Accessibility

Our aim

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA in the app and on this website, and to follow Apple's and Google's accessibility guidelines.

What Nura supports

• VoiceOver on iPhone and iPad, and TalkBack on Android. Buttons and images have labels, and changes such as the tasbih count are read out.
• Arabic Quran, dua, hadith and adhkar text is marked as Arabic, so your screen reader reads it in an Arabic voice.
• Large text. The app follows your device's text size, up to the largest accessibility sizes.
• Colour and contrast. Text meets at least 4.5:1 contrast in light and dark mode, prayer times 7:1. Nothing is shown by colour alone.
• Reduce Motion. Screens and sheets fade instead of sliding.
• Qibla. Spoken guidance says turn left or turn right, and when you face the Qibla, with a vibration for each.
• Tasbih. The count is read out after every tap or every 10th tap, as you choose, with a stronger vibration at the target.
• Maps. Every mosque and halal place on the map is also in the list.
• Adhan and reminders always show text, with vibration if you choose, so they never rely on sound alone.
• Home-screen widgets have labels for VoiceOver and TalkBack.
• This website works with a keyboard alone, has a skip link, and is checked with axe-core.

Known limits

• The Qibla compass needs the phone's compass sensor. Without one, the app gives the direction in degrees from North.
• A dua shared as a picture has no text inside it for the person who receives it. Use "Share as text" to send the words.
• The pages for businesses on this website are in English only.
• The Arabic and Urdu translations are still being reviewed by native speakers.
• We have not yet tested Nura with disabled users. We will before launch, and will update this page.
