Amelia

Accessibility

Last reviewed September 24, 2026 · Vice Robotics LLC

Our commitment

We want everyone, including people with disabilities, to be able to use Amelia independently. This page explains how we design and test Amelia for accessibility, what works today, what we’re still improving, and how to reach us.

It covers this website (tappd-app.com), the receipt claim, invite and settle-up pages that Amelia links open, the Amelia iPhone app and the Amelia App Clip.

Standards we design and test against

  • Website and link pages — we design and test against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, from the W3C (also published as ISO/IEC 40500:2025).
  • iPhone app and App Clip — we design against Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines for accessibility and the iOS features VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Bold Text, Increase Contrast, Reduce Motion, Reduce Transparency, Voice Control, Switch Control and Full Keyboard Access, using the W3C’s WCAG2ICT guidance to apply WCAG 2.2 AA to native apps.

Conformance status

Website and link pages: partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA (tested September 24, 2026).

“Partially conformant” is the W3C’s term for content where some parts don’t yet fully meet the standard. Every page and state passed our automated and keyboard checks in the Chromium and WebKit browser engines, listed under How we test. We haven’t yet tested with screen readers, so we don’t claim full conformance.

iPhone app and App Clip: partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA as applied through WCAG2ICT (source review, September 24, 2026).

Parts of the app don’t yet fully meet the standard; they’re listed under Known limitations. The app hasn’t yet been tested on a device with VoiceOver.

Accessibility features

On this website and the link pages

  • Every link, button and form control works with a keyboard, and a “Skip to main content” link comes first on each page.
  • A visible focus outline on every control, measured at 3:1 or more against the colors around it.
  • Light and Dark appearance, following your device by default.
  • Enhanced contrast, Reduce Motion and Solid backgrounds settings (see below).
  • Pages reflow to a 320-pixel-wide window and 400% zoom without scrolling sideways, and still work with larger text spacing.
  • Windows contrast themes: focus outlines and control borders stay visible.
  • Support form errors appear as text next to each field and stay until you fix them.
  • The settle-up page tells screen readers when it has finished loading or couldn’t load.
  • No CAPTCHA, timed task or account is needed to read these pages or contact us.

In the iPhone app and App Clip

These come from our review of the app’s source code and its automated tests. We haven’t yet checked them on a device with VoiceOver.

  • Text follows your Dynamic Type size on every screen except the basic calculator (see Known limitations).
  • Light, Dark and System appearance in Account → Appearance.
  • VoiceOver labels and hints on buttons and controls, including every App Clip button.
  • A visible focus ring for Full Keyboard Access.
  • Decorative and onboarding animations follow Reduce Motion.
  • Apple’s automated accessibility audit runs on nine main screens in our UI tests and fails the test when a new issue appears.

Display and accessibility settings

These settings change how this website looks in this browser. You can also open them from the Display button at the top of every page.

  • System follows your device or browser: Light or Dark appearance, Increase Contrast, Reduce Motion and, in browsers that share it, Reduce Transparency.
  • Browsers share only some device settings with websites, and some people want a change only here. That’s why each setting also has a manual choice. The manual choices can only add contrast or remove motion; they never reduce what your device asks for.
  • Your choices stay in this browser on this site. We don’t send them anywhere, and we never check whether you use assistive technology.
  • To make text bigger, use your browser’s zoom or text size. The pages are built to work with both.

How we test

For this release, on September 24, 2026, we tested the website and link pages with:

  • automated checks with axe-core 4.13 (WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 Level A and AA rules) on every page and state, in every Display setting, in Chromium and WebKit;
  • keyboard-only walks forward and backward through every page, measuring each focus outline’s contrast and checking that sticky bars never cover the focused control;
  • measured color contrast for every text, control border and focus color in Light, Dark and Enhanced contrast;
  • 320-pixel and 400% zoom layouts, and WCAG text spacing;
  • Windows contrast themes, emulated in Chromium;
  • blocked browser storage and JavaScript turned off.

These checks run automatically on every change to the website, and a failure blocks the release. Screen-reader testing with VoiceOver on macOS and iOS and NVDA on Windows is scheduled next. We’ll list it here once it’s done.

For the app, we reviewed the source code on September 24, 2026. Apple’s automated accessibility audit runs in our UI tests.

Tested environments

  • Chromium 148 and WebKit 26.4 (the engine behind Safari), run by Playwright 1.60 on macOS 27, September 24, 2026.

We haven’t yet tested with a screen reader or on an iPhone for this release.

Known limitations

What’s affectedImpactWorkaroundStatus
Website and link pages: screen readers We haven’t yet tested these pages with VoiceOver or NVDA, so problems only a screen reader would reveal may remain. If anything doesn’t work, email us and we’ll help you finish the task. Testing scheduled after this release.
App: basic calculator text size The basic calculator stops growing text at the xLarge Dynamic Type size, and long results shrink to fit, down to about a third of their size. Use iOS Zoom, or the Tip and Discount calculators, which scale fully. Fix planned: a calculator layout for accessibility text sizes.
App: selected receipts and calculator keys VoiceOver doesn’t say which receipts are selected when you select several, or which calculator operation (such as ×) is active. You could share the wrong receipts. None yet. If you use VoiceOver, email us and we’ll help you share the right receipts. Fix planned: expose the selected state to VoiceOver.
App: sign-in form The email and password fields show their names only as placeholder text, which disappears as you type, and sign-in errors appear on screen without being announced. VoiceOver still reads each field’s name. If sign-in fails, move through the screen to find the error message. Fix planned: visible labels and announced errors.
App: motion A few short transitions (for example, in receipts, splits and the calculator) still animate when Reduce Motion is on. None needed for most people; tell us if one causes discomfort. Fix planned: all animations follow Reduce Motion.
App: Increase Contrast, Bold Text and Reduce Transparency The app doesn’t yet change its colors, text weight or translucent surfaces for these iOS settings. None yet. Under review.
