Accessibility

Our aim

We want everyone preparing for the theory test to be able to use Zee Theory Center, whatever their needs. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA in both the app and this website, and we test with screen readers, large text, small screens and keyboard-only use.

In the app

• Screen readers. The app works with VoiceOver on iPhone and iPad and TalkBack on Android. Buttons and controls have spoken labels.
• Question pictures are described. Every picture in a question has a spoken description of what can be seen, written so it doesn’t give the answer away.
• Listen instead of reading. Any question and its answers can be read aloud, and Voice Learning Mode reads each new question automatically and tells you whether you were right.
• Choose the speech speed. Questions can be read slower or faster than normal.
• Answer by voice. Say the answer, or just its letter.
• Easier reading. An option adds more space between letters, words and lines, which many people with dyslexia find easier to read.
• Background tint. A choice of soft colours (cream, blue, green, pink or yellow) over every screen, like a coloured overlay sheet.
• Large text. The app follows your phone’s text size. Screens are tested at double text size on small phones.
• Light and dark mode, with text colours chosen for good contrast in both.
• No pressure where you don’t want it. Practice by topic has no time limit.
• Welsh. The app can be used in Welsh (beta), and this statement is also available in Welsh.

See the how-to guides on voice and accessibility for step-by-step help.

On this website

• Every page can be used with a keyboard, and there’s a “Skip to content” link at the top.
• Pages use headings in order, so screen reader users can move around them easily.
• Images have text alternatives, and decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
• The site follows your device’s dark mode and reduced-motion settings, and works when zoomed to 200%.

What doesn’t work well yet

We’d rather be clear about these than leave you to find them:

• Hazard perception relies on watching a scene and reacting to it, so it can’t be done with a screen reader alone. The real test works the same way.
• Extra time. Timed mock tests use the standard 57 minutes. If you’ll have extra time in the real test, practise by topic, which has no time limit.
• Some picture scenes in the hazard practice are made from symbols rather than video, and are described in words for screen readers rather than shown in detail.
• Welsh. In Welsh, the questions, study notes, Highway Code, voice and most of this website are still in English, and the Welsh translation hasn’t yet been checked by a fluent speaker.

Support in the real test

The DVSA offers help in the theory test itself, such as voiceover, extra time, a reader and British Sign Language. Our guide Theory test support for dyslexia and other needs explains what’s available and how to ask for it.

This statement was prepared in October 2026 and is reviewed whenever the app changes.
