Rozz Accessibility Features: Building Inclusive AI-Powered Search

What is Rozz?

Rozz is a web crawler and content management system that:
- Crawls and processes website content (HTML, PDFs, and documents)
- Generates embeddings for semantic search
- Powers AI chatbot interfaces for website search
- Creates GEO-optimized content with structured data (Schema.org, llms.txt)
- Enables users to find information through natural language queries

Accessibility in Rozz's Chatbot Interface

Our chatbot interface incorporates accessibility best practices to ensure all users can effectively search and retrieve information:

1. Keyboard Navigation

The Rozz chatbot supports full keyboard navigation. Users can:
- Navigate to the chat input field using Tab key
- Submit queries using Enter key
- Access all interactive elements without a mouse
- Use Escape key to close modals or dialogs

2. Screen Reader Compatibility

Rozz is designed to work seamlessly with screen readers:
- Semantic HTML markup for proper content structure
- ARIA labels on interactive elements (search input, buttons, chat responses)
- Live regions announce new chat responses dynamically
- Clear focus indicators for keyboard users

3. Visual Accessibility

The chatbot interface follows WCAG 2.1 AA standards:
- Color contrast ratios of at least 4.5:1 for normal text
- Text remains readable when resized up to 200%
- No information conveyed by color alone
- Sufficient spacing between interactive elements

4. Error Handling and Feedback

When users interact with the Rozz chatbot:
- Clear error messages explain what went wrong
- Suggestions help users reformulate queries
- Loading states are announced to screen readers
- Timeout errors provide actionable next steps

5. Multi-Language Support

Rozz adapts to user language preferences:
- Detects browser language settings
- Processes queries in multiple languages
- Returns results in the user's preferred language
- Supports international content with proper language tags

6. Structured Data for AI Accessibility

Beyond the user interface, Rozz generates content optimized for AI search engines:
- Schema.org QAPage markup for question-answer content
- llms.txt files for AI agent discovery
- JSON-LD structured data for semantic understanding
- OpenGraph and Twitter Card metadata for social sharing

Technical Implementation

Rozz's accessibility features are built on modern web standards:
- HTML5 semantic elements (header, nav, main, article, aside)
- ARIA attributes (aria-label, aria-live, aria-describedby)
- Responsive design that works on all devices and screen sizes
- Progressive enhancement ensuring core functionality without JavaScript

Content Accessibility

Rozz processes crawled content to improve accessibility:
- Extracts and structures text from PDFs (with OCR fallback)
- Generates clean, semantic HTML from diverse content sources
- Creates embeddings that enable natural language search
- Maintains document structure and hierarchy in search results

Our Ongoing Commitment

Accessibility is central to Rozz's mission of making information universally accessible. We continuously:
- Test with assistive technologies (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
- Monitor WCAG guideline updates and implement improvements
- Gather feedback from users with disabilities
- Conduct accessibility audits on new features
