Fix Stuff AI App

Accessibility

Fix Stuff AI is designed for everyone. We believe everyone deserves the ability to fix things themselves, regardless of ability. Here’s how we make that possible.

Our Commitment to Inclusive Design

Accessibility isn’t an afterthought at Fix Stuff AI — it’s a core design principle. We follow Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines for accessibility and target WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across the app. We continuously test with assistive technologies and welcome feedback from users of all abilities to improve the experience.

Supported Features

Seven accessibility pillars built into every screen of Fix Stuff AI.

VoiceOver

Full screen reader support for blind and low-vision users.

Fix Stuff AI is fully compatible with Apple VoiceOver. Every button, label, image, and interactive element includes descriptive accessibility labels so you can navigate the entire app using gestures and spoken feedback. Repair instructions, cost breakdowns, and AI analysis results are all read aloud clearly and in logical order.

  • All UI elements include descriptive accessibility labels
  • Logical reading order for repair instructions and results
  • Image descriptions for AI-analyzed photos
  • Rotor support for quick navigation between headings and controls
  • Custom VoiceOver actions for common repair workflows

Voice Control

Navigate and interact hands-free using your voice.

Designed for users who navigate their device entirely by voice. All buttons and controls are labeled and reachable via Voice Control commands. Whether your hands are occupied mid-repair or you rely on voice input for accessibility, Fix Stuff AI responds to spoken commands throughout the app.

  • All interactive controls are accessible by name
  • Numbered overlay support for precise element selection
  • Voice-driven camera capture for repair photos
  • Hands-free navigation through repair steps
  • Compatible with custom voice commands

Larger Text

Dynamic Type support scales text to your preferred size.

Fix Stuff AI fully supports iOS Dynamic Type. Text across the app — including repair instructions, part names, cost estimates, and navigation labels — scales smoothly to match your system font size preference. Layouts adapt gracefully to accommodate larger text without clipping or overlapping content.

  • Supports all Dynamic Type sizes including Accessibility sizes
  • Layouts reflow to accommodate larger text gracefully
  • No truncation of critical repair information
  • Readable at every size from xSmall to AX5
  • Pinch-to-zoom available on detailed repair views

Dark Interface

A carefully designed dark theme that reduces eye strain.

Fix Stuff AI includes a purpose-built dark interface that follows your system appearance setting automatically. The dark theme uses carefully chosen contrast ratios, muted backgrounds, and soft accent colors to reduce eye strain in low-light environments — perfect for repairs in dimly lit spaces like basements, attics, or under sinks.

  • Automatic light/dark switching based on system settings
  • WCAG AA contrast ratios maintained in both themes
  • Reduced brightness for comfortable use in dark environments
  • Optimized for OLED displays to minimize power consumption
  • All charts, icons, and images adapt to the active theme

Differentiate Without Color Alone

Information is never conveyed by color alone.

Every piece of information in Fix Stuff AI is communicated through multiple visual cues — not just color. Status indicators use icons and text labels alongside color. Repair difficulty levels display both a label and a symbol. Cost comparisons include numerical values, not just colored bars. This ensures users with color vision deficiencies can access all content equally.

  • Status indicators pair color with icons and text labels
  • Repair difficulty shown with labels, icons, and color combined
  • Charts and graphs include patterns and data labels
  • Error and success states use icons in addition to color
  • Interactive elements are distinguishable by shape and border, not just hue

Sufficient Contrast

Text and controls meet WCAG AA contrast standards.

All text, icons, and interactive controls in Fix Stuff AI meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 Level AA contrast requirements (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and UI components). This applies to both light and dark themes, ensuring readability for users with low vision or those using the app in bright outdoor conditions.

  • Body text meets 4.5:1 minimum contrast ratio
  • Large text and headings meet 3:1 minimum contrast ratio
  • Interactive UI components meet 3:1 against adjacent colors
  • Focus indicators are clearly visible in both themes
  • Tested across a range of display brightness levels

Captions

Video tutorials include captions for deaf and hard-of-hearing users.

Repair tutorial videos within Fix Stuff AI display captions so deaf and hard-of-hearing users can follow along. When available, videos include closed captions sourced from the content provider. The app also presents repair steps as readable text alongside any video content, so no critical information requires audio.

  • Closed captions displayed on tutorial videos when available
  • All repair steps available as readable text independent of video
  • Caption styling respects system accessibility preferences
  • Audio-described content supplemented with on-screen text
  • No critical information conveyed through audio alone
