Accessibility

Kern for everyone

We want everyone to be able to learn with Kern, with a screen reader, with only a keyboard or with an old phone.

Our aim

We follow the WCAG 2.2 guidelines at level AA: enough contrast in light and dark, everything usable with the keyboard and a clear focus.

Planners and pictures

Every interactive picture has sliders or buttons that work with the keyboard, and a line of text that says what the picture shows. In the backwards planner you also move blocks with the arrow keys. Colours never stand alone: a highlight also has a word, a marker a name or an icon. The focus timer does not move if you asked for less motion.

Reading comfort

With the button showing a small figure at the top of every page you pick a profile in one tap (low vision, colour blind, reading is hard, hard of hearing, keep it calm) or choose what helps yourself: larger text, more or high contrast, colour correction, a big cursor, more spacing, a readable font, underlined links, a reading guide, read aloud with your device's own voice, captions without sound and less motion. Your choice stays on your device and goes nowhere. The button replaces nothing: the website also works without it, together with your own device's settings.

What could be better

On a narrow screen the learning path is a list instead of a map. Dragging in the backwards planner is quicker with a mouse or finger than with the keyboard, but everything works with the keyboard.
