Accessibility

Pick Ya Fit was built for blind and low-vision people first, and everyone else gets the benefit. Accessibility isn't a settings page we added at the end. It's how the app was designed: every feature can be used by voice, and nothing important is shown only with color or only on screen.

Talk to it

• "Hey Vanni." While the app is open, say "Hey Vanni" and give a command. You can also tap the microphone.
• Every screen answers "What can I do?" Vanni tells you exactly what works on that screen. "Go back" works everywhere.
• Go anywhere by name. "Open Wardrobe", "Open Outfit Builder", "Open Games".
• Ask for what you want. "What should I wear to work?" "Something blue." "No blazers today." Then "next look", "repeat", "why does this work?", "lock the shoes" or "swap the top".
• Your words, your voice. Choose Vanni's voice, turn narration on or off, and pick your own phrase for ending a conversation.
• The wake word stays on your phone. "Hey Vanni" is detected on the device, and your speech is turned into text by your phone. We don't record or store audio.

Every color, spoken

• Every color on a piece is named, main color first: "white, grey and neon yellow sneakers", not just "white sneakers". A logo or trim counts.
• Colors are always words, written and spoken. Nothing depends on telling two swatches apart.
• Honest color checks. When you photograph a piece, the app corrects for the light and tells you how sure it is: "I'm confident on the color", or "you may want to retake it".
• No clashes from the app. Vanni only suggests looks that follow real color techniques. If you choose a piece that clashes, Vanni lets you know and leaves the choice to you.

Your closet, out loud

• Add a piece by voice. "Take photo", "next", "skip", "save it". Vanni reads back what it found: the type, every color, and the pattern.
• Where it lives. Tag where each piece is kept — bedroom closet, top shelf — and every outfit tells you where to go get each piece.
• Your wardrobe by voice. "How many pieces do I have?", "List my tops", "Open number 3" or "Open the navy blazer".
• What's This? Snap a photo of any piece, in a store or out of the laundry, and Vanni tells you what it is, every color and the pattern, and whether it's one of yours and where you keep it. Nothing is saved. Say "What's this?" to open it.
• Hear any piece. Open a piece and Vanni reads its colors, size, where it is, and whether it's resting after a recent wear.
• Spelling, confirmed. When you spell something out loud, Vanni checks each letter the radio way: "B, like Bravo?"
• Outfits explained. Each look comes with what you're wearing, which colors are doing the work, and why the pieces go together.

Seeing it your way

• Dark by default, with a light mode if you prefer it.
• High contrast mode: Settings → High Contrast.
• Subtitles show everything Vanni says as text: Settings → Subtitles.
• Reduced motion turns off sliding and flying animations: Settings → Reduced Motion.
• Readable type. This site uses Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed for low-vision readers.

Screen readers

Pick Ya Fit is built to work with VoiceOver on iPhone and TalkBack on Android. When a screen reader is on, Vanni stops listening all the time, so your screen reader always works normally and the two voices never talk over each other.

• Talk to Vanni button. Whenever VoiceOver or TalkBack is on, a Talk to Vanni button is on every screen, and it's the first thing your screen reader reads. Double-tap it, Vanni says "I'm listening", the phone buzzes when the microphone is ready, and Vanni hears one request. Double-tap it again to stop early.
• Put it where you want it. Move the button to any corner with your screen reader's actions ("Move to top left") or in Settings → Voice Commands.
• Magic Tap on iPhone. VoiceOver users can also double-tap with two fingers anywhere to talk to Vanni.
• Your voice or hers. In Settings → Voice Commands, choose whether Vanni answers in her own voice or your screen reader reads her answers, at your own speed.
• Prefer "Hey Vanni"? You can keep Vanni listening all the time with a screen reader on, in Settings → Voice Commands.
• No gestures required. Games that use swipes also have buttons and screen reader actions.

We're still testing every screen with screen readers. If something doesn't read correctly, we want to know.
