Accessibility

What we have built in

• Everything can be reached and used with a keyboard, with a visible focus outline and a “Skip to content” link.
• Menus, dialogs and the search box announce their state to screen readers and close with Escape.
• Text can be zoomed to 200% without losing content, and pages reflow on small screens.
• Colours are chosen for contrast in both light and dark mode, and meaning is never carried by colour alone.
• Animation is minimal and is switched off when your device asks for reduced motion.
• Buttons and links on phones are large enough to tap comfortably.
• Decorative illustrations are hidden from screen readers; meaningful images have text alternatives.

Known limitations

• Picture cards are images. The same words are always available as text beside them.
• Some older articles may contain images without detailed descriptions.
• Content in Hindi and other Indian languages is still being added.

How we test

We test with keyboard-only navigation and automated checks before releases, and we fix what readers report.
