Accessibility statement

What we have actually done for keyboard, screen-reader and low-vision users, and what is still missing. We would rather list the gaps than claim a certification we do not have.

What we are aiming for

WCAG 2.1 level AA is the target, not a claim: we have not paid for a formal audit, and this statement describes the state of the site today rather than a certified result.

What is in place

• Every page is reachable and usable with the keyboard alone, including the language switcher and the menus that open on hover (they also open on focus).
• The first Tab press on any page offers a “skip to content” link, so you do not have to walk through the navigation every time.
• Focus is always visible: a 2px outline in the accent colour on every focusable control.
• The site follows your system’s “reduce motion” setting — animations and transitions are switched off when you ask for that.
• Illustrations and the practice waterfall are marked up with text alternatives, and buttons say what they do in words rather than relying on an icon.
• English and Chinese are complete, and each page declares its own language so screen readers pronounce it correctly.

Known gaps

• The practise waterfall is a canvas: a screen reader cannot read the falling notes from it. Keyboard play and the on-screen counters still work, but there is no equivalent audio or text description of the note stream yet.
• The Windows client has not had the same accessibility pass as the website — keyboard play works, but the menus and the score editor have not been checked with a screen reader.
• No third-party audit has been run, and we have not measured contrast across every screen; the ones we have checked pass, but that is not the same thing.

Telling us about a problem

There is no public inbound mailbox yet — it is being set up, and this page will be updated with the address when it exists. Until then, if you have an account, the email you signed in with is the one we can reply to.
