Accessibility Statement
Our commitment to making math education accessible to everyone, regardless of ability
Our Commitment to Accessibility
MathQuizily is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We believe that every student, teacher, and parent should have equal access to quality math education tools, regardless of their abilities.
We are continually improving the user experience for everyone by applying the relevant accessibility standards and regularly testing our platform with assistive technologies.
Our Accessibility Goals:
- Make all math content accessible to screen reader users
- Ensure full keyboard navigation throughout the platform
- Provide sufficient color contrast for low vision users
- Create clear, simple language for cognitive accessibility
- Generate accessible PDF documents for offline use
Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
Current Status: WCAG 2.1 Level AA (Partial)
MathQuizily 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 standard. We are actively working to achieve full conformance.
What This Means
- Level A: We meet all Level A success criteria
- Level AA: We meet most Level AA success criteria, with ongoing improvements
- Level AAA: We're implementing select Level AAA criteria where practical
Accessibility Features
MathQuizily includes numerous accessibility features designed to help all users:
🎯 Focus Indicators
Clear visual focus indicators help keyboard users track their position on the page.
📝 Form Labels
All form inputs have associated labels for screen reader compatibility.
🔗 Skip Links
Skip navigation links allow keyboard users to bypass repetitive content.
📊 Alt Text
Images include descriptive alternative text for screen reader users.
🎨 Color Contrast
Text and interactive elements meet WCAG AA contrast requirements.
📱 Responsive Design
The platform works on all devices and supports browser zoom up to 200%.
Assistive Technology Support
MathQuizily is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:
Screen Readers
We test with and support these screen readers:
- JAWS (Windows) — Job Access With Speech
- NVDA (Windows) — NonVisual Desktop Access (free)
- VoiceOver (macOS, iOS) — Built-in Apple screen reader
- TalkBack (Android) — Built-in Android screen reader
- Narrator (Windows) — Built-in Windows screen reader
Browser Compatibility
Accessibility features work best with these browser combinations:
- Chrome with JAWS, NVDA, or VoiceOver
- Firefox with NVDA
- Safari with VoiceOver
- Edge with Narrator or JAWS
Other Assistive Technologies
- Voice recognition software (Dragon NaturallySpeaking)
- Screen magnification tools (ZoomText, Windows Magnifier)
- Switch devices and alternative input methods
- Reading and dyslexia tools (Read&Write, Immersive Reader)
Keyboard Navigation
All functionality on MathQuizily can be accessed using a keyboard alone. Here are the key commands:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Tab | Move to next interactive element |
| Shift + Tab | Move to previous interactive element |
| Enter | Activate buttons and links |
| Space | Select checkboxes, expand dropdowns |
| Esc | Close modals and menus |
| ↑ ↓ | Navigate within menus and dropdowns |
Visual Accessibility
Color Contrast
We maintain a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, meeting WCAG AA requirements.
Color Independence
Information is never conveyed by color alone. We use text labels, patterns, and icons alongside color to ensure content is accessible to colorblind users.
Text Sizing
The platform supports browser-based text resizing up to 200% without loss of content or functionality. Users can also use their browser's zoom feature.
Animation Control
Animations respect the user's prefers-reduced-motion system setting. Users who prefer reduced motion will see static alternatives.
Cognitive Accessibility
We design with cognitive accessibility in mind to support users with learning differences, attention difficulties, or processing challenges:
- Clear Language: Instructions and content use plain, simple language
- Consistent Navigation: Navigation elements appear in the same location on every page
- Predictable Behavior: Interactive elements behave consistently throughout the platform
- Error Prevention: Forms include validation and clear error messages
- Step-by-Step Guidance: Complex tasks are broken into manageable steps
- Visual Hierarchy: Content is organized with clear headings and structure
- Generous Timeouts: No time limits on completing tasks
PDF Document Accessibility
Math tests generated by MathQuizily are exported as PDF documents. We're committed to making these accessible:
Current PDF Features
- Tagged PDF structure for screen reader navigation
- Document title and language metadata
- Logical reading order
- Text-based content (not images of text)
- High contrast text
Planned Improvements
- Full MathML support for mathematical expressions
- Alternative text for all generated images
- Enhanced table accessibility
Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts, some areas of MathQuizily may have accessibility limitations. We're actively working to address these:
1. Mathematical Notation
Complex mathematical equations may not be fully accessible to screen readers in all contexts. We're implementing MathML and LaTeX-to-speech solutions.
2. AI-Generated Images
Some AI-generated images in math problems may have limited alt text descriptions. We're improving our image description generation.
3. Legacy PDF Documents
Some older PDF resources may not meet current accessibility standards. We're working to remediate these documents.
4. Third-Party Content
Some embedded third-party content may not meet our accessibility standards. We evaluate all integrations for accessibility.
