Accessibility statement

Our target

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA across the public website and the signed-in application. We do not claim full conformance today. The limitations we know about are listed below.

What we have done

• Every public page is checked with automated tooling (Lighthouse and axe) before release, and text colors were re-tuned in September 2026 so body text, labels, and links meet the 4.5:1 contrast minimum on our dark theme.
• A “Skip to content” link is the first focusable element on every page.
• Pages use one h1 and a logical heading outline, landmarks for navigation and main content, and data tables carry proper header cells.
• Icons are decorative and hidden from assistive technology; the text next to them carries the meaning.
• In the review screen, each detected item is a real button with an accessible name (its category) and a pressed state that reports whether it will be redacted, so approve and reject work from the keyboard.
• Forms have visible labels, and errors are written in plain language next to the field they concern.

Known limitations

• Drawing a manual redaction box on the review screen requires a mouse, trackpad, or touch. There is no keyboard-only way to draw a new box yet. Approving or rejecting the boxes the software found does work from the keyboard.
• Document pages are rendered as images in the review screen, so a screen reader cannot read the document text there. The detected items are announced by category rather than by content. This is deliberate for privacy, but it means the review step relies on sight.
• Sign-in and account screens are provided by Clerk, and payment screens by Stripe. We have themed them for contrast but do not control their markup.
• Downloaded PDFs are rebuilt as images on any page that carries a redaction, then given a fresh text layer by OCR. That layer is searchable, but it is not a tagged, structured PDF.

Tell us what is in your way

If something on this site or in the app blocks you, email support@drredact.com or use the contact form. Say which page, what you were trying to do, and the browser and assistive technology you use. A person reads every message, and accessibility reports go to the front of the queue. If you need a document redacted and the app is not usable for you, we will find another way to get it done.
