How does STREVOW ensure accessibility?

We have integrated the EqualWeb Accessibility Plugin into our platform.

The EqualWeb accessibility plugin is an AI-powered tool designed to make the platform more accessible for people with disabilities. It helps meet standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by offering features that improve navigation, readability, and usability.
How to access the accesibility features?
Look for the accessibility icon (wheelchair symbol) on the top-right. Click this icon to open the EqualWeb accessibility menu, where you can customize your browsing experience.
What accessibility features are supported?
The accesbility plugin supports the following features:
  • Text Reader: Reads website text aloud for auditory access.
  • Magnifier: Zooms in on specific areas of the screen for easier viewing.
  • Readable Font: Switches to a simpler, more legible font style.
  • Image Descriptions: Adds spoken or text descriptions to images for screen readers.
  • Highlight Links: Outlines all clickable links for better visibility.
  • Highlight Headers: Marks headings to improve navigation and structure.
  • Enlarge Buttons: Increases the size of buttons for easier clicking.
  • Readable Mode: Simplifies the layout and removes distractions for clearer reading.
  • Text Magnifier: Enlarges text in real-time as you hover over it.
  • Mute Media: Silences auto-playing audio or video for a quieter experience.
  • Virtual Keyboard: Displays an on-screen keyboard for typing without a physical one.
Do I need to install anything on my device for the accesbility to work?
No! The EqualWeb plugin is already embedded in our website. You don’t need to download or install anything—just use the features directly through your browser.
Will accessibility options work on mobile?
Yes, the EqualWeb plugin is designed to function across devices, including smartphones and tablets. The accessibility icon and menu should be available whether you’re on a desktop, laptop, or mobile browser.
Can I use the plugin with my keyboard only?

Yes! The plugin supports keyboard navigation:

  • Open the accessibility menu with the “Tab” key until the icon is highlighted, then press “Enter.”
  • Use “Tab” to move between options, “Enter” to select, and arrow keys to adjust settings (e.g., sliders).
  • This is perfect if you prefer not to use a mouse or have motor impairments.
Can I turn off the accessibility features once I’ve activated them?
Yes! Any changes you make via the EqualWeb menu only apply to your current session. To reset, click the accessibility icon again and select “Reset” or “Default Settings”  or simply refresh the page.
What happens if I use a screen reader with the plugin?
The plugin enhances screen reader compatibility by optimizing the site’s structure and adding descriptive tags (like alt text for images). When you activate the “Screen Reader Adjustment” option, it ensures the site’s content is read aloud more accurately and logically.
Does the accessibility plugin collect my personal data?
No, the EqualWeb plugin doesn’t collect personal information from users. It’s designed to enhance your browsing experience without tracking or storing your data. For more details, see EqualWeb’s privacy policy at www.equalweb.com.
