently.
Our goal
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, as they apply to mobile apps, and the platform accessibility guidelines from Apple and Google.
What the app supports
- Screen readers: VoiceOver (iPhone) and TalkBack (Android). Buttons, tabs, verse actions and controls have spoken labels and roles. Verses are read with their numbers.
- Larger text: the app follows your phone's text size setting, and Settings → Text size makes Scripture larger still.
- Contrast: text colors are chosen to meet or exceed WCAG AA contrast in the Parchment, Light and Night themes. Night is designed for low light.
- Reduce Motion: when Reduce Motion is on, the app avoids animated transitions where it can.
- Touch targets: buttons are at least 44 by 44 points.
- No time limits: nothing in the app times out on you while you read or write.
- Color isn't the only signal: selected states are also shown with outlines, check marks and spoken state.
Known limitations
- Verse images you create in the studio are pictures. When you share one, share the text too (the studio's "Share text" button) so people using screen readers get the words.
- Home and lock screen widgets follow the platform's own accessibility support, which is more limited than the app's.
- An audio Bible isn't available yet. Your phone's built-in screen reader or Spoken Content feature can read any chapter aloud.
Tell us about a barrier
If something in the app is hard to use with your setup, please tell us at privacy@colosimoventures.com with your device, settings and what happened. We aim to reply within 5 business days and to fix accessibility problems as a priority.
