Accessibility Statement

1. Our Commitment

Orleia is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We believe that productivity tools should be available to everyone, regardless of ability. We are continually improving the user experience and applying relevant accessibility standards.

2. Accessibility Features

Orleia incorporates the following accessibility features:

• Accessibility Menu - Quick controls available from the top bar on the landing page (and in Settings → Accessibility in the app)
• Reduced Motion - Toggleable in the accessibility menu: disables animations site-wide, freezes the animated hero background, removes smooth scrolling, and respects your system's prefers-reduced-motion setting automatically
• High Contrast - Toggleable mode with stronger borders, darker/lighter text, and full-opacity labels in both light and dark variants
• Dyslexia-Friendly Font - Toggleable typeface option with increased letter spacing, word spacing, and line height for easier reading
• Underline Links - Toggleable mode that underlines every link so it can be identified without relying on color alone (WCAG 1.4.1)
• Font Size Options - Adjustable font sizes (Small, Medium, Large) from the accessibility menu and Settings
• Focus Indicators - Visible focus rings on all interactive elements
• Accessible Onboarding - The setup flow (age confirmation, language, appearance, and the optional profile) is fully keyboard-navigable, with labels and focus states on every control
• Keyboard Shortcuts - Global shortcuts (Ctrl+K search, Ctrl+Shift+N/T/H to create, Ctrl+B sidebar, Ctrl+, settings), documented in Settings → Shortcuts
• ARIA Labels - Semantic HTML and ARIA attributes where appropriate; accessibility toggles expose their state via aria-pressed
• Semantic Structure - Proper heading hierarchy and landmark regions
