BitePods should work for everyone
We want anyone to be able to find a moment and share it, however they use the web. This page says what works today, what doesn't yet, and how to tell us when something gets in your way.
What works today
Keyboard first
Every button and link can be reached with Tab, with a clear blue ring on the one in focus.
Screen readers
Pages use real headings and labels, and say out loud when a link is copied or a list changes.
Reduced motion
Turn on reduced motion on your device and the animations stop.
Read, not just listen
When a show publishes a transcript, its words appear in the editor to search and mark by.
No passwords
Signing in is optional, with a code by email or a passkey.
Zoom and phones
Pages fit a phone screen and larger text without scrolling sideways.
- A Skip to the app link is the first thing Tab reaches.
- Every page marks its header, its main part and its footer, so a screen reader can jump between them.
- When a new screen opens, focus moves to its heading, so a screen reader starts at the top.
- The clip's track is a slider: arrow keys move each end, and its value is read out as a time.
- The share sheet keeps focus inside it while open, and Escape closes it.
- Decorative pictures are hidden from screen readers.
Keyboard shortcuts
The editor has shortcuts for play, start, end and copy. They switch off while you are typing in a box. The full list is on Mark the moment.
Known limits
- Most podcasts don't publish a transcript (about five in six), so their bites are audio only.
- Bites have no captions. BitePods shares the moment as published and adds nothing to it.
- YouTube bites play in YouTube's own player, which YouTube controls.
- Story and feed pictures are images. The link they carry is also copied as text.
- There is no dark mode yet.
Where we stand
BitePods hasn't had a formal accessibility audit. We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA, and we fix problems as we find them or as you tell us about them.
Tell us about a problem
If something on BitePods is hard or impossible to use, please use the contact form. Say which page and what got in the way, and we'll reply by email.
