Accessibility

We aim to make our writing guides and tools usable across common devices and input methods. This page describes current design choices and how to report a barrier; it is not a claim of independently certified conformance.

Current design choices

• Each publication page has a descriptive main heading and a logical heading order.
• Navigation, form fields, and tool controls have text labels and visible keyboard focus.
• A skip link lets keyboard users move to the main content.
• Explanatory article images include text alternatives; nearby article text explains the concepts.
• Layouts adapt to narrower screens without requiring the desktop menu.
• Tool results and errors use readable text, with live announcements where appropriate.

Using the tools

Move between fields with Tab and activate buttons with Enter or Space as supported by your browser. Results are displayed below the form. No timing limit applies to completing a writing tool. Counts and previews are supplementary; a page can still explain the method when a script fails.

Known limits

Diagrams contain short text and should be read with their alternative text and article explanation. Contact forms and external resources may behave differently across assistive technologies. We have not completed an independent accessibility audit, and some combinations of browser, device, and assistive technology may expose issues.

Report a barrier

Use the contact form and provide the page URL, the action you could not complete, and the browser or assistive technology if you are comfortable sharing it. Please avoid private documents. Reports help prioritize practical fixes.

Readability as part of accessibility

Clear link labels, instructions that name an action, and explanations that avoid unnecessary jargon can make a page easier to use. Our accessible writing guide discusses these choices.
