What the interface supports
- Keyboard-only navigation and visible focus.

- Large controls, plain language and no timed questions.
- Text reflow and zoom without horizontal scrolling.
- Reduced motion preferences.
- Typed input whenever voice input is unavailable.
Language access
The interface is currently in English. Voice input can preserve spoken words in their original language and add an English translation for the user to check and edit. On staging, optional information-check questions can be translated into the detected language and are shown before the canonical English wording. Answers can be typed or spoken in the person’s preferred language. Automated transcription and translation can make mistakes, especially with names, dates and places. Future full-interface translations require human review. Listed interpreter options come from provider information and should be confirmed directly with the service.
Known limitation
A public accessibility contact must be added before launch. Until then, this page records the intended standard: WCAG 2.2 AA.
