Accessibility Statement
Last updated: 17 August 2026
RIQ AI is committed to making Eva accessible to all Nigerian students, including those with disabilities. We aim to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
Current Status
Partially conformant - most features meet WCAG 2.1 AA; some known gaps below.
What Works
- Semantic HTML structure (headings, landmarks, lists)
- Keyboard-navigable chat interface
- Focus indicators on all interactive elements
- Color contrast ratios ≥ 4.5:1 (text) / 3:1 (UI components)
- Text resize up to 200% without loss of function
- ARIA labels on chat input, send button, message list
- Screen-reader announcements for new messages (polite live region)
- No flashing content, no auto-playing media
Known Gaps
| Issue | WCAG Criterion | Target Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Chat history lacks heading hierarchy for screen-reader navigation | 1.3.1 Info and Relationships | Q3 2026 |
| Error messages on failed queries not announced to screen readers | 4.1.3 Status Messages | Q3 2026 |
| Focus trap missing in mobile sheet/modal | 2.4.3 Focus Order | Q3 2026 |
