Accessibility Statement

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more usable for everyone.

• Accessibility is part of our internal development guidelines
• We maintain minimum colour contrast ratios of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text
• All interactive elements are keyboard accessible with visible focus indicators
• We use semantic HTML and proper ARIA labels throughout
• Touch targets meet minimum size requirements (24×24px)
• We test with screen readers and keyboard-only navigation
• Images include appropriate alternative text

Our website and application include:

• Clear heading hierarchy and document structure
• Keyboard navigation support for all interactive elements
• High contrast colour scheme with WCAG AA compliant text
• Responsive design that works across devices and screen sizes
• Properly labelled forms and controls

Our website relies on the following technologies to work with web browsers and assistive technologies:

• HTML5
• CSS3
• JavaScript
• ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications)

The EP-PatchStudio desktop application (macOS, Windows, Linux) is built using web technologies and follows the same accessibility guidelines as our website. We aim to ensure:

• Keyboard shortcuts and navigation work consistently
• UI elements are properly labelled for screen readers
• Visual elements meet colour contrast requirements
• Text can be resized without breaking functionality

We are aware of the following limitations and are working to address them:

• Some third-party embedded content may not be fully accessible
• Certain audio processing features require visual feedback that may need additional auditory alternatives
• PDF export functionality may require additional accessibility improvements

We are committed to addressing these issues as part of our ongoing accessibility improvements.

EP-PatchStudio assessed the accessibility of this website and application through:

• Self-evaluation using WCAG 2.2 Level AA criteria
• Manual testing with keyboard navigation
• Screen reader testing (VoiceOver, NVDA)
• Automated accessibility testing tools
• Browser developer tools contrast checking
