Accessibility Statement

Prepared 15 July 2026 · Last reviewed 30 September 2026

This statement covers the ProMeasure app for iPhone and Mac and this website (promeasure.co.uk), both made by Quantum Encoding Ltd.

Our target

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, applied to the app's native interface as described in the W3C's guidance on applying WCAG to mobile apps, using Apple's accessibility technologies (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Increase Contrast, Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency).

How accessible the app is today

ProMeasure is partially conformant: the quoting, invoicing, tax and settings screens have been reviewed for VoiceOver and large text sizes, and we are closing the gaps listed below. Partially conformant means some parts of the app do not yet fully meet the standard.

What works

• VoiceOver names and roles. Money fields (including the till-style amount entry) say what they are for, such as “Unit price” or “Box 6”, read the amount as currency, and explain how digits are entered. Icon-only buttons in the areas we have reviewed have spoken names, and decorative images are hidden from VoiceOver.
• Selections are announced. Filter chips, export choices and checklists say whether they are selected or done.
• Results and errors are spoken. Filing results and errors from HMRC (Making Tax Digital and VAT returns), payment and pay-link confirmations, sign-in and account-deletion errors are announced to VoiceOver when they appear.
• Colour contrast. Status colours (red, green, orange) and secondary text in the app's own screens use tuned colours that measure at least 4.5:1 against the app's light and dark backgrounds. The quote editor's floating panels keep a dark backing so their text stays readable over the invoice page.
• Larger text. Text uses Dynamic Type; the till total, keypad readout and tax headline figures grow with your text size, and the quote line-item fields stack vertically at the largest sizes rather than cutting off digits.
• Target sizes. Small controls we found (setup and tour “Skip” buttons, till quantity steppers, checklist ticks, panel close buttons) are at least 44 by 44 points.
• Alternatives to gestures. Multi-select in the quotes ledger has a Select button as well as long-press; photos can be zoomed with buttons as well as pinch; the 3D walk-through has tap-to-step and turn buttons as well as the joystick and drag; rows that open on tap expose the same action to VoiceOver.
• Motion. The blinking recording indicator stays steady when Reduce Motion is on. While the capture tour is showing, VoiceOver stays inside the tour card.
• Orientation. The iPhone app works in portrait and landscape.

Known limitations

• Some shared components from our design kit still use the system grey for tile subtitles (for example on the Home and Finances tiles) and fixed two-line subtitles that can cut off at the largest text sizes. We are fixing these in the shared kit.
• Section headers and footers in settings-style forms use Apple's standard grey, which measures just under 4.5:1 on some backgrounds.
• The floor-plan editor and 3D scan viewer are visual tools. Room size, ceiling height and corner count are shown as text beside them, and scan reports are available as PDFs, but the drawing itself has no full text description yet, and dragging walls or corners has no button alternative yet.
• The AR scanning and live-measurement screens rely on the camera and on aiming at surfaces, and do not offer a screen-reader-only workflow. Their on-screen labels sit on semi-transparent backings, so contrast depends on what the camera sees. Measurements they produce are fully accessible afterwards as text.
• Invoice and quote PDFs are shown as a live preview. VoiceOver can read the text, but the PDF has no tagged headings or reading order yet.
• Zoomed-in photos can only be moved around by dragging.
• Not every screen has been through the same review. Areas outside quoting, invoicing, the till, taxes and settings may still have unlabelled icons or unannounced messages.

How we test

The app has an automated UI test that runs Apple's accessibility audit on the main screens (sign-in, setup, home, the capture screen, finances, the quote editor and invoice preview, the quotes ledger, the till, taxes, Making Tax Digital, VAT returns, settings, legal links and account deletion). We run it at the default text size, at the largest accessibility text size and in dark mode. We also review the code against WCAG 2.2. A full hand test with VoiceOver on iPhone is planned before launch, and this statement will be updated with what it finds.
