Core mobile accessibility systems
These settings are designed to work together. A user might combine Blind Sight, screen reader announcements, larger text, high contrast, reduced motion, and folder control rather than choosing only one accommodation.
Blind Sight on mobile
Blind Sight can hide the visible interface while preserving the structure needed for screen reader workflows, giving users more privacy in public or shared spaces.
- The mobile mailbox exposes a direct Blind Sight toggle.
- Theme building treats Blind Sight as a first-class state rather than a visual afterthought.
- The setting mirrors the desktop privacy model in a phone-sized experience.
Screen reader announcements
The login flow and major state changes use spoken announcements so transitions are not only visual.
- Welcome, provider selection, provider login, and BlindBox account login steps are announced.
- Progress indicators expose step labels such as provider choice and login.
- Status feedback communicates successful actions, warnings, and failures.
Readable text and layout comfort
Mobile supports a broad set of reading controls for users who rely on low vision, magnification, or mixed auditory and visual workflows.
- Increase font size and use a more readable font stack.
- Add text spacing and choose a comfortable reading width.
- Prefer plain-text message bodies when HTML is visually or semantically noisy.
Contrast and visual customization
The mobile theme system supports light, dark, and high-contrast variants, with additional controls for borders, transparency, and custom color palettes.
- Edit colors per theme instead of accepting one fixed palette.
- Use larger controls and stronger borders for clearer touch targets and boundaries.
- Reduce transparency when solid surfaces are easier to parse.
Motion, sound, and tactile feedback
The app lets users decide how much feedback should come through animation, speech, and haptics.
- Reduced motion can calm transitions and drawer movement.
- Auto-read and read-aloud speed settings help messages start speaking at a comfortable pace.
- Tactile feedback can reinforce actions without depending on vision.
Folder control and predictable navigation
The mobile drawer can be shaped around the folders users actually want, which keeps repeated navigation shorter.
- Show or hide optional folders while keeping Inbox as the dependable anchor.
- Reorder optional folder rows to match the user’s daily routine.
- Use All Inboxes when the most important task is triage across accounts.
