Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: March 9, 2026

Serene Space AI is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

1. Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Serene Space AI is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

2. Accessibility Features

Our platform includes the following accessibility features:

2.1 Keyboard Navigation

• All interactive elements are keyboard accessible

• Visible focus indicators
• Skip navigation links available
• No keyboard traps

2.2 Screen Reader Compatibility

• Semantic HTML markup for proper structure
• ARIA labels and roles where appropriate
• Alternative text for all images and icons
• Clear heading hierarchy
• Descriptive link text

Tested with: JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), TalkBack (Android)

2.3 Visual Design

• Sufficient color contrast ratios (4.5:1 minimum for normal text)
• Text resizable up to 200% without loss of functionality
• Content reflows at different zoom levels
• No information conveyed by color alone
• Consistent visual design across the platform

2.4 Content

• Clear, simple language where possible
• Readable font choices (Inter font family)
• Generous line spacing and paragraph spacing
• Left-aligned text for easier reading
• Descriptive headings and labels

2.5 Multimedia

• Input validation with clear feedback
• Sufficient time for form completion

3. Assistive Technologies

Serene Space AI is designed to work with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen readers: JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack
• Screen magnification software: ZoomText, Windows Magnifier
• Speech recognition software: Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Windows Speech Recognition
• Alternative input devices: Switch controls, eye-tracking systems
• Browser accessibility features: High contrast mode, font size adjustments

4. Browser Compatibility

Our platform is tested and compatible with:

• Desktop: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (latest versions)
• Mobile: Safari on iOS, Chrome on Android (latest versions)

For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of your preferred browser with JavaScript enabled.

5. Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some limitations may exist:

• AI Voice Recognition: May have difficulty with certain accents, speech patterns, or background noise. Text input is always available as an alternative.
• Animated Elements: Some subtle animations may not be pausable. Users with vestibular disorders can enable "reduced motion" in their operating system settings, which we respect.
• Third-Party Integrations: Some third-party services (payment processor) may have their own accessibility limitations.
• Complex AI Responses: AI-generated content may occasionally lack optimal structure for screen readers. We are continuously improving this.

6. Ongoing Efforts

We are committed to continuous improvement. Our ongoing accessibility initiatives include:

• Regular accessibility audits by third-party experts
• User testing with people with disabilities
• Training for our development team on accessibility best practices
• Incorporating accessibility into our design and development process
• Monitoring and fixing accessibility issues as they are discovered
• Updating content and features to maintain compliance with evolving standards

7. Accessibility in AI Coaching

7.1 Coaching Modalities

We offer multiple ways to interact with AI coaches:

• Text-based chat: For users who prefer or require text communication
• Voice conversations: For users who find voice interaction easier
• Hybrid mode: Users can switch between voice and text within the same session

7.2 Customization Options

• Adjustable text size within the platform
• Dark mode and light mode options
• Conversation pacing controls
• Session length preferences
• Notification preferences

8. Third-Party Content

While we strive to ensure accessibility throughout our platform, some third-party content and services may not be fully within our control. We work with vendors who share our commitment to accessibility and encourage them to improve their accessibility standards.

9. Mobile Accessibility

Our platform is designed to be accessible on mobile devices:

• Responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes
