Choral Software is committed to making choralsoft.com usable by everyone, including people who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnification, speech input, and keyboard-only navigation. This statement describes our approach, what we have done, and what we are still working on.
Standard and conformance status
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. Based on our own review, the Site is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA: it meets most requirements, and the exceptions are listed under “Known limitations” below. This is a self-assessment, not a third-party audit.
How we assessed the Site
- In October 2026 we ran an automated WCAG 2.2 A and AA test (axe-core) across every published page of the Site and fixed the failures it reported.
- We manually reviewed link wording, heading structure, reading order, keyboard focus, image text alternatives, and use of color and images on the home, products, books, audiobooks, and detail pages.
- We plan further review with screen readers and keyboard-only use, and will update this statement as we do.
Accessibility features
- Structure. Each page has one main heading, headings follow a logical order, and a “skip to content” link is available on every page.
- Keyboard use. All links, buttons, and audio players can be reached and operated with a keyboard, and keyboard focus is shown with a clear outline.
- Links. Links in text are underlined. Links that look the same, such as “View details,” carry the title of the item in their accessible name, and links that open in a new tab say so.
- Images. Book and audiobook covers have text alternatives that identify the title.
- Audio. Every audiobook page has an audio sample with a text transcript that can be expanded and read on the page.
- Language. Pages and passages in French, Spanish, German, Finnish, Portuguese, and Russian are marked with their language so that screen readers pronounce them correctly.
- Motion. Animations and transitions are reduced for visitors whose devices request reduced motion.
- Responsive layout. The Site adapts to different screen sizes and supports zooming and text resizing.
Known limitations
- Sample PDFs. The free book samples are PDF files produced from our e-books. They may not be fully tagged for screen readers, and images in them may lack text alternatives. If you cannot use a sample, contact us and we will provide the sample text in an accessible format.
- Audio transcripts. Transcripts of audiobook samples were prepared with speech-recognition tools and reviewed by us, and may contain small differences from the recording.
- Third-party content. Some audiobook pages embed the Spotify player, and some pages load mathematical notation from a third-party library. We do not control the accessibility of these components.
- Apps and e-books. This statement covers the website. The accessibility of individual apps, e-books, and audiobooks depends on the platforms where they are distributed. We work to improve them and welcome feedback.
- Older content. Some older pages may still contain issues that our testing did not detect. We correct them as we find them.
Feedback and requests
If you have difficulty using any part of the Site, or need information or a sample in a different format, please email info@choralsoft.com with “Accessibility Feedback” in the subject line. Please tell us the page address, what you were trying to do, and the assistive technology you use if you are comfortable doing so. We aim to reply within five business days and to fix reported barriers as quickly as we reasonably can.
