Draft pending counsel review — last updated 2026-09-29. This is a working draft published for transparency. It is not final legal advice and will change after review.

Accessibility

We want everyone to be able to prepare and practise with SlideDeck, including people who use a keyboard, screen reader, captions or magnification.

Our target

We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA for the web product. This is a target, not a certification: we haven’t completed an independent audit, and we don’t claim full conformance.

Built in

  • Semantic page structure with landmarks, headings and a skip link.
  • Keyboard operation with a visible focus indicator.
  • Labelled form fields and controls.
  • Colour contrast designed to meet AA in light and dark themes.
  • Reduced motion when your system asks for it.
  • Captions during rehearsal and exportable transcripts.
  • Touch targets sized for comfortable use.

Practice accommodations

  • Type your answers instead of speaking them.
  • Longer response windows.
  • Interruptions switched off completely.
  • Manual slide advancement.
  • Speech-rate accommodation, and exclusion of delivery metrics that aren’t reliable for you.
  • No penalties for accent, stutter, disability or communication style.

Planned tests

Before launch and after major changes, we plan to test:

  • keyboard-only journeys through sign-in, creation, editing, rehearsal, export and billing;
  • screen-reader passes with NVDA and VoiceOver;
  • automated checks for contrast, names and roles on every public page;
  • 200% zoom and 320px-wide reflow;
  • accessible timing controls in rehearsal;
  • accessibility tagging in exported PDFs, which we test separately.

Known limitations

  • Direct drag-and-resize on the slide canvas is pointer-based; keyboard alternatives for positioning and sizing are still being verified.
  • Exported PDFs are not yet verified as tagged, accessible PDFs.
  • Live captions depend on speech-recognition accuracy, which varies by speaker and audio conditions.
  • English is the only fully evaluated rehearsal language.

Feedback

If you meet a barrier, email support@slidedeck.my with “Accessibility” in the subject, the page, and what happened. We’ll respond and, where we can, provide the content in another way while we fix it.
