  • Assistance with interactions: Interaction with forms; pointer entries can be cancelled or undone.
  • Consistency/predictability: Consistent navigation; context remains when focused in or during input.
  • Semantic structure: Content is labelled with structural elements such as headings, lists and labels that reflect the context of meaning.
  • Comprehensibility: Headings, form labels and link texts are understandable, correct language declaration is used.
  • Display flexibility: The presentation of the content can be adapted to the needs of the users: text size, control over animated elements and media.

Key findings

The app’s settings are easy to configure with screen readers. When it comes to using the keyboard, things start to take a turn. For example, when navigating back from a subpoint in the Settings, the focus jumps to the ‘Close’ button instead of back to the Settings category. The screen-sharing function is not accessible with the keyboard. The headings in the app are used sensibly throughout. Most of the labels for switches have been chosen logically and are detailed enough. Status messages are usually accessible, for example when displaying search suggestions or when creating an appointment. When it comes to sending and receiving messages, however, such feedback is lacking. The calendar is not fully accessible. As a result, interaction using the keyboard and screen reader is only possible to a very limited extent in the day selection area. When zooming the content, overlaps and line breaks occur, and the font size is not adjusted continuously.
