Accessibility Statement

Accessibility Statement for alfatec.com

This statement applies to content published on the domain alfatec.com.

It may not apply to other content or websites hosted on subdomains. Those may have their own specific accessibility statements.

This website is managed by ALFATEC GmbH Fördersysteme. It is designed to be usable by as many people as possible, including individuals with disabilities.

We are committed to complying with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the European standard EN 301 549 v.3.2.1, and the national accessibility regulations applicable in all EU member states. These standards are designed to ensure that digital content is accessible to people with a wide range of impairments.

Accessibility Features

To support this commitment, the website uses the Accessibility Widget, which includes the following tools and enhancements:

UI and Readability Adjustments

  • Color Adjustments: Change contrast, saturation, or switch to monochrome for improved readability.
  • Text Adjustments: Modify font type (including dyslexia-friendly), size, spacing, line height, and alignment.
  • Stop Animations: Pause all on-screen motion to reduce distractions and improve focus.
  • Content Highlighting: Emphasize links, titles, and other elements for easier navigation.
  • Mute Sounds: Instantly disable all audio for a quieter browsing experience.
  • Hide Images: Users can choose to hide all images to reduce visual clutter or prevent overstimulation.
  • Cursor Adjustments: Enlarge the cursor, or enable a reading mask/guide to aid focus.

Screen Reader Optimizations

AI-based tools continuously analyze the website and inject ARIA labels and ALT text into elements where such attributes are missing or not compliant with accessibility standards. This ensures compatibility with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. The AI also adjusts semantic HTML structure where needed to improve accessibility hierarchy and provide clearer navigation for assistive technologies.

Keyboard Navigation Enhancements

Users can browse the website using only a keyboard. Features include:

  • Full site operability using Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Arrow Keys and Spacebar
  • Automatic focus management for interactive elements such as pop-ups

Text-to-Speech

The widget includes a Text-to-Speech feature that allows users to have website content read aloud in several modes:

  • Read All Text
  • Text Selection
  • Hover Reading

Users can also enable visual tracking of what is being read, with the option to highlight individual words, entire phrases, or both, improving comprehension and focus.

The Accessibility Widget is designed to assist users with a wide range of functional needs. The overview below maps specific user groups to relevant features provided by our widget, including AI-powered enhancements:
