Accessibility Statement

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

This statement applies to the website at thelatexlab.com, including the accessibility checker and the reports it produces.

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. thelatexlab.com partially conforms to WCAG 2.1 level AA. “Partially conforms” means that most of the site meets the standard, and that some parts do not fully meet it. The known gaps are listed below.

We say partially conforms rather than fully conforms because this site has been assessed by us, not audited by an independent third party. We would rather state the limit of what we know than claim more than we can show.

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 carries a name.
  • – Animation and motion are suppressed for visitors whose system asks for reduced motion.
  • – Text meets the WCAG AA contrast minimum of 4.5:1, and interface elements such as borders and icons meet 3:1.
  • – Pages are usable at 200 percent zoom and reflow to narrow screens without horizontal scrolling.

In the accessibility checker and its reports:

  • – The result of every check is conveyed by an icon shape, a text label, and color together, never by color alone. A triangle means fail, a diamond means warning, a disc means pass, a ring means needs review, a dash means not applicable.
  • – The score in the results gauge is available to screen readers as text, not only as a graphic.
  • – When a scan finishes, keyboard focus moves to the report so that screen reader and keyboard users are taken to the result rather than left at the upload form.
  • – Progress during a scan is announced, so the wait is not silent.
  • – Every collapsible section of a report can be opened and closed from the keyboard, and its expanded state is exposed to assistive technology.

Known limitations

  • – This site has not been independently audited. Our assessment is our own.
  • – Some blog posts include screenshots and rendered mathematical images.
  • – Alternative text on older posts may be incomplete or less descriptive than it should be. We are working through them.
  • – Some blog posts include wide code samples and comparison tables that scroll sideways within their own container on small screens.
  • – The “Download Report” button prints the report using your browser’s print function. The result depends on your browser and 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 are not under our direct control. We have chosen them with accessibility in mind where we had a choice, but we cannot guarantee their behavior:

  • – Project enquiry and quote forms are hosted by Tally.
  • – Call bookings are handled by Calendly.
  • – The accessibility checker is protected from automated abuse by Cloudflare
  • – Turnstile, which usually verifies visitors without asking them to do anything, but may occasionally present a challenge.
  • – If any of these blocks you, email us and we will complete the task with you directly by email.

Tell us about a barrier

If any part of this site or any report it produces is not usable for you, we want to know, and we will help you get what you came for in the meantime.

Email: [email protected]

Please tell us the page address and what happened. We aim to reply within two working days. There is no wrong way to report a problem, and you do not need to know the name of the standard involved.

How this site was assessed

We assessed this site ourselves, using a combination of keyboard-only navigation, screen reader testing, automated checks, and manual review of contrast and focus behavior. No independent audit has been carried out.

A note on our checker

Our accessibility checker reports readiness, not compliance. Automated analysis can find many problems, but it cannot prove that a document is accessible, so the tool never issues a pass mark of 100, never uses the words compliant or certified, and reports checks it cannot decide as “not determined” instead of guessing. The same honesty applies to this page.
