Accessibility

Toran should be easy to read and use for everyone, including older family members and people using a screen reader, a keyboard or a magnifier.

What we aim for

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA across the public pages and the pages committees use.

Text is at least 18 pixels, and you can zoom to 400%.
The Aa button at the top of every page makes the text larger and the colours higher in contrast. Your phone remembers the choice.
Read aloud on mandir and event pages reads the details out with your phone's own voice, in English or Gujarati. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Everything works with a keyboard, and with screen readers such as VoiceOver and NVDA.
Colours have strong contrast, in light and dark mode, and nothing relies on colour alone.
If your device asks for less motion, the page animations stop.
The map of mandirs has a list view with the same mandirs, for anyone who finds maps hard to use.
Every change to the site is checked automatically for common accessibility problems before it goes live.

The map itself is hard to use with a screen reader. Use the list view instead; it has everything the map has.
Event titles and descriptions are written by mandirs, so some may use abbreviations or capital letters that screen readers read oddly.
The Gujarati version of the site is a draft and isn't available yet.

If something on Toran is hard to read or use, please tell us what and where. We'll fix it, or tell you another way to get the same information.
