Accessibility

What we build for

Semantic landmarks and a logical heading order on every page. Full keyboard operation of the checker — submitting, expanding evidence, copying records — with visible focus states throughout. Result status announced to screen readers when a check completes, with status conveyed by text and icons, never color alone. Sufficient contrast, reduced-motion support, touch targets sized for mobile, and comparison tables that reflow rather than force horizontal scrolling.

What we test

The complete checker workflow is exercised keyboard-only, and result states are verified to announce via live regions. Automated checks cover landmarks, labels, and contrast; manual review covers the parts automation misses.

Known limitations

Long field-comparison tables remain dense on very small screens, and provider names in evidence lists are abbreviated. If anything here blocks you, we want to know.

Report a barrier

If any part of this site is difficult or impossible to use with your setup, email support@citationcheck.org and describe what happened and what you were using. Accessibility reports are treated as defects, not suggestions.
