Accessibility Testing FAQ
What distinguishes WCAG 2.1 from other accessibility standards?
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 are globally recognized standards that include a wider range of recommendations for making web content more accessible. The guidelines are geared towards accommodating users with specific disabilities like low vision and cognitive limitations, going beyond just ADA or Section 508 compliance.
What's the difference between digital accessibility testing and software accessibility testing?
While digital accessibility testing encompasses web and mobile applications, software accessibility testing is particularly targeted at desktop applications. Both aim to identify and rectify accessibility issues but may require different tools and methodologies, like VoiceOver for iOS and JAWS for desktop applications.
Why is compatibility testing important?
Compatibility testing ensures that your digital assets are accessible across different devices, browsers, and operating systems. In the context of web accessibility, it’s crucial to validate that assistive technologies like screen readers function consistently irrespective of a user’s choice of technology.
What do you mean by "global accessibility standards"?
Accessibility norms can differ from one country to another. While WCAG is internationally acknowledged, some countries have their own guidelines like the EN 301 549 in Europe or the DDA & Equality Act in the UK. We ensure your digital platforms are compliant with these regional variations.
Why is user experience important in the context of accessibility solutions?
Improving user experience goes hand-in-hand with enhancing accessibility. For instance, our ‘speech-to-text functionality with leniency on time delays’ caters to those with speech disabilities like stuttering, providing a more inclusive and efficient user experience.
