We are thrilled to announce the completion of the Accessibility Conformance Report in the form of the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) Section 508. This report underscores our mission to ensure that website information is accessible to all users.
Key Accessibility Features of Rozz
Our team has diligently worked to incorporate various accessibility features into Rozz, guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and 2.1, as well as the Revised Section 508 standards. Here are some of the key highlights:
- Text Alternatives: We’ve ensured that all non-text content, including images and icons, have text alternatives (such as
aria-labels) so that they can be interpreted by screen readers. This allows users with visual impairments to understand the content and interact with the search box effectively. - Keyboard Navigation: Rozz supports full keyboard navigation, ensuring that users with limited mobility can access all features without relying on a mouse. We’ve also implemented focus traps and visible focus indicators to enhance the keyboard navigation experience.
- Color Contrast: We’ve carefully chosen color schemes that provide sufficient contrast between text and background colors, making the content more readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
- Resizable Text: Users can resize text up to 200% without losing content or functionality, accommodating those with low vision who require larger text sizes.
- Error Identification and Suggestions: When users encounter input errors, Rozz provides clear error messages and suggestions for correction, ensuring that users can easily understand and rectify any issues.
- Screen Reader Compatibility: Rozz is designed to be fully compatible with screen readers, enabling users with visual impairments to access information and interact with the search box seamlessly.
- Language Adaptation: Rozz adapts to the user’s language, dynamically updating placeholder text, error messages, and generated output based on the language setting of the user’s browser and input. This ensures a more inclusive and personalized experience for users from diverse linguistic backgrounds.
