We're working to ensure that our front office meets all the new requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which go into effect in June 2025. Our goal is to make the front office compatible with WCAG 2.1 AA, a standard that's compatible with every available tool to assist individuals with visual and motor disabilities.
As for SmartRec's administrator portal, we're committed to providing supplementary software to specific employees who work at our clients' organizations and require visual or motor assistance when using Amilia's solution.
SmartRec Accessibility Conformance Report - WCAG Edition (Based on VPAT® Version 2.5) |
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are a series of guidelines published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).; with the aim of making web content more accessible, primarily for people with disabilities. These guidelines are commonly used as the framework for ADA Compliance and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) can be completed to document and measure a product's conformance with WCAG accessibility standards and guidelines. WCAG versions 2.0 and 2.1 are most often referenced in laws about accessibility. Both versions have 3 levels of compliance: A, AA, AAA, with criterion becoming stricter at each level.
Amilia's online store SmartRec is designed with WCAG best practices in mind. This includes (but is not limited to) facilitating screen reader navigation, providing minimum color contrasts, and supporting keyboard-only navigation. Please contact us at support@amilia.com if you find content that requires improved accessibility.
