Average value4.5 out of 5 points
The maximum achievable score is 5 points.

On a normalised scale, the score of the accessibility profile corresponds to 0.85 points. This value is weighted at 50% in the overall assessment.

  • Mobile operability: Usability and full display of content in portrait and landscape format; pointing actions and operability by device movement possible with conventional input methods.
  • Keyboard operability: Interactive elements can only be operated with a keyboard and are highlighted when focused on.
  • Voice control: Controls have an accessible label that corresponds exactly to the visual description/name.
  • Compatibility with user agents: User agents and assistive technologies are informed about changes in the state of the user interface as well as status messages.
  • Assistance with interactions: Interaction with forms; pointer entries can be cancelled or undone.
  • Consistency/predictability: Consistent navigation; context remains when focused in or during input.
  • Semantic structure: Content is labelled with structural elements such as headings, lists and labels that reflect the context of meaning.
  • Comprehensibility: Headings, form labels and link texts are understandable, correct language declaration is used.
  • Display flexibility: The presentation of the content can be adapted to the needs of the users: text size, control over animated elements and media.
  • Contrast and sensory characteristics: Adequate contrasts, no expressions such as ‘in the picture on the right’ or ‘click the red button’; information is not conveyed solely by colour.
  • Non-text content (graphics): Informative graphic elements have useful alternative texts.
  • Multimedia alternatives Multimedia content is compatible with at least one alternative sensory channel.

Key findings

The settings area is structured using semantic headings and the switches are clearly described, which makes the settings easy to use even with screen readers. It is feasible to plan and run meetings with the methods tested. A lot of things can be operated with the keyboard, even if the control is not intuitive at all points. Activating the ‘Connect Device’ button activates WebEx device search and completely blocks operation of the app. Screen reader users are not informed of this process and can only end the device search by closing the app. The app is generally only usable in portrait format, but can be used in landscape format for calls. The additional options during a call are only read out with the screen reader as ‘more,’ which is not informative enough. Text size can in principle be adjusted, but enlargement causes overlapping in a number of cases. All in all, the contrasts meet the requirements.
