Audio and text together
In Free text, turn voice on, repeat and spell the current word with Enter, and choose a voice and speech speed in Settings. Blind mode hides the target only while speech is working. Alphabet lessons have separate Read Aloud and Repeat key controls.
Display and pacing
Free text Settings offers a font, text size from 10 to 50 px (initially 22 px), practice-board colours with a contrast indicator, and keyboard visibility. Use a word target for no countdown and adjust Celebration animation separately. Alphabet lessons have their own Settings → Font choices.
Keyboard navigation and feedback
Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move between controls. In Free text, Return to typing closes Settings; Continue typing restores exercise focus without resetting progress. In Shortcut Trainer, Tab leaves the task field. These controls do not establish complete screen-reader compatibility.
Verification status
End-to-end testing with VoiceOver, NVDA and JAWS, high zoom and keyboard-only navigation is still outstanding. AlphaType does not yet claim verified full accessibility for visually impaired learners. Speech also depends on the browser and available system voices.
