## **Web** Accessibility Tools and Features

### Differentiate Without Color in the Available Column

This feature uses increased color contrast and borders in the Available column to differentiate between funded, underfunded, and overspent categories.

### How to Enable Differentiate Without Color in the Available Column

1.  From the web app, click the name of your plan (located at the top of the left sidebar).
    
2.  Click _Display Options_.
    
3.  Under the Available Balance Style section, click _Differentiate Without Color_.
    
4.  Click _Apply_.
    

### Browser Zoom

YNAB on the web supports the ability to use your browser settings to zoom in (up to 200%). With this you can increase the font size as well as increasing the size of things like images, graphics, controls, layout, embedded elements, etc. by zooming in (using _Cmd +_ or _Ctrl +)_ and decrease by zooming out (using  _Cmd -_ or _Ctrl -_).

### Keyboard Shortcuts

*   The _tab_ key will navigate through every interactive element on the plan page. To navigate through just the Assigned field, you can use the Up + Down arrow keys.
    
*   Check out our [Keyboard Shortcuts](https://support.ynab.com/en_us/keyboard-shortcuts-Skw9Xp9A9) article for the full range of navigation options!
    

### Screen Readers

YNAB works well with VoiceOver on Mac and JAWS on Windows. We **don't** recommend using browser-based screen readers that don't fully support ARIA guidelines and features.

We support jumping to the plan table via the "jump to next table" hotkey, as well as navigating within the table using hotkeys. (These things may operate differently based on which screen reader you're using.)

We are continuously working to make improvements to how YNAB interacts with screen readers like VoiceOver (on Mac) and JAWS (on Windows). Some work needs to be done to make sure updates are more universally effective with all screen readers. If you encounter a problem while using a screen reader, please email us at [accessibility@ynab.com](mailto:accessibility@ynab.com), and we'll be sure to get that feedback to the right team!

## **iOS** Accessibility Tools and Features

### Differentiate Without Color on iOS

If you’re using an iOS device, we now support the **Differentiate without Color** option! If you have that setting enabled, your category balances will have a different border, depending on whether they’re fully funded, underfunded, or overspent.

### How to Enable the Differentiate Without Color Option

1.  Tap the _Home_ tab.
    
2.  Tap the three dots icon at the top of the screen.
    
3.  Tap _Settings & Privacy_.
    
4.  Tap _Display Options_.
    
5.  Tap _Differentiate Without Color_.
    
6.  Tap the checkmark at the top of the screen.
    

### Increase Contrast on iOS

YNAB will be affected when you choose the Increase Contrast option on your iOS device. 

### How to Enable Increase Contrast on iOS

1.  To turn on that setting, go to _Settings_ on your device. 
    
2.  Select _Accessibility_. 
    
3.  Select _Display & Text Size._ 
    
4.  Toggle the _Increase Contrast_ option_._ 
    

#### Enable iOS Accessibility Settings in YNAB Only

Review [this Apple support article](https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/customize-per-app-visual-settings-iph1f48544ab/17.0/ios/17.0) if you'd like to increase contrast only when using YNAB (and not when using other iOS apps).

### Global Font Scale Settings on iOS

YNAB supports Dynamic Type on iOS. If you enable this on your iOS device, YNAB will support these larger fonts up to a certain size. 

### How to Change the Font Size on Your iOS Device

1.  Go to _Settings_ on your device. 
    
2.  Select _Accessibility._ 
    
3.  Select _Display & Text Size._ 
    
4.  Select _Larger Text._ 
    
5.  Use the slider to choose your desired font size. 
    

You can toggle on larger accessibility sizes to increase font size even more, but these larger sizes may not be supported. 

#### Rather not change the font size for every app on your iOS device?

You can adjust the font size for YNAB alone if you don't want to change your global iOS settings. This can be helpful if you find the font size in YNAB a bit smaller than you'd prefer. Here's how:

1.  Go to _Settings_ on your device.
    
2.  Select _Accessibility_.
    
3.  Select _Per-App Settings_.
    
4.  Tap _Add App_.
    
5.  Search for and select YNAB.
    
6.  Select _Larger Text_.
    
7.  Use the slider to adjust.
    

### Screen Readers

YNAB works well with VoiceOver on iOS. We **don't** recommend using browser-based screen readers that don't fully support ARIA guidelines and features.

We are continuously working to make improvements to how YNAB interacts with screen readers like VoiceOver. Some work needs to be done to make sure updates are more universally effective with all screen readers. If you encounter a problem while using a screen reader, please email us at [accessibility@ynab.com](mailto:accessibility@ynab.com), and we'll be sure to get that feedback to the right team!

We are continuously working to make improvements to how YNAB interacts with screen readers like TalkBack.
