Accessibility at Remem

Remem aims to make place-based memory capture understandable and operable by more people. This page separates support that is present on the website from goals and limits that still need testing in the Android app.

This website

Accessibility support built into these pages

Semantic structure

Pages use landmarks, ordered headings, descriptive links, labelled navigation and data tables with header cells.

Keyboard access

Links and disclosure controls can be reached by keyboard. A skip link moves focus past repeated navigation to the main content.

Visible focus

Keyboard focus receives a visible outline so the current interactive item is easier to identify.

Responsive reading

Layouts adapt to smaller screens, and navigation can scroll horizontally rather than forcing links outside the viewport.

Reduced motion preference

The website respects the operating system’s reduced-motion preference by suppressing non-essential transition duration and smooth scrolling.

Plain-language answers

Key pages lead with the answer, expand abbreviations such as CSV and GPX, and state feature limits without relying on colour alone.

Android app

Current design goals

Multiple ways to capture

Remem offers voice and typed capture so speaking is not the only way to create a place pin. Photos can add visual context where that is useful.

Primary app controls are designed with a target of at least 44 by 44 device-independent pixels, but individual flows still require continued accessibility review.

Clear state and wording

The design goal is for labels to describe the action or result, with errors explained in direct language and destructive actions distinguished from ordinary controls.

Users should not have to sign in for core local use, reducing an avoidable barrier to first use.

Known challenges

Areas that may still create barriers

Map-based information

A map is spatial and may be harder to interpret without sight or precise touch. The list view provides another way to approach saved pins, but equivalent detail should be checked flow by flow.

Voice and speech recognition

Speech recognition can mishear words, accents, names or speech affected by background noise. Review captured text and use typed input when it is more reliable.

Photos and recordings

A photo may need a written description to remain meaningful, while a recording may not suit users who cannot hear it. Add useful text where possible.

Third-party interfaces

Android permission screens, email sign-in, purchase screens and exported-file destinations are provided partly by other services and may have their own accessibility behaviour.

Include the page or app screen, what you were trying to do, your Android version, device model and assistive technology if relevant. You do not need to disclose a disability or send private memory content.
