Accessibility
Last updated: 26 July 2026
GEMJO is used one-handed, in bright sun, on cheap phones, by people who did not finish school and by people whose eyes are tired at the end of a market day. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and this page says plainly what we do and where we still fall short.
What we aim at
We build towards WCAG 2.2 level AA. We do not claim a certificate for it. Screens are checked with automated accessibility tests on every change, and the main screens are also checked by hand on a small Android phone.
You can speak instead of type
Every record can be spoken in nineteen languages, and screens can be read back aloud. Nothing important is behind typing alone, so a trader who reads slowly still keeps a full book.
Plain words and readable text
We write short sentences and everyday words, not accounting language. Text scales with the phone's own font setting, and colours are checked for contrast in both the light and the dark theme.
Made for a thumb
Buttons are at least 44 pixels tall, spaced apart, and the things you use every day sit within thumb reach at the bottom of the screen. Movement is reduced automatically when your phone asks for less motion or is saving data.
Keyboard and screen reader
Every screen can be reached with a keyboard, focus is always visible, headings and landmarks are marked up so a screen reader can jump around, and images that carry meaning have text.
Where we still fall short
Some long tables on the reports screens are hard work with a screen reader, a few charts still rely on colour alongside their labels, and printed packs are not tagged PDFs yet. These are known and being worked on.
Tell us what blocks you
If something on GEMJO stops you working, write to support@gemjo.app with the screen and the phone you use. We answer within five working days and tell you what we will do and when.
