Accessibility

Using Dashport

Dashport connects existing APIs to dashboards made from predefined interface components. Accessibility depends on the installed app version, the components in a Dashport and the labels and data supplied by its owner.

We are improving screen-reader labels, text resizing, contrast, dark appearance and reduced motion. This page does not certify that every feature or customer-created dashboard meets every accessibility criterion. App Store accessibility labels should reflect the features verified in the submitted version.

Charts and data

Use “Show data” beneath a chart to read its labels and values as a list. This provides a text alternative to interpreting the plotted line or bars. Workspace owners should use meaningful chart titles and data labels and must not communicate important information through color alone.

iPhone and iPad settings

Apple accessibility settings are available in Settings → Accessibility. Relevant settings include VoiceOver, Voice Control, larger text and Reduce Motion. Some interactions and layouts may still need improvement; please report any task you cannot complete with your preferred settings.

Known limitations

Custom API content may have incomplete labels or descriptions. Dense tables, dashboard editing and very large text can require additional scrolling or alternative controls. Compatibility with VoiceOver and Voice Control must be assessed across the complete task, not just individual buttons.

The accessible introduction is included in app version 0.1.1, build 4 and later. Open Account → How does Dashport work? → Captioned and audio-described video. English captions, a written transcript and an English audio-described version are provided. The described version adds narration of visual actions during extended pauses. Captions and audio description can be switched in the player; changing the audio version restarts the video.

On iPhone and iPad, the player reads the system caption and audio-description preferences when opened and when returning to the app, unless you have changed that option in the player. Playback starts only when requested. These media features cover the supplied introduction, not arbitrary third-party media.

Report an accessibility issue

Email info@dashport.org. Include your device, iOS or iPadOS version, Dashport version, accessibility settings and the task you were trying to complete. Please do not send passwords, tokens or private business data.

If a particular interaction is inaccessible, describe the result you need so we can help find an alternative and investigate a fix.
