Accessibility at Savi

Savi is built so that every conversation can be understood — by everyone. That includes the 466 million people worldwide with hearing loss, blind and low-vision users on screen readers and refreshable braille displays, users with motor disabilities, and users on the autism spectrum or with cognitive differences.

Standards we follow

  • WCAG 2.2 Level AA — Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, the international standard adopted by the U.S. Department of Justice under the ADA and by the European Accessibility Act 2025.
  • Section 508 — U.S. federal accessibility requirements.
  • EN 301 549 — the European harmonised accessibility standard.
  • Apple Accessibility Nutrition Label — full disclosure of VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Voice Control, and contrast support for the iOS app.

Built-in accessibility features

For deaf and hard-of-hearing users

  • Live captions — real-time on-screen captions during in-person conversations using your device microphone.
  • Speaker labels — every line of dialogue is colour-coded and tagged by speaker so you can follow multi-party conversations.
  • Hearing aid compatible — works with any Bluetooth or Made-for-iPhone hearing aid through your operating system.
  • Transcript-first results view — readable, monospaced caption mode with adjustable size and high contrast.
  • 99-language transcription & translation — including Tagalog and Taglish. Translate any session into a different language for a deaf reader from the results page.

For blind and low-vision users

  • Screen reader support — semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and live regions throughout the web app. Tested with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.
  • Refreshable braille display — full keyboard navigation and proper heading structure work natively with braille displays via the user's screen reader.
  • High-contrast mode — toggle in account settings; meets WCAG AAA 7:1 contrast ratio.
  • Large text mode — scale all text up to 200% without loss of functionality.
  • Read-aloud (TTS) — every session result can be read aloud directly from the results page with adjustable voice and speed.
  • Refreshable braille bridge — send the executive summary or full transcript to a connected braille display as Grade 1 or Grade 2 contracted braille.
  • Braille-to-audio — accept braille input from a refreshable display and convert it back into spoken audio for hearing collaborators.

For motor and cognitive accessibility

  • Full keyboard navigation — every interactive element is reachable and operable with the keyboard alone.
  • Reduced motion — respects the system prefers-reduced-motion setting; animations are disabled when requested.
  • Plain-language summaries — every recording also produces a short, jargon-free version of the summary.

Known limitations

We're committed to honest disclosure. The following are areas where Savi does not yet fully meet our own standards:

  • Native iOS VoiceOver coverage and web parity are now matched as of June 2026; remaining gaps are tracked publicly in the accessibility addendum.
  • Some marketing pages still use decorative gradients that fall below WCAG AAA contrast; the application surface itself meets AA throughout.
  • The Savi pendant hardware is not yet certified for hearing aid telecoil compatibility.
