Accessibility

We want Communication Coach by MyKey to work for everyone. Our goal is to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. We are not finished. This page says what we have done, how we checked it, and what we have not checked yet.

What we have built in

You can reach and use every button, link and box with a keyboard alone.
A "Skip to main content" link is the first stop on every screen.
When you open a tool, pick a place, save, delete or confirm something, the keyboard focus moves to a sensible place, so you do not lose your spot.
Short messages such as "Phrase saved." are sent to screen readers.
Each screen has one main heading, and each tool has its own page title.
On the Feelings Board, the feelings are marked as one choice out of a set, and you can move between them with the arrow keys. The feeling you picked shows a check mark as well as a color.
Button names start with the words you can see, so voice control works.
Text has strong contrast against its background, and the outlines of text boxes and word buttons are easy to see.
Buttons and links are at least 44 pixels tall, so they are easier to tap.
The app fits a small phone screen, 320 pixels wide, with no sideways scrolling. It also works with text set to twice the usual size.
The starry background moves gently. A Pause motion button in the bottom corner stops all movement, and your choice is remembered on this device. If your device is set to Reduce Motion, the background stays still.
If a button is not ready, pressing it tells you what is missing.
Speaking uses your device's own voice, set to English. Every tool that speaks has a "Stop speaking" button. If speaking does not work, a note on the screen says so and screen readers hear it too.
When you tap a word in Core Words, you hear it once, not twice.
Core Words tells you when your message is full at 12 words.
There is no timer and no flashing. Sound plays only when you tap a word, a feeling, a phrase or a Speak button.

How we tested

We tested on October 12, 2026. We ran automated axe checks on every screen. We walked through every tool using only a keyboard. We checked the app at a phone width of 320 pixels and with larger text. We checked it with Reduce Motion turned on. All of this was done in the Chromium browser.

What we have not tested yet

People who use VoiceOver or TalkBack every day have not tested the app yet.
People who use a communication device or switch access every day have not tested the app yet.
Windows High Contrast. The gold titles are set to switch to a plain color there, but we have not checked it on Windows yet.
The Safari and Firefox browsers.
Real phones and tablets, and how each one's built-in voice sounds.
The app inside each flipbook viewer.
