    Accessibility

    Built to be used by everyone

    THOHT turns speech into text so the keyboard stops being a barrier. Many of the people who rely on it are neurodivergent or have a disability — so accessibility isn't a feature we bolt on, it's the reason the app exists.

    Our commitment

    Talking is roughly 3× faster than typing, and for a lot of people it's also far less effortful. For someone with ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, RSI, or a motor disability, the gap between “thought” and “text on the screen” can be exhausting. THOHT exists to close that gap, privately and on-device.

    We hold ourselves to that standard on this website too. We're a two-person team and we self-assess against the international accessibility standard rather than buying a badge — and we'd genuinely rather hear that something is broken than have it stay broken.

    Conformance status

    We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA (the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines from the W3C, and the technical baseline behind the European Accessibility Act and EN 301 549). This is a self-assessment, last reviewed 11 June 2026. We consider the site largely conformant and are actively closing the remaining gaps.

    What's in place today:

    • A “skip to main content” link and a logical, keyboard-navigable tab order.
    • Semantic landmarks (header, main, navigation, footer) and a single, correct heading order on every page.
    • Visible focus indicators, real buttons and links (no fake clickable boxes).
    • Meaningful text alternatives for images and icons; decorative graphics hidden from screen readers.
    • Respect for your “Reduce Motion” system setting — the intro animation and the demo video stop auto-playing when you've asked your device to calm motion down.
    • A light/dark theme toggle to reduce glare and visual strain.
    • Dyslexia-friendly typography: a rounded humanist typeface, generous line spacing, and left-aligned (never justified) text.

    Designed with neurodivergent minds in mind

    Beyond ticking standard checkboxes, we try to keep the experience low-friction for ADHD, autistic, and dyslexic visitors: predictable navigation that doesn't move under you, plain language over jargon, short paragraphs, no flashing content, and no motion you didn't ask for. The rainbow infinity above is the neurodiversity movement's own symbol — we use it because the app is genuinely built for this community, not as decoration.

    Known limitations

    • A few brand-coloured accents and headings are still being verified for colour-contrast across both themes; where we weren't certain, we've already switched to higher-contrast treatments.
    • The iPhone app is in beta and its accessibility support is still maturing alongside the Mac app.

    If any of this blocks you, tell us — it moves to the top of the list.

    Tell us what we missed

    Found a barrier, or need this page (or anything on the site) in a different format? Email info@thoht.app. We read every message and aim to reply within a few business days.

    Try THOHT free on Mac and iPhone

    Local dictation is free forever, with no usage caps. Pro is $4.99/month (US) after a 7-day free trial — one Universal Purchase covers both Mac and iPhone.

    Accessibility program

    If typing is impossible, Pro is on us.

    If a motor disability, chronic pain, RSI, low vision, a temporary injury, or anything else makes typing impossible or impractical, we'll send you a free THOHT Pro license.

    No invasive verification

    We don't ask for medical specifics, screenshots of conditions, or a portal login. A short message is enough — we only need to know you'd genuinely benefit.

    12 months, easy renewal

    Licenses are issued in 12-month windows. Reach out when yours is about to lapse and we'll send a fresh one. No re-application, no questions.

    Hands-free out of the box

    Voice activation, hands-free voice commands (polish, stop, cancel), and full keyboard avoidance. Pair with macOS Voice Control for a fully no-touch setup.

    How to apply: email us and tell us a little about your situation. Attach whatever you have on hand — a doctor's letter, a disability ID, a benefits or accommodation document, or just a paragraph in your own words. We reply within a couple of working days with a license valid for 12 months.
