Access for everyone
Accessibility Statement
We want BigOit to be usable by everyone, including people who use VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, Switch Control or Voice Control. This statement describes where the app stands — honestly, including what is not done yet.
1. Conformance status
BigOit aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA as applied to native mobile apps, and to follow Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines for accessibility.
BigOit is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. “Partially conformant” means most of the app meets the standard, but no full third-party audit has been completed and some areas are still being verified. Known gaps are listed in section 3.
2. What BigOit supports today
- VoiceOver. Controls carry text labels describing their purpose, including the icon-only buttons in the chat bar, the dictation controls and the model list. Messages are announced as a unit rather than fragment by fragment.
- Dynamic Type. The app uses system text styles throughout, so it follows your chosen text size, including the accessibility sizes, and the Bold Text setting.
- Reduce Motion. With it on, the animated mark stops moving, the typing indicator settles, the dictation waveform holds still, and the first-run history hint is replaced by a static caption.
- Dark and light appearance, with an explicit override in Settings for people who need one regardless of the system setting.
- Touch targets laid out to a minimum of 44×44 points.
- Speech. Answers can be read aloud in the language they were written in, and dictation lets you speak instead of typing. Both run on the device.
- Right-to-left languages. Arabic lays out right-to-left correctly within an otherwise stable layout.
- No time limits. Nothing expires or requires a response within a set time, and generation can be stopped at any point.
- Selectable text. Both your messages and the answers can be selected, highlighted and copied, and code blocks have their own copy control.
- Permissions explained in place. If a permission has been refused, BigOit says which one, why the feature needs it, and offers a direct link to the right page in Settings.
3. Known limitations
We would rather name these than let you discover them:
- The app has not yet had a full independent accessibility audit; the statement above rests on our own testing.
- Colour contrast has not been formally measured on every surface. The translucent “glass” materials used for the chat bar and cards can reduce contrast over some backgrounds. Turning on Increase Contrast or Reduce Transparency in iOS makes these surfaces solid.
- Model output is generated text and cannot be guaranteed to follow plain-language or reading-level guidance.
- Very long answers containing large code listings can be slow to navigate with VoiceOver.
- Dictation depends on the offline speech languages installed on your device; a language you have not downloaded in iOS Settings cannot be transcribed.
4. Compatibility
BigOit is built for iOS 26 and later and is designed to work with the accessibility features built into iOS, including VoiceOver, Zoom, Voice Control, Switch Control, Display Accommodations, Reduce Motion and Larger Text.
5. How this was assessed
By self-evaluation: manual testing with VoiceOver, testing at the largest Dynamic Type sizes, and testing with Reduce Motion, Bold Text and Increase Contrast enabled, on physical hardware rather than the simulator.
6. Feedback
If you hit a barrier in BigOit, please tell us — it is the fastest route to getting it fixed. Email bigoit.support@gmail.com with the device and iOS version you are using, the accessibility features you have turned on, and what you were trying to do. We aim to reply within five business days.
