Accessibility reference

CareMap provides account-level controls for reading, motion, speech, touch, and Guide playback. Your saved preferences follow your account across web, desktop, and mobile, although the device still controls features such as speech and haptics.

Change your accessibility preferences

1. Open Settings.
2. Select Accessibility.
3. Choose a setting. CareMap saves each change as you make it.

The available controls are:

• Voices: create named cloud Voice Profiles, choose their cloud speed, and set a default that follows your account across devices.

• Guide text size: Standard, Large, or Extra large for prompts in the Guide player.

• Navigation haptics: play brief native feedback when changing bottom tabs on a supported mobile device.

• Motion: choose System to follow the device's reduced-motion setting or Reduce to minimize page motion in CareMap.

• Speech rate: choose Slow, Normal, or Fast for device speech. A cloud Voice Profile uses the speed saved in that profile.

• Speak first player page automatically: start speaking when a player session opens. A Guide author can set a page to always or never speak automatically, overriding this account default for that page.

Adjust Guide playback

Under Guide style, you can set:

• the player surface to Default, Soft, or Contrast;
• page buttons at the Bottom or Center, with Small, Normal, or Extra large targets;
• whether previous and next buttons appear when the Guide has not set its own navigation behavior;
• whether swiping moves between pages;
• the default choice layout or Large tiles; and
• Summary or Compact Field answer controls.

These settings change how you experience Guides; they do not change the Guide for other people. A Guide's authored navigation or page speech choice can take priority where noted.

Use keyboard and assistive controls

CareMap controls use visible labels, focus states, and status announcements. Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move through controls, then Enter or Space to activate the focused button, tab, or choice. Dialogs keep keyboard focus within the open window and return it when the dialog closes.

On touch devices, use the page buttons or enable Swipe between pages. CareMap avoids small text-input sizes that can trigger unwanted browser zoom on iPhone and iPad.

If a setting does not apply

If CareMap shows an error beneath a setting, check your connection and try the change again. For motion, confirm the device preference when System is selected. For speech or haptics, check that the device and browser support the feature and allow CareMap to use it. If a Guide behaves differently from your default, its author may have set an explicit page or navigation option.
