Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Vizcogs is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

While we strive to adhere to these guidelines, we acknowledge that not all areas of the site may fully meet accessibility standards due to the nature of interactive data visualizations.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features:

Visual Design

• Light and dark theme options to accommodate different visual preferences
• Consistent color contrast ratios throughout the interface
• Scalable text that respects browser font size settings
• Clear visual hierarchy and spacing

Navigation

• Keyboard navigation support for interactive elements
• Skip-to-content links where applicable
• Consistent navigation structure across pages
• Focus indicators for keyboard users

Content

• Alt text for album artwork images
• Semantic HTML markup
• Clear headings and page structure
• Descriptive link text

Known Limitations

Despite our efforts, some portions of the site may have accessibility limitations:

Data Visualizations

Interactive charts and graphs (scatter plots, treemaps, chord diagrams, etc.) may not be fully accessible to screen reader users. These visualizations rely on visual representation of data that is difficult to convey through alternative text alone.

What we're doing: We are exploring ways to provide alternative data presentations, such as tabular views or text summaries, for key visualizations.

Third-Party Content

Album artwork and release information sourced from Discogs may not always have complete alternative text descriptions.

Complex Interactions

Some features like the Coverflow view, drag-and-drop interfaces, and zoom interactions may be challenging to use with assistive technologies.

Assistive Technology Compatibility

Vizcogs is designed to be compatible with:

• Recent versions of screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver, JAWS)
• Screen magnification software
• Speech recognition software
• Keyboard-only navigation

We recommend using the latest versions of modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) for the best experience with assistive technologies.
