ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Lentävä Liitutaulu Ltd is committed to making the Seppo Player Web application accessible, in accordance with national legislation transposing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the EU Web Accessibility Directive).

This statement is based on a self-evaluation.

 

Compliance Status

Seppo Player Web conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA with few exceptions due to the nature of the application.

The platform provides a fully accessible way to play all Seppo games through the Task List, which is operable with keyboard and screen readers. It includes structured navigation, correct semantics, clear labeling, and live announcements, and is the recommended way to access and complete all tasks.

The majority of features — including keyboard navigation, focus management, modals, live announcements, structured menus, and labeled forms — meet WCAG 2.1 AA requirements.

 

Accessible Content

The Task List provides a fully accessible way to play all Seppo games.

Regardless of whether a game uses maps, branching, or 360° boards, every exercise can be completed from the Task List, which includes:

  • Complete keyboard operability
  • Screen reader–friendly layout
  • Clear labeling and consistent structure
  • Live announcements for new tasks and state changes

Note that making the game content accessible is the responsibility of the game creator.

Additional accessibility features in Seppo Player Web include:

Keyboard operation
  • All functionality available via Tab, Enter, Space, Esc.
  • Predictable focus order and consistent focus indicators.
Focus management
  • Modals and menus trap focus and return it to the trigger.
  • Background content is disabled using inert and aria-hidden.
Screen reader support
  • Live announcer communicates:
    • task openings
    • flash tasks
    • map changes
    • chat messages
    • notifications
    • time limit warnings
  • Tasks, user menus, and forms use semantic roles and correct labels.
Structured navigation
  • Landmarks and headings.
  • Skip links to jump past repeated content.
  • Predictable menu and panel structure.
Forms and inputs
  • All form fields have visible labels or programmatic equivalents.
  • Inputs for creative and missing word tasks are fully labeled.
Images and icons
  • Decorative elements are hidden from assistive technologies.
  • Task images support alt text, including creator-defined descriptions.
Color and visuals
  • WCAG AA contrast ratios.
  • Uniform, visible focus outlines.
Cross-platform support
  • Fully supported in modern browsers.
  • Best performance on Chrome; Safari/Firefox minor visual limitations.
Cognitive Accessibility

Seppo includes features designed for users with cognitive, learning, or attention differences:

  • Clear, visible instructions during task play
  • Structured task content with predictable steps
  • Constructive feedback model
  • Choice between map and Task List views
  • Minimal visual noise in core flows
  • Icons used to reinforce meaning at a glance

These features reduce memory load, improve orientation, and support calm, focused play.

 

Non-Accessible Content

The following features are not fully accessible:

Map-based tasks and 360° boards
  • Not fully operable with screen readers.
  • Direct map interaction is limited for keyboard users.
  • All tasks remain accessible from the Task List.
Branching games
  • Branch selection has limited screen reader support.
  • All tasks in the branch remain accessible in the Task List.
Browser-specific issues
  • In Safari and Firefox, some focus outlines may appear clipped.
  • In rare cases, certain interactions (e.g., point collection) require a refresh.
Time-limited tasks
  • Time warnings are announced, but fully adjustable timing options are not yet available.
User-generated content
  • Accessibility of instructions, media, and alt text depends on the game creator.
 

Accessibility Improvement Plan

We are actively improving accessibility. Current focus areas include:

  • Enhancing map-based task alternatives
  • Completing alt text and label coverage across all exercise types
  • Expanded testing with NVDA/JAWS in addition to VoiceOver
  • Introducing:
    • Focus Mode (Task List–only)
    • Easy-to-Read Mode (larger text and simplified layout)
    • Text-to-Speech for instructions
    • Reduced Motion settings
    • Persistent progress indicators (“Task 3 of 10”)

Accessibility improvements are part of Seppo’s ongoing development process.
