Accessibility Statement

We target WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance across all pages and content types on translatemorsecode.com. WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility, and Level AA is the benchmark most widely adopted by organizations committed to inclusive design.

Where specific components fall short of full AA conformance, we document those gaps in the Known Limitations section below and treat them as active remediation items - not accepted exceptions.

The following features are implemented site-wide:

Navigation and Structure

• Skip-to-content link on every page, allowing keyboard and screen-reader users to bypass repeated navigation and jump directly to the main content.
• Semantic HTML throughout - proper use of headings (h1 through h4 in logical order), landmark regions (nav, main, aside, footer), and list structures so that assistive technologies can parse and announce page structure accurately.
• Full keyboard navigation - every interactive element (links, buttons, menus, form fields, toggles) is reachable and operable via keyboard alone, with visible focus indicators.

Images and Media

• Alt text on all content images. Every image that conveys information carries a descriptive alt attribute. Decorative images are marked as such so screen readers skip them.
• Captions on all embedded video. Every video embedded on our site includes accurate synchronized captions. Where we produce our own video content, captions are authored in-house rather than relying solely on auto-generated text.
• No auto-playing video with sound. Video content never plays audio automatically. Where video auto-plays for visual context (e.g., a looping product clip), it loads muted with user-accessible playback controls.

Visual Design

• Sufficient color contrast. Text and interactive elements meet or exceed WCAG 2.2 AA minimum contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text and UI components).
• Dark mode toggle. A site-wide dark mode option is available for readers who find light backgrounds difficult to read against. The toggle is accessible via keyboard and persists across sessions.
• Readable default typography. Base font sizes start at 16px with scalable rem units, so text responds correctly to browser-level zoom and user-defined font size preferences up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
• No reliance on color alone. Information conveyed through color (e.g., comparison tables, rating indicators) is always reinforced with text labels, patterns, or icons so that it remains meaningful without color perception.

Motion and Interaction

• Respects reduced motion preferences. Animations and transitions honor the prefers-reduced-motion operating system setting. Users who have enabled reduced motion see static alternatives.
• No time-limited interactions. No content on the site requires the reader to act within a time limit.

We are aware of the following gaps and are actively working to resolve them:

When we identify a new limitation, we add it to this table. When a limitation is resolved, we move it to the Resolved section below so readers can track our progress.

Resolved Limitations

This table will be populated as known limitations are remediated.

We evaluate our accessibility through a combination of:

• Automated checks with tools such as axe and Lighthouse.
• Manual keyboard testing performed during development and content QA.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we depend on our readers to help us find what we've missed. If you encounter a barrier on our site - something that prevents you from accessing content, completing an action, or navigating effectively with your assistive technology - please let us know.

How to report an issue:

Reach out through our contact page with a description of the barrier you experienced, including the page URL and the assistive technology or browser you were using if possible. You don't need to speak in technical terms - just tell us what didn't work.

This statement applies to all content published on translatemorsecode.com that is owned and operated by Translate Morse Code. Third-party content embedded on our site (e.g., embedded merchant or app-store widgets, third-party ad creatives, social media embeds) may not meet the same standards. Where we are aware of third-party accessibility issues, we flag them to the vendor and seek alternatives where possible.
