A site about readinghas to be readable.
This page states what has actually been built, what is targeted, and what is known to fall short. It is not a certification and does not claim to be one.
Target
These pages are built against WCAG 2.2 Level AA, and text contrast is held to the stricter Level AAA ratio of 7:1 wherever the design allows it — which, on this site, is everywhere body copy appears.
What is implemented
- Type size. Body text is set at 18px rather than the usual 16px, and every measurement scales with it, so increasing your browser’s text size enlarges the whole layout rather than breaking it.
- Contrast. Body and heading colours were checked against the exact background they render on, not against plain white. Every text pair clears 7:1.
- Keyboard. Every link, button and disclosure is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus ring that is not removed anywhere. A skip link is the first focusable element on each page.
- Tap targets. Interactive elements are at least 48 pixels tall, above the 44 pixel minimum, with space between them.
- Motion. There is no autoplaying media and no motion-triggered content. Transitions are disabled entirely when your system requests reduced motion.
- Structure. Pages use real landmarks and a single, ordered heading outline, so a screen reader can navigate by region and by heading.
- Tables. Comparison tables carry proper row and column headers, and are replaced by stacked cards on narrow screens instead of forcing horizontal scrolling.
- Zoom. Content reflows to a single column and remains usable at 200% zoom and at 320 pixels wide.
Known limitations
- Product photography is decorative and carries short alternative text; it is not a substitute for the specification detail, which is always present as text.
- Purchase links leave this site for the Scanmarker store, which is a separate site with its own accessibility characteristics that this statement does not cover.
- This site has been built and reviewed against the criteria above but has not been independently audited or tested with a formal panel of assistive-technology users.
On the product, not the website. A reading pen is assistive technology that provides access to printed text. It does not diagnose, treat or correct any vision or reading condition, and nothing on this site should be read as clinical advice.
