Browsers and accessibility
Elie runs in a web browser. This page records what it needs from yours, and which accessibility affordances are actually in the product — no more than that.
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. |
Three things lean hardest on a recent browser, so they are the first to misbehave on an old one: upload progress and cancelling an upload part-way; live status updates on Voice IntELIEgence conversation pages; and the local preview of a document before you upload it.
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.
| Affordance | What you get |
|---|---|
| Keyboard-operable upload area | Move focus to the drop zone and press Enter or Space to open the file picker. The file input itself also stays reachable. |
| Keyboard-operable dropdowns and pickers | Enter selects the highlighted option; Escape closes the list. |
| Enter to submit a panel | In an add or edit side panel, Enter runs the primary action. |
| Named icon-only buttons | Icon buttons — the delete icon, Enable, Disable — carry an accessible name. |
| Visible focus | Focus outlines are styled rather than suppressed. |
| Reasons you can reach | Where a button is disabled, its explanation is reachable by keyboard, not by hover alone. |
| Decorative dots hidden | The coloured dot beside a status is skipped by screen readers; the word next to it carries the meaning. |
Two gaps to know about: there is no skip-to-content link, and reduced-motion preferences are not honoured across the interface.
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.
