Astrology is for everyone. Accessibility is a top priority for us, and we are continually seeking ways to improve. We appreciate your patience while we work to create an experience that is supportive and inclusive. If you experience any problems with accessibility, or would like more information about the accessibility features currently supported in the CHANI app, please write to us at info@chani.com (iOS) or androidsupport@chani.com (Android).
Audio Transcripts
Transcripts are available for audio content in the CHANI app. The transcripts are located below the audio controls by selecting the button that says “Open Transcript.” Once selected, a pop-up containing the transcript for the content you’re listening to will appear.
If you do not see an "Open Transcript" button, you may need to update to the latest version of the app. We also recommend enabling automatic app updates in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store to make sure that you gain access to new and upcoming features.
To close the transcripts, select the "X" at the top right corner of the transcript window.
If you are looking for a transcript for an episode of The Week Ahead or Down to Astro podcasts, please reach out to info@chani.com.
