Accessibility at Quaverley
A statement of what the product aims for, what it does well today, and where it falls short.
Target
The website aims to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA, and the app is built against the same target, together with Apple's and Google's touch-size guidance. Text and controls are checked for contrast, keyboard use and reduced-motion preferences.
What works today
- Semantic landmarks, a skip link and a visible focus style on every interactive element.
- Contrast measured against the paper and ink palette, with colour never the only carrier of meaning.
- Reduced-motion support: animations are removed when the system asks for it.
- Touch targets of at least 44 points in the app.
Known limitations
- Practice is built around an engraved score, and the app presents it as an image. For a screen-reader user, the notation itself is not yet available in a text or audio form, and the app has not been verified with every screen reader and braille display.
- The full-score view is inherently visual. The step-by-step practice cards describe their bars and tempo in text, and those are the accessible route through a piece today.
- The website has not yet had an external audit.
