Accessibility settings

Accessibility settings change how CareMap presents and plays Guides for your account. They do not change the authored Guide or another person's experience.

Open Accessibility settings

1. Open Settings from the main navigation.
2. Select Accessibility.
3. Change a preference. CareMap saves each change immediately.
4. Wait for the Saving label to disappear before changing another option.

Your saved choices follow your CareMap account on web, desktop, and mobile. Device capabilities still determine whether speech or haptics are available.

Choose text, motion, haptics, and speech

The Voices section lets you create named cloud Voice Profiles, preview them, and choose your default. A profile combines an approved voice with its own Slow, Normal, or Fast cloud speed and follows your account across devices. See Voice Profiles.

• Guide text size: choose Standard, Large, or Extra large for player prompts.
• Navigation haptics: turn brief native feedback for mobile bottom-tab changes on or off. This requires a supported packaged mobile device.
• Motion: choose System to follow the current device's reduced-motion setting, or Reduce to minimize CareMap page motion.
• Speech rate: choose Slow, Normal, or Fast for device speech. Cloud Voice Profiles keep the speed saved in the profile.
• Speak first player page automatically: choose whether speech starts when a player session opens. An authored page set to always or never speak can override this default.

Customize Guide style

Use Guide style to adjust player presentation and navigation:

• Surface tone: Default uses the Guide's authored surface; Soft and Contrast apply account-level alternatives.
• Page button position: place navigation buttons at the Bottom or Center.
• Page button size: choose Small, Normal, or Extra large.
• Show previous button and Show next button: set fallback navigation when the Guide has not supplied its own behavior.
• Swipe between pages: allow or prevent swipe navigation during playback.
• Choice layout: use the Guide's Default layout or Large tiles with labels beneath their visuals.
• Field answer display: show answer controls as Summary or Compact.

These choices also appear in Guide preview so you can review the experience before playback. They do not change the Guide saved by its author.

If a preference does not save or apply

If an error appears beneath the section, check your connection and select the preference again. The failed change is not kept. If motion looks unchanged while System is selected, check the device's reduced-motion preference. For speech or haptics, confirm the device supports the feature and CareMap is allowed to use it. If one Guide behaves differently, check whether its author set explicit navigation or page-speech behavior.
