Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 8 November 2026

AloudMe is built so that people who are blind or have low vision, dyslexia, or difficulty reading can read and listen comfortably. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA and the European standard EN 301 549, as the European Accessibility Act requires for e-reading software.

What the app supports

• VoiceOver and TalkBack: every button and action has a spoken name, and book actions (edit, pin, finish, delete) are in the actions menu as well as behind gestures.
• Text size: any size from 70% to 250%, plus your device's own text size setting.
• Reading light: an anti-glare page, an e-ink style page and your device's light or dark mode, all checked for contrast.
• Listening: every book can be read aloud, with the sentence being read highlighted.
• Reduced motion: animations stop when Reduce Motion (iPhone and iPad) or Remove animations (Android) is on.
• No information by colour alone: states such as pinned, new or finished are also shown with words or icons.

Known limitations

• Pictures inside PDF files have no text descriptions unless the file provides them.
• Some PDFs are scanned images without text; the app can't read those aloud yet.
