Adjust the safe-area padding for your TV's overscan, tune the focus ring for visibility from the couch, and remap remote keys if your device sends non-standard codes.
Cheap TVs crop the edges of the picture. Add extra padding so buttons at the edge stay visible.
Make the focus ring bolder if it's hard to see the highlighted tile from across the room.
Turn on high-contrast mode for maximum legibility, and scale up captions and helper text.
Black background, white text, bright amber focus ring. Overrides tile colors so every control passes WCAG AAA.
Sample caption text — this small caption grows with the slider.
Controls how quickly the TV launcher announces the focused tile to screen readers. Lower = more responsive, higher = fewer announcements when scrolling fast. An internal sequence guard prevents duplicate or out-of-order announcements at any setting.
Balanced — fast holds coalesce, but each settled tile is heard.
When on, the TV launcher speaks each tile as focus moves and says which activity is launching. Uses your device's built-in text-to-speech — great for pre-readers and hands-free navigation.
Off by default. Turning it on plays speech through the same output as media, so lower media volume if it feels loud.
Fine-tune each kid's voice: rate, pitch, and volume layer on top of the character persona (Zavi/Zemi). Use Preview to hear the change, Reset to return to defaults.
Speed of speech (0.5× slow – 2× fast)
Higher = younger, lower = older
Voice loudness (mutes independent of media volume)

Choose the reading level each kid should focus on. 'Auto' lets ZAZE adapt to recent quiz scores; a specific level pins Read Aloud suggestions and puts that difficulty first on the chapter list.
Adaptive: difficulty follows recent quiz scores.

Set the score a kid must reach on a Chapter Activity step before the next one unlocks. Lower it for early learners, raise it for stricter mastery. A per-grade override wins over the default.
Swap the tile palette and focus ring to a colour-blind-safe set (Wong/IBM). Every option keeps tiles distinguishable without relying on red/green pairs.
Choose the language used by the accessibility help overlay (press ? or F1). The switch is instant and screen readers pick up the new language via a lang attribute on the dialog, so the correct voice is used.
Try it now: press ? or F1 to open the help overlay in English.
Reduce transitions, focus glows, and tile animations across the whole app — perfect for motion-sensitive kids or slower TV chipsets.
Cuts animation and transition durations to near-zero everywhere, including focus rings, tile hovers, dialogs, and game overlays.
After you finish typing, focus jumps to the first match so screen-reader and low-vision users can continue reading from there. Off by default because it can feel disorienting for sighted keyboard users.
Add extra keys for any action. Handy if your remote's Back button sends an unusual code.
Tip: Samsung Tizen sends key code 10009 and LG webOS sends 461 for the physical Back button — both are already routed to "Back" automatically.
The PIN unlocks parent-only actions like removing a child profile, editing screen-time limits, and opening TV Settings itself.
Set a PIN so kids can't accidentally remove their profile or open protected settings.
On a TV remote, use the D-pad Left/Right to move between buttons, then press OK.
