Browsers and accessibility
Elie runs in a web browser. This page records what it needs from yours, and which accessibility features are in the product now.
Your browser
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| A current major browser | Use a recent version of a mainstream browser on a desktop or laptop, and keep it up to date. Elie publishes no minimum version. |
| JavaScript enabled | The interface is a JavaScript application. With scripts blocked, pages will not work. |
| Cookies allowed | Signing in sets a session cookie. Block it and you cannot stay signed in. |
Two features rely on a connection that stays open and streams updates, so they are the first to misbehave on an old browser or behind a proxy that buffers responses: answers that appear word by word in a knowledge base chat, and the live status on an open Voice IntELIEgence conversation.
Accessibility
Everything below is in the product today. Elie makes no formal conformance claim, so read this as what you can rely on, not as a standard it has been audited against.
| Feature | What you get |
|---|---|
| Keyboard-operable uploads | Every upload area opens its file picker from the keyboard: focus the drop zone or its file button and press Enter or Space. |
| Keyboard-operable lists and pickers | Enter selects the highlighted option; Escape closes the list. |
| Enter to submit a side panel | In an add or edit side panel, Enter in a field runs the panel's main action. |
| Named icon buttons | Icon-only buttons, such as Remove, Enable and Resend, carry an accessible name, and most show it as a tooltip too. |
| Visible focus | Focus outlines are styled rather than suppressed. |
| Reasons you can reach | Where a button is greyed out with an explanation, the explanation is reachable by keyboard, not by hover alone. |
| Error detail on status badges | A Voice IntELIEgence Exception or Partially completed badge can take keyboard focus, and its reason is part of what a screen reader announces. |
| Decorative marks hidden | Coloured status dots and icons that repeat a word are skipped by screen readers; the word next to them carries the meaning. |
Two gaps to know about. The workspace has no skip-to-content link, and it honours a reduced-motion setting only in a few places, so most animations still play.
Reporting a barrier
Tell your workspace administrator, and include the page address, your browser and its version, and what you expected to happen. Say whether you were using a keyboard, a screen reader or a magnifier: that is what makes the problem reproducible.
