Accessibility Statement

TheLaTeXLab builds tools that check whether documents are accessible. An inaccessible accessibility tool would be a contradiction, so we hold this site to the standard we ask of the documents we check.

This statement applies to thelatexlab.com, including our free accessibility checkers and the reports they produce.

Conformance status

thelatexlab.com partially conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA. “Partially conforms” means most of the site meets the standard and some parts do not yet. The known gaps are listed below.

We tested the site ourselves with keyboard-only navigation, a screen reader, automated checks, and manual review of contrast and focus. It has not been audited by an independent third party, so we do not claim full conformance.

What we have done

Across the site

  • A “Skip to content” link is the first thing keyboard users reach on every page.
  • Every interactive element has a visible focus outline.
  • Navigation, main content, and footer are marked up as landmarks, and each navigation region has a name.
  • Animation is turned off for visitors whose system asks for reduced motion.
  • Text meets the WCAG AA contrast minimum of 4.5:1, and borders and icons meet 3:1.
  • Pages work at 200 percent zoom and reflow to narrow screens without horizontal scrolling.

In the accessibility checkers and their reports

  • Every result is shown by an icon shape, a text label, and color together, never by color alone. A triangle means fail, a diamond means warning, and a circle means pass.
  • The score is available to screen readers as text, not only as a graphic.
  • Progress during a scan is announced, and when the scan finishes, keyboard focus moves to the report.
  • Every collapsible section of a report opens and closes from the keyboard, and its state is exposed to assistive technology.

Known limitations

  • Some blog posts contain wide code samples and tables that scroll sideways within their own box on small screens.
  • “Download Report” uses your browser’s print function, so the result is not a tagged, accessible PDF. If you need the report in an accessible format, email us and we will send one.

Third-party content

Some parts of this site are provided by other companies, and we cannot guarantee how they behave:

  • Enquiry and quote forms are hosted by Tally.
  • Call bookings are handled by Calendly.
  • The checkers are protected from automated abuse by Cloudflare Turnstile, which usually works without any action from you but may occasionally show a challenge.

If any of these blocks you, email us and we will complete the task with you by email.

Tell us about a barrier

If any part of this site or any report it produces is not usable for you, tell us and we will help you get what you came for.

Email: help@thelatexlab.com

Please include the page address and what happened. We aim to reply within two working days. You do not need to know which guideline is involved.

A note on our checkers

Our checkers report readiness, not compliance. Automated analysis finds many problems but cannot prove a document is accessible. So the score never reaches 100, the reports never say “compliant” or “certified”, and checks that software cannot decide are marked “Not determined” for human review instead of guessed.
