Accessibility
Wispr Tasks is built so that anyone can capture a task the moment it comes to them and trust the day that comes back. This page says plainly which iOS accessibility settings we honor, what we ship inside the app, and how to flag something that isn't working the way it should.
What we honor from iOS
When you change any of these in Settings → Accessibility on your iPhone, Wispr Tasks follows along.
VoiceOver. Every interactive control has a spoken label. Lists of tasks are read in order; day groups (Morning, Afternoon, Evening) announce themselves before each section.
Voice Control. You can navigate and capture by voice — tap commands like "tap microphone", "show today", or "delete that" work against the same on-screen controls.
Larger Text. We respect your Dynamic Type preference and scale every screen up to the largest reading size iOS offers, without breaking layout.
Dark Interface. A dark color scheme follows the system setting. Wispr doesn't force a light theme, and both themes are tuned to keep contrast consistent.
Differentiate Without Color. Task status (overdue, completed, scheduled) is shown with text and shape in addition to color, so nothing depends on seeing the difference.
Sufficient Contrast. The theme was designed to clear WCAG AA contrast for normal text and large text. Increase Contrast from iOS tightens it further.
Reduced Motion. Page transitions, the listening animation, and the streak celebration all dial back when Reduce Motion is on. Nothing essential is locked behind motion.
What's inside the app
Beyond system controls, Wispr Tasks has its own Settings → Accessibility page. These add up on top of what iOS gives you:
Text size. Five preset scales between 86% and 126% that adjust spacing and line height together — useful when the system size doesn't match your screen.
High contrast. A separate contrast boost for the in-app palette, on top of system contrast.
Bold text. Heavier weights for headings and list rows.
Color-blind-safe palette. A re-tuned task category palette that distinguishes Health, Work, Personal, Errands, and Travel without relying on the standard red / green split.
Dyslexia-friendly font. Swaps the system font for a variant with clearer letter shapes and wider tracking — turned on here, leaves your other apps alone.
Reduce motion. Stops the listening-indicator shimmer and the day-plan slide transitions.
Reduce transparency. Solid backgrounds instead of blurred surfaces where the design uses them.
Haptics. Toggle vibration cues for confirmations and completions.
Voice capture and accessibility
Voice capture is the center of the app, so it's worth being specific. The microphone is a single, clearly labelled button that announces its current state ("Listening", "Transcribing", "Saved") through VoiceOver. Captured tasks appear in a review sheet so you can confirm or correct the date, time, and category before they're saved — useful when transcription isn't perfect.
If you can't speak to the phone, you can type the task manually from the same sheet. Every path lands in the same Inbox.
Captions and audio descriptions
Wispr Tasks does not include video or audio-only content that would require captions, transcripts of meaningful audio, or audio descriptions in a video player. The only audio the app emits is your own voice recordings — which are private to your account and not played back as part of normal use.
Known limits and what we won't fix here
iOS-level controls (VoiceOver rotor actions, AssistiveTouch, Switch Control, full keyboard navigation) work everywhere they apply. Two areas are still in progress:
Custom rotor actions. Some list screens expose a small "jump to today" rotor hint; deeper rotor shortcuts across the app are still on the roadmap.
Braille labels on the day chart. The day view's stacked group bars read as a count under VoiceOver but don't yet describe which groups they cover. Coming in a near update.
Tell us something isn't working
If a screen or control is hard to use with the accessibility tools you rely on, please tell us — including which iOS version, which setting is on, and what you expected to happen. The fastest route is email: accessibility@wisprtasks.xyz — Off The Shelf Studio reads everything sent here.
