Accessibility

RTC Collector is built to be accessible to everyone, including users with disabilities. We follow WCAG 2.1 guidelines and continually work to improve accessibility.

Keyboard Navigation​

Full Keyboard Support​

Navigate the entire app without a mouse:

Tab/Shift+Tab: Move between interactive elements Enter/Space: Activate buttons and links Arrow Keys: Navigate menus, lists, and dropdowns Esc: Close modals and dialogs Cmd/Ctrl + K: Open command palette

Press Tab on any page to reveal "Skip to main content" link - jumps past navigation directly to content.

Focus Indicators​

Visible focus-visible outlines on all interactive elements show where keyboard focus is located. These appear only when navigating with a keyboard, not when clicking with a mouse.

Screen Reader Support​

Tested With​

  • JAWS (Windows)
  • NVDA (Windows, free)
  • VoiceOver (Mac/iOS)
  • TalkBack (Android)

Semantic HTML​

Proper HTML structure ensures screen readers understand page layout:

  • Headings in logical order (H1 → H2 → H3)
  • Landmarks (header, nav, main, footer)
  • Lists for grouped content
  • Tables with proper headers

ARIA Labels​

Interactive elements include descriptive labels:

  • Buttons explain their action
  • Form fields have associated labels
  • Images have alt text
  • Status messages are announced
  • OTP inputs have individual aria-labels
  • Follow buttons and icon-only buttons have descriptive labels

Live Regions​

Screen readers announce dynamic changes:

  • Toast notifications use aria-live for instant announcements
  • Form validation errors
  • Loading states
  • Success/error notifications

Visual Accessibility​

Color Contrast​

All text meets WCAG AA standards:

  • Normal text: 4.5:1 contrast ratio
  • Large text: 3:1 contrast ratio
  • Icons and UI elements: 3:1 contrast ratio

Dark Mode​

High contrast dark theme reduces eye strain:

  • Enable in Settings → Theme
  • Automatically follows system preference if set to Auto

Text Sizing​

Text scales properly when browser zoom is adjusted (up to 200% tested).

Color Independence​

Information isn't conveyed by color alone:

  • Icons accompany color-coded states
  • Patterns used in addition to colors
  • Text labels for all important states

Motor Accessibility​

Large Touch Targets​

All interactive elements meet minimum sizes:

  • Buttons: 44x44px minimum
  • Links: Adequate spacing
  • Form fields: Easy to tap

No Timing Requirements​

No actions require precise timing or quick responses.

Gesture Alternatives​

All touch gestures have alternatives:

  • Swipe actions have button equivalents
  • Pinch zoom has +/- buttons
  • Long press has menu options

Cognitive Accessibility​

Clear Language​

  • Plain language throughout
  • Jargon explained
  • Instructions are clear and concise
  • Error messages explain how to fix

Consistent Design​

  • Navigation in the same place on every page
  • Buttons look and behave consistently
  • Predictable interactions

Helpful Errors​

Error messages are:

  • Specific about what went wrong
  • Suggest how to fix the problem
  • Located near the relevant field

Progress Indicators​

Multi-step processes show:

  • Current step
  • Total steps
  • Progress bar
  • Clear next action

Forms & Input​

Labels​

All form fields have:

  • Visible labels
  • Associated with input programmatically
  • Helpful placeholder text (not relied upon as labels)

Validation​

Form validation is:

  • Client-side and server-side
  • Errors announced to screen readers
  • Errors visible and clearly marked
  • Errors explain what's needed

Autocomplete​

Forms use standard autocomplete attributes for:

  • Names
  • Addresses
  • Email
  • Phone numbers
  • Credit cards

Helps users with cognitive disabilities and autofill tools.

Media Accessibility​

Images​

  • Decorative images: Empty alt attribute
  • Meaningful images: Descriptive alt text
  • Complex images: Long descriptions provided

Icons​

All icons:

  • Have text labels or aria-labels
  • Never convey information through iconalone
  • Tooltips explain meaning on hover/focus

Accessibility Settings​

Reduce Motion​

For users sensitive to motion, all animations in RTC Collector respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query:

  1. Enable "Reduce Motion" in your device or browser settings
  2. Page transitions, toast animations, and interactive effects are automatically disabled
  3. No separate in-app setting is needed — the system preference is respected throughout

High Contrast​

Browser high-contrast modes are supported.

Text Spacing​

Works properly when users adjust:

  • Line height
  • Letter spacing
  • Word spacing
  • Paragraph spacing

Recent Improvements (v2.2.0)​

The v2.2.0 release included a comprehensive accessibility overhaul:

  • Skip to main content link on every page for keyboard navigation
  • aria-live on toasts for screen reader announcements of notifications
  • aria-labels on OTP inputs, follow buttons, and all icon-only buttons
  • Reduced motion support — all animations respect prefers-reduced-motion
  • Focus-visible indicators on all interactive elements
  • Inline form validation on blur — errors appear as you tab away, not just on submit
  • Visible checkmarks inside checkboxes and filled circles inside radio buttons
  • Touch targets — all interactive elements meet the 44px minimum
