Accessibility
Our goal
We want everyone to be able to practice in Story Gym. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.
What we support
- Every activity works with taps, a keyboard, or a screen reader.
- A "Skip to content" link and a visible focus outline.
- Feedback and timer messages are read aloud when they appear.
- Story Shuffle cards can be moved with buttons, not just dragging.
- Timers are optional, off by default, and can be stopped at any time.
- Sounds always come with an on-screen message.
- Animations switch off when your device asks for reduced motion.
- Story X-Rays show every recording word for word as text.
Known gaps
Some Listening Lab recordings do not yet have a full written transcript, and the printable tester guide PDF is not fully tagged for screen readers. We are working on both.
