Everyone deserves the ability to save, curate, and share. That's why we're dedicated to making Wakelet inclusive and accessible to all. We believe learning should have no barriers, and we strive to enable students to demonstrate their learning with the most intuitive tools that help them showcase their best work — photos, videos, voice notes, links, text, and much more.
Some of our accessibility features include the Immersive Reader by Microsoft, which enables students and teachers to read text aloud and translate to almost every spoken and written language. In addition, we offer keyboard navigation and a screen reader to support more accessibility needs.
With every new feature or site update to the collection page, we extensively test for accessibility, including contrast and how buttons behave. Our goal is to become substantially compliant with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA Standards for key user flows.
