ACCESSIBILITY:
What is the maximum font size and does text re-flow when you enlarge the font?
The Max is the browser max, we set no limit. Text will reflow.
Can a user change background/foreground colours or contrasts? How?
The user can use their browser or Operating System to change
background/foreground colours or contrasts. The website will respect this
Are there keyboard-only equivalents for all mouse actions? Where could I find a list?
Are there short cut keys to reduce tabbing round links?
There are keyboard equivalents for all information deemed business/user
critical. Some minor information may require mouse action. There are skip
links but no shortcut keys as the commonly held opinion is that the
4
specification for Accesskeys is too vague and can interfere with screen
readers, browser default behaviour and Operating System behaviour.
Is text marked up so it can be navigated in a meaningful way (for example by heading
level)?
Yes, Springer follow a semantic structure
Can text be selected and read by text-to-speech tools?
Yes
Are text descriptions available for all relevant graphics and images?
Yes. There may be a small amount of edge cases where content from the
publishing vendor does not contain alt text, but this is out of our control and
rare
Where can I find guidance for all these features?
