Our commitment: WindowsHelper is committed to being usable by everyone, including people with low vision, dyslexia, and motor and hearing differences. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we keep improving.
On this website
Every page on this site has a built-in accessibility panel. Open it with the accessibility button in the bottom-left corner of the screen, then turn on whatever helps you:
- Larger text — scale up the type across the whole page.
- High-contrast mode — stronger contrast between text and background.
- Reduce motion — calms animations and transitions. This also follows your device's "reduced motion" setting automatically.
- Readable font — a dyslexia-friendly typeface for easier reading.
- Full keyboard navigation — reach every control with the keyboard, with a clearly visible focus outline and a "skip to main content" link.
- Screen-reader labels — all controls carry accessible names so screen readers can announce them.
In the apps
Accessibility extends beyond the website:
- The phone app includes a dedicated set of accessibility fixes and guides for making Windows easier to see, hear, and operate.
- The product is localized into 75 languages, so you can use it in the language you are most comfortable with.
Standards
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. This is an ongoing goal rather than a certification — we test and improve continuously, and there may be areas we have not fully addressed yet. If you run into a barrier, we want to hear about it.
Feedback
If any part of WindowsHelper is difficult to use, or you encounter an accessibility barrier, please let us know so we can fix it:
Please include the page or screen, the device and browser you were using, and what you were trying to do. We take accessibility feedback seriously and will do our best to respond promptly.
