Accessibility statement

For revisica.net. Prepared 9 October 2026 by the site owner, by testing the site themselves. It has not had an independent audit.

Revisica should be usable by everyone on the course, whatever device or assistive technology you use. The aim is to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. The site does not fully meet that yet; the known problems are listed below.

What you can change

  • Dark mode. The site follows your device's light or dark setting. The sun and moon button in the header switches it, and your choice is remembered on that device.
  • Text size. Signed-in accounts can pick from four text sizes in Settings. Browser zoom also works; pages reflow to a single column on narrow screens, down to phone width, without scrolling sideways.
  • Readable fonts. Settings also offers Atkinson Hyperlegible, designed for readers with low vision, and Lexend, designed to reduce visual stress, alongside other fonts.
  • Reduced motion. If your device is set to reduce motion, animations, page transitions and celebration effects are switched off or cut right down. The site never plays sound.

How the site works with assistive technology

  • Keyboard. Links, buttons, forms, quizzes and flashcards can be used with the keyboard, and focused controls show a visible outline.
  • Maths. Equations are drawn with KaTeX, which also outputs MathML, so screen readers that support MathML (for example NVDA with MathCAT, or VoiceOver) can read the maths rather than skipping it.
  • Screen readers. Pages use headings, lists and labelled landmarks so you can move around by structure. Question figures have a caption as their text alternative.
  • Colour. Meaning is not given by colour alone; correct and incorrect answers are also marked in text.

Known problems

  • Lecture slides and past papers are PDFs made by the university and lecturers. Many are not tagged for screen readers, and scanned papers may have no readable text at all. The study packs and question pages cover the same content as web pages, which usually work better. For an accessible copy of a PDF, ask the module lecturer or the university's disability service.
  • Break games that draw on a canvas (for example the arcade games) are not usable with a screen reader and some need quick reactions. They are optional and nothing on the site depends on them.
  • Diagrams. Some question figures are images of slide diagrams. Their caption describes what they show, but not every detail a sighted reader can see.
  • No skip link yet. There is no "skip to content" link, so keyboard users tab through the header on each page.
  • Custom looks. Some background patterns and accent colours in Settings give lower contrast than the default look. The default is the most readable.

Tell us about a problem

If something is hard to use, or you need content in a different format, use the Contact me box at the bottom of any page. Say which page, what went wrong and, if you can, what device and assistive technology you use. You will get a reply by email, and problems that block someone from using the site are fixed first.

Revisica is an independent student project, not a university website, so the university's own accessibility statements do not cover it.
