Accessibility

Scriptix aims to be usable with a keyboard, a screen reader, and under reseller-branded colour themes.

Standards we follow​

We target:

Conformance is a work in progress — see Known limitations below.

What's accessible​

Keyboard​

  • Tab / Shift + Tab — move between controls.
  • Enter / Space — activate the focused button, link, or row action.
  • Esc — close any open modal or popover; focus returns to whatever opened it.
  • Arrow keys — move within menus, tabs, tables, and the floating video overlay in the caption editor's split view.

A visible focus ring is shown on every interactive element. Modals trap focus while open.

Screen reader​

Form fields expose labels, required state, and validation errors. Tables expose semantic headers and sortable column state. Modals expose a dialog role and title. Toasts, save status, and upload progress are announced politely as they change.

In the transcript / caption editors:

  • The audio waveform — a canvas with no visible text — has a hidden live region that announces duration on load and play / pause with a timestamp.
  • Speakers are identified by name, not by the colour swatch next to them.
  • The comments panel is reachable with Tab; each comment is a real button activated with Enter / Space.

Keyboard shortcut overlay​

In the transcript or caption editor:

  • Press Shift + ?, or click the keyboard icon in the toolbar.
  • A grouped list of every editor shortcut opens — playback, navigation, segment timing, segment editing, and document actions.
  • Available in English, Dutch, French, and German.

Contrast under reseller branding​

When the portal is rendered under a reseller's brand colour, a runtime helper adjusts text colour over branded surfaces so it stays readable.

Compatibility​

Designed for current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, and intended to work with common screen readers (VoiceOver on macOS / iOS, NVDA on Windows).

Known limitations​

We are tracking and working on the following:

  • Manual assistive-technology sweeps (VoiceOver, NVDA) on every surface are ongoing — automated audits are in place but human verification is in progress.
  • Lighthouse / axe CI gate is currently advisory while public-route scores are being raised.
  • WCAG 2.2 AA conformance is the target on covered surfaces; we do not yet publish a formal conformance report.

Reporting an accessibility issue​

If a part of Scriptix doesn't work for you, please reach out via the channels on the Get Support page. Including the words "accessibility issue" in the subject and mentioning the assistive technology you use (if any) helps us route the report quickly.
