Accessibility

GreekManage targets WCAG 2.1 AA conformance. This page lists what's available and how to configure it.

Built-in features​

Screen reader support​

  • Semantic HTML throughout (proper heading hierarchy, landmarks, lists)
  • ARIA labels on icon-only buttons
  • Focus management on modals, dropdowns, and dialogs
  • Live regions for dynamic updates (notifications, chat messages)

Tested with VoiceOver (macOS / iOS), NVDA (Windows), and TalkBack (Android).

Keyboard navigation​

  • All actions reachable via keyboard
  • Focus indicator visible on every interactive element
  • No keyboard traps
  • Skip links to main content from the navbar

→ Keyboard shortcuts

Color and contrast​

  • All text meets 4.5:1 contrast (3:1 for large text)
  • Non-color cues for state (icons, text labels, not just color)
  • High-contrast dark mode

Motion and animation​

  • Animations respect prefers-reduced-motion
  • All animations can be disabled in Account settings → Accessibility → Reduce motion

Captions​

  • All platform-produced videos have captions
  • Custom-uploaded videos in courses inherit caption support if the source has them

Font size​

  • Text uses relative units (rem) — increase your browser zoom or OS text size and the app scales

Configurable settings​

Account settings → Accessibility:

  • Reduce motion — disables animations
  • High contrast — boosts contrast across the app
  • Larger touch targets — for tap-friendly mobile UI
  • Disable keyboard shortcuts — useful if shortcuts conflict with screen reader
  • Reading-optimized typography — slightly larger line height and tracking

Mobile accessibility​

  • Fully VoiceOver / TalkBack tested
  • Works with Switch Control, Voice Control, AssistiveTouch
  • Biometric unlock as alternative to typed passwords

Captions in events​

Events that include video meetings (Zoom, Google Meet) inherit those platforms' captioning features. GreekManage doesn't add captions to external streams.

Tables​

Long data tables include:

  • Proper <th> cells with scope
  • Caption text
  • Sortable columns clearly indicated to screen readers
  • Pagination with page-size options

Forms​

  • Required fields clearly marked (visually and via aria-required)
  • Error messages associated with their fields (aria-describedby)
  • Inline validation that doesn't trap focus
  • Date pickers with both keyboard and screen-reader support
