Accessibility Statement

Last updated: February 27, 2026

Our Commitment

StorySplice is committed to making interactive storytelling accessible to everyone. We aim to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

What We've Done

• Keyboard navigation — all interactive elements are reachable and operable via keyboard
• ARIA labels — buttons, modals, and dynamic content are labeled for assistive technology
• Color contrast — text meets WCAG AA contrast ratios against our dark theme
• Screen reader support — live regions announce dynamic content changes (story text, AI generation status)
• Focus management — focus is moved appropriately when opening modals and navigating between screens
• Reduced motion — animations are disabled when the user prefers reduced motion
• Semantic HTML — proper heading hierarchy, landmark regions, and form labels throughout

Known Limitations

• The visual story map editor relies on SVG and drag interactions that may be difficult to use with screen readers. All editing functions are also available through the node edit modal.
• AI-generated content may not always meet readability standards.

Feedback

If you encounter accessibility barriers, please let us know through the StorySplice GitHub repository. We take accessibility issues seriously and will work to address them.
