Playlab is actively working toward WCAG 2.0 AA conformance — we are not yet certified. This page describes the accessibility work in progress and the features available today.
Our commitment
Playlab is built so that every learner and every educator can use it — regardless of how they interact with the web. We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 at the AA level, the standard most widely referenced by schools, districts, and procurement teams. We have not yet completed a formal audit and do not claim conformance today. Accessibility is treated as an ongoing investment, not a one-time milestone. New features are reviewed against the same standards before they ship, and we will publish formal documentation once the work is complete.Keyboard navigation
Every interactive element in Playlab can be reached and operated using only a keyboard.- Visible focus indicators appear on every interactive element — buttons, links, inputs, menus — so you can always see where you are on the page.
- Tab order follows the visual reading order, so moving through a page with
TabandShift + Tabmatches what you’d expect. - Standard keys (
Enterto activate,Escto dismiss, arrow keys inside menus) behave consistently across the product.
Screen reader support
Playlab is designed to work with screen readers such as VoiceOver, NVDA, and JAWS.- Accessible labels on icon buttons — every icon-only button (send, attach, flag, share, and so on) has a descriptive label so screen readers can announce what it does, not just “button”.
- Semantic structure — pages use proper headings, landmarks, and lists so screen reader users can navigate by structure.
- State changes are announced — when something is selected, loaded, or expanded, screen readers are notified.
Visual design
- Color contrast — we are working toward meeting WCAG 2.0 AA minimums for body text and interactive elements across the product.
- Color is never the only signal — status, errors, and required fields are communicated with text or icons as well as color.
- Resizable text — Playlab respects browser zoom and OS-level text-size preferences.
Built-in accessibility features
Several Playlab features are themselves accessibility tools you can turn on as needed:- Voice Input — speak instead of typing, with real-time transcription
- Voice Output — listen to Playlab’s responses with text-to-speech
- Using Dictation — dictate longer responses with platform dictation
- Spanish Mode — operate Playlab in Spanish
- Math Inputs — input math expressions without relying on keyboard symbols
- Camera Handwriting Input — submit handwritten work via camera
For procurement and compliance teams
We are in the process of completing a formal accessibility audit and VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template). These documents are not yet available. If your district or procurement process requires a VPAT before purchase, please reach out so we can share our current status and timeline.View Data Privacy Agreements & compliance documents
