Accessibility statement
Accessibility is a core promise of EventMC, not a feature. A service that makes spoken events readable should be usable by everyone.
Our standard
We build to WCAG 2.2 Level AA as a baseline, reaching for AAA on the transcript reading experience where it is inexpensive. Where a visual design choice conflicts with accessibility, accessibility wins.
What that means in practice
- Full keyboard operability, a visible focus indicator, and a skip-to-content link on every page.
- Semantic landmarks and a correct heading hierarchy, so screen-reader users can navigate by structure.
- Colour contrast measured against AA thresholds — never conveying meaning by colour alone.
- Forms with programmatically associated labels and clear, text-based error messages.
- Respect for
prefers-reduced-motion; layouts that reflow at 200% zoom without loss of content. - The transcript is the accessible alternative to the audio — it is the heart of the product, not an afterthought.
Report a problem
Found a barrier? We treat accessibility issues as bugs and want to know. Email accessibility@eventmc.co with the page URL and what went wrong, and we'll respond promptly.
Status
This is an early preview. Automated checks (axe-core/Lighthouse) and manual keyboard and screen-reader passes run on the core flows before each release. This statement will be updated as coverage grows.
