# Accessibility

***

### What WCAG 2.2 AA means

WCAG 2.2 (a W3C Recommendation since October 2023) organizes accessibility requirements around four principles - content must be **Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust**. Level AA is the conformance level most widely adopted by organizations and referenced by regulations such as the ADA (US), Section 508, and the European Accessibility Act / EN 301 549.

WCAG 2.2 builds on 2.1 with additional success criteria, including improvements for focus visibility, touch target sizes, dragging alternatives, consistent help, and more accessible authentication.

### How we support accessibility

* **Keyboard navigation** - All interactive elements are reachable and operable using a keyboard alone.
* **Screen reader support** - Semantic markup and ARIA labels provide a meaningful experience with assistive technologies such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.
* **Color contrast** - Default themes meet the 4.5:1 (text) and 3:1 (large text / UI) contrast minimums, and our branding tools help you preserve contrast in custom themes.
* **Visible focus indicators** - A clear focus state shows keyboard users where they are.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.1kosmos.com/identity-verification/ux-and-design/accessibility.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
