At Mindlet, accessibility is not a box to tick: it is the reason the product exists. One of us is dyslexic, and that constraint has served as the product’s compass.
This page says where we really stand, including what we have not done yet.
Our position under the law
We would rather be clear on this point, because many sites publish accessibility statements that suggest obligations which do not apply to them.
Mindlet is currently subject to neither of the two French regulations on digital accessibility:
- article 47 of law no. 2005-102 of 11 February 2005 applies to private companies only from 250 million euros of annual turnover (article 2 of decree no. 2019-768);
- the European Accessibility Act (EAA), applicable since 28 June 2025 and transposed into article L412-13 of the French Consumer Code, exempts companies with fewer than ten people whose annual turnover or balance sheet does not exceed two million euros.
We therefore publish this page voluntarily. It is not a statement of compliance within the meaning of the RGAA, and we do not claim it is one.
Compliance status: non-compliant
Under RGAA 4.1.2, the French accessibility framework, a site is declared “non-compliant” when no valid audit makes it possible to measure compliance with the criteria, or when fewer than half of them are met.
No formal accessibility audit has been carried out to date, either on the mindlet.app website or on the application. Mindlet is therefore non-compliant within the meaning of the RGAA.
We deliberately publish no percentage of criteria met: announcing a rate with no audit behind it would be worthless, and we prefer an honest page to a reassuring one.
This does not mean nothing has been done: the rest of this page describes what exists. It means nothing has yet been measured by a third party, using a recognised method.
What already exists
The mindlet.app website and the Mindlet application each have their own
settings. They are similar but not identical, so they are described
separately below. The application is in French: its labels are quoted as they
appear, with a translation.
On the mindlet.app website
An accessibility button is present on every page of the website, without an account and at no extra cost. It opens a panel that lets you, among other things:
- choose one of six overall profiles: Standard, Dyslexia, Focus, Eye strain, Low vision, Sensory;
- switch the website display between a light and a dark theme;
- choose the interface font (Standard or OpenDyslexic), increase contrast and adjust the interface size from 80 to 150%;
- reduce animations and soften colours;
- apply a colour blindness simulation filter (protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, achromatopsia): it shows the page as it may be perceived, it does not correct it;
- in reading areas, set the font (Nunito, Lexend, Atkinson, OpenDyslexic), the text size (14 to 28 px), line height, letter and word spacing, alignment, width and reading theme;
- turn on reading aids (syllable segmentation, alternating typography, syllable underlining, silent letters, coloured phonemes), focus aids (paragraph dimming, line highlighting, reading ruler, progress bar) and highlighting of proper nouns, dates and numbers, and long words.
These preferences are stored in your browser and applied before the page is first displayed, to avoid the flicker that many accessibility solutions produce.
In the Mindlet application
The settings are in Réglages (Settings), card « Accessibilité et confort » (Accessibility and comfort). They are available at no extra cost, including when you choose « Essayer sans compte » (Try without an account). They are offered, never imposed: nothing changes until you choose something.
- Profiles: the same six overall profiles, your personal profiles, and those an institution may offer you, which you remain free to accept. A « Test de confort » (Comfort test) compares settings two by two and suggests the ones that read best for you.
- Display: interface font (Standard or OpenDyslexic), increased contrast, interface size from 90 to 140%, reduced animations, softened colours. The application has no dark theme for the whole interface: only the reading themes offer one.
- Reading: Nunito, Lexend, Atkinson and OpenDyslexic fonts, text size from 12 to 32 px, reading theme (Light, Sepia, Dark, OLED, High contrast), line height, letter and word spacing, alignment, maximum text width.
- Reading aids: syllable segmentation, alternating typography, syllable underlining, silent letters, easily confused letters (b/d, p/q…), coloured phonemes. Segmentation and silent letters only work in French.
- Focus: dimming of inactive paragraphs, highlighting of the line being read, reading ruler, paragraph-by-paragraph mode, position in the page, highlighting of proper nouns, dates and numbers, and long words.
- Colour blindness: a correction of colours, not a simulation. The application strengthens the colours you confuse, for seven forms: deuteranomaly, deuteranopia, protanomaly, protanopia, tritanomaly, tritanopia, achromatopsia.
- Listening: during review, the card can be read aloud.
What we know we do not handle yet
Out of honesty, and because it is what will be useful to you:
- compatibility with screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS) has not been tested systematically;
- full keyboard navigation has not been checked exhaustively across all flows;
- content generated by artificial intelligence from your documents has no accessibility guarantee: its structure depends partly on the original document;
- the content you import (PDFs, videos, audio) stays as you provide it, and we cannot make it accessible on your behalf;
- some animations on the home page, although they can be turned off, have not been audited against the RGAA motion criteria.
Report an accessibility problem
If something in Mindlet prevents you from accessing content or a feature, tell us. It is the most useful feedback we can receive.
- By email: support@mindlet.app, stating if possible the page concerned, the device and the assistive technology used.
- By post: SAS MINDLET, Hameau de Cateraggio, Lot Rumana, Entrée Lot 1, 20270 Aléria, France.
We undertake to acknowledge receipt within 5 working days and to tell you whether and when a fix is planned. When a barrier can be worked around, we offer you an alternative while the fix is pending.
Remedies
This procedure is to be used in the following case: you have reported to the site manager an accessibility defect that prevents you from accessing content or one of the services, and you have not received a satisfactory response.
- Write a message to the Défenseur des droits (the French rights ombudsman)
- Contact the Défenseur des droits delegate near you
- Send a letter by post (free of charge, no stamp needed): Défenseur des droits, Libre réponse 71120, 75342 Paris CEDEX 07
Our roadmap
What we commit to doing, with no contractual date but in this order:
- carry out an RGAA 4.1.2 audit of the main flows: sign-up, importing a document, review session;
- systematically test keyboard navigation and screen readers;
- publish the results of that audit on this page, compliance rate included, whatever it is;
- fix first what completely blocks a use, before what hinders it.
