What we have checked, what we have not, and how to tell us when something gets in your way. This is a plain statement, not a certificate.
What is checked, and what is not
Checked
- Contrast. In the app’s built-in themes, text meets 4.5 to 1 against its ground and focus rings meet 3 to 1. The product colours on this site had their contrast calculated when they were chosen.
- Keyboard. This site can be used with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus ring, and so can voting. The presenter view runs on four keys.
- Less motion. If your device asks for reduced motion, nothing loops, beats or counts down: the opening, the reveal and the start countdown do not play.
- Larger text. The Aa button on every app page makes the text bigger on that device.
- Small screens. Every page works at phone width without sideways scrolling.
- Colour is never the only signal. Errors carry words, and a chosen answer carries a tick.
- Flashing. Nothing flashes more than three times a second.
Not yet checked
- Screen readers. We have not done a full pass with VoiceOver, NVDA or JAWS. Some live results may be announced poorly.
- An outside audit. Nobody independent has tested the app or this site against WCAG.
- Custom themes. A host can pick their own colours, and can pick ones that clash.
- Spanish and French. The translations are machine-made and have not been reviewed by a native speaker.
- Every host screen by keyboard. The host console has many controls and has not been walked through key by key.
- Every browser. Most checking has been in Chrome. Safari and Firefox have had less.
Tell us.
If something on this site or in a poll is hard to use, write to support@getdefib.com and say what you were trying to do and what you were using. A person reads it, and we would rather hear it than not.
The opening on this site can be skipped with any key, click or scroll, and plays once per visit. Add ?intro=0 to any address to stop it.
