Accessibility Statement
Our Commitment
Accessibility isn't a feature we added to Accessibyte. It's the reason Accessibyte exists.
For ten years, we've built learning and productivity software for blind and low vision users — designed accessible from the first line of code, not retrofitted later. Our products were created by a certified assistive technology specialist (CATIS), orientation and mobility specialist (COMS), and vision rehabilitation therapist (CVRT), and they're shaped every day by the teachers, students, and users who depend on them.
This statement explains what that commitment means in practice, what our software supports, and how to reach us if something isn't working for you.
The Standard We Build Toward
We design and develop our software to align with the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA — the internationally recognized standard for digital accessibility, and the standard referenced by the ADA's Title II rule for public entities.
For software whose primary users are blind and low vision, those principles aren't a compliance target we reach toward. They're the assumptions we start from: operable without a mouse, usable with a screen reader, adjustable for low vision, and clear enough to navigate with confidence.
We're careful with our words here. Accessibility is an ongoing practice, not a one-time certification, and no single product can make an organization "compliant" — that depends on your entire digital environment. What we can say plainly is that accessibility is built into the foundation of our software, and we work continuously to keep it that way.
What Our Software Supports
Across our products, accessibility is built in for a wide range of users:
- Blind users
- Fully self-voicing. Our software speaks from the first keystroke, with no screen reader required to get started, and works alongside JAWS, NVDA, and other assistive technology for users who have them. Everything is operable by keyboard, with logical navigation and clear focus.
- Low vision users
- Large, bold, high-contrast displays by default. Text size, colors, and visual styles adjust to the user and save automatically, so the display fits the person every time.
- Deaf and hard of hearing users
- Everything spoken is also shown. Our content is captioned and usable with no audio required.
- Dyslexic and print-disabled users
- Dyslexia-friendly font options, simplified layouts, and read-aloud throughout.
- Users with cognitive and learning differences
- Predictable, uncluttered screens and one clear task at a time, with the same simple structure repeating throughout — so there's nothing new to relearn from one tool to the next.
- Users with motor and dexterity differences
- The entire environment runs on just a few keys, with no precise mouse work or small targets. That same simplicity makes our software a natural fit for switch access and other adaptive input.
- Users with attention differences
- Calm, focused screens that keep the next step obvious, without clutter competing for attention.
- Everyone else
- An accessible approach quietly meets needs people didn't know they had: a calmer screen, a clearer path, less to keep track of. Designing for the people most often left out makes the software better for everyone.
How We Keep Accessibility Strong
- Built-in, not bolted on: We don't use accessibility overlays or add-on widgets. Our software is accessible at its foundation.
- Shaped by real users: Blind and low vision students, Teachers of the Visually Impaired, vision rehabilitation professionals, and assistive technology trainers give us direct feedback that informs every release.
- Tested the way it's used: We evaluate our software with the assistive technologies and access methods our users actually rely on.
- Always improving: Accessibility is part of how we build, review, and update our products over time — not a box we check once.

Tell Us if Something Isn't Working
We want every user to have a good experience with our software. If you encounter an accessibility barrier — something that's hard to use, or doesn't work with your assistive technology — please tell us. Your feedback genuinely shapes what we build next.
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- The product you were using.
- What you were trying to do.
- What happened, and what assistive technology or settings you were using (if any).
- support@accessibyte.com
We read every message, and a real person, not a ticket system, will get back to you, typically within 2 business days. We're a ten-year-old company that answers its own phone, and we take this seriously.
