What we do
- Video answers have captions on by default, placed below the picture so they never cover a face.
- Every answer, video or voice, has a transcript beside the player.
- Nothing autoplays. You can play at 0.75x to 1.5x speed.
- Voice only gets exactly the same space and weight as video.
- Tap targets are at least 44 by 44 pixels, and most are 48 pixels tall.
- Layouts reflow at 320 pixels wide and at 200% zoom.
- Status is never shown by colour alone. Every chip carries words and an icon, and self-declared proof uses a dashed outline.
- Reading text is never smaller than 16 pixels, and text contrast is at least 4.5:1 in both light and dark themes.
- Motion is gentle and switches off completely when your device asks for reduced motion.
- Tooltips open on tap and on keyboard focus, not only on hover.
Known gaps
- Answers need recorded speech. In this early version you can't complete a Pod without recording spoken answers. We're working with disabled users on a supported alternative before launch.
- You need photo ID to complete the real-person check today.
- We haven't yet measured transcript accuracy across accents. Automatic transcripts can be less accurate for some accents. The recording is always the source of truth, and candidates can add a transcript note.
How we test
We test with screen readers, keyboard-only use and 200% zoom, in both light and dark themes.
