Accessibility Statement
Ovvia is built so that anyone can plan a trip with it, including people with disabilities, in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian and English. This statement lists what has been adapted, what has not yet, and whom to contact.
The standard
The app and the ovvia.app site are built to meet WCAG 2.1 level AA, the basis of Israeli Standard IS 5568 (regulation 35 of the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility) Regulations, 2013).
What has been adapted
- Full keyboard navigation: Tab between controls, Enter or Space to activate, Esc to close dialogs; a "Skip to content" link at the top of the page.
- A visible focus indicator; a closed dialog returns focus to where it was opened from.
- Screen readers: a label for every field and button, ordered headings, page landmarks, and announced status messages (aria-live).
- Text contrast of at least 4.5:1, verified by an automated audit of every screen (September 2026).
- Text enlargement up to 200% and narrow screens without horizontal scrolling.
- Full directionality: Hebrew and Arabic right-to-left, English and Russian left-to-right.
- Animations switch off when "reduce motion" is enabled in the operating system.
- No time limits and no flashing content.
What is not yet fully accessible
- The map (TomTom / MapLibre) is visual content. Driving and transit routes are also shown as text.
- Outbound links (Booking.com, Kayak, Rome2Rio, Stripe and others) lead to sites outside our control; accessibility there is their operators' responsibility.
- AI-generated text (itineraries, answers) does not always carry a full heading structure.
How we tested
An automated audit (axe-core, WCAG 2.1 AA) in September 2026 of every app screen and the landing page, in all four languages, plus a keyboard pass. Findings are fixed as part of ongoing development, the audit is repeated before every major change, and this statement is updated after every audit.
