Partial Compliance — In Progress

Aiscern is working toward WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance. Some areas are not yet fully compliant. We are actively addressing known issues and welcome feedback.

1. Our Commitment

Aiscern is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone, and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities.

2. Conformance Status

The current conformance status of Aiscern is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standards.

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard. Tab order is logical throughout.

Colour Contrast

Text contrast ratios meet or exceed 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text across the dark theme.

Touch Targets

All touch targets are a minimum of 44×44px (Apple HIG / WCAG 2.5.5).

Font Sizing

Base font size is 16px on mobile, preventing iOS auto-zoom. Users can resize text up to 200% without loss of content.

Reduced Motion

All animations respect prefers-reduced-motion. Framer Motion animations are disabled for users who opt out.

Skip Navigation

A 'Skip to main content' link is available at the top of every page.

Semantic HTML

Pages use landmark roles (main, nav, header, footer), heading hierarchy, and ARIA labels where appropriate.

Screen Reader Testing

Automated testing via axe-core has been performed. Manual screen reader testing with NVDA/JAWS is in progress.

Complex Widgets

The scan result confidence visualisations and animated charts may not convey all information to screen reader users. Text alternatives are being added.

File Upload

The drag-and-drop file upload interface has keyboard fallback but may present challenges for some assistive technologies.

WCAG 2.1 Full Audit

A formal third-party WCAG audit has not yet been completed. We plan to commission one in Q3 2026.

3. Technical Specifications

Aiscern relies on the following technologies for conformance:

HTML5 semantic markup
CSS (Tailwind CSS with focus-visible support)
JavaScript (Next.js React — server and client components)
WAI-ARIA 1.2 where native HTML semantics are insufficient

The following assistive technologies have been tested:

Chrome + ChromeVox (automated)
axe-core browser extension (automated)
iOS VoiceOver (basic manual testing)

4. Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of Aiscern, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations and potential workarounds:

Detection result confidence rings: SVG-based visualisations may not be announced correctly by all screen readers. A numeric percentage is always displayed as a text alternative.
Real-time scan progress: Live detection updates use aria-live regions but may announce too frequently. We are reviewing announcement frequency.
PDF export: Generated PDFs are not yet tagged for accessibility. Tagged PDF output is planned for a future release.
Video player (demo): The homepage hero video does not currently have captions. We are adding caption support.
