Built accessible. by design.
Our Commitment
This accessibility statement is Trueleveler’s account of what works today, the problems it knows about, and how to report a barrier it has missed.
Short version: We build Trueleveler to work from the keyboard and with a screen reader, and it is not there yet. This page says what works, lists the problems we know about, and tells you how to report one we have missed. Fixes for the known problems are in progress.
Trueleveler believes that the internet should be accessible to all people, including those with disabilities, and we want the widest possible audience to be able to use it.
Our target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. We have not been audited against it, and we do not claim conformance. These guidelines provide a framework for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
Standards
Trueleveler targets conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. WCAG 2.1 is the internationally recognised standard for web accessibility, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). It defines how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities.
The four core principles of WCAG require content to be:
- Perceivable — information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive
- Operable — user interface components and navigation must be operable by all users
- Understandable — information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable
- Robust — content must be robust enough to be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies
Accessibility Features
We build in the following accessibility features. The gaps we know about are listed under Known Limitations.
Keyboard navigation
We build interactive elements — buttons, links, form controls, dialogs, and navigation menus — to work from the keyboard with Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Escape, and the arrow keys. A few parts don’t yet; they are listed under Known Limitations below.
ARIA labels and roles
We use WAI-ARIA (Web Accessibility Initiative — Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide semantic meaning to dynamic content and custom interface components. This includes appropriate role, aria-label, aria-expanded, aria-live, and other ARIA attributes on interactive elements such as dropdown menus, modal dialogs, tab panels, and status notifications.
Colour contrast
We aim for WCAG 2.1 AA minimum contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text and UI components), and we pair colour with text or icons to show status and meaning. The exceptions we know of are listed under Known Limitations below.
Screen reader support
We design for popular screen readers, including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver, but we have not tested with all of them (see Assistive Technology Compatibility below). Semantic HTML elements (<nav>, <main>, <header>, <footer>, <section>) are used to provide document structure. Most form fields have a visible label and most images that carry meaning have alt text. Some changes, such as notifications, are announced through ARIA live regions; others are not yet, and some controls have no accessible name at all. Those gaps are listed under Known Limitations below.
Focus management
Interactive elements show a visible focus indicator. Our standard dialogs move focus into the dialog when they open, keep it there while they are open, and return it to the element that opened them when they close. Some older pop-ups in the app don’t do this yet (see Known Limitations).
Responsive design
The platform adapts to different screen sizes, orientations, and zoom levels. The public pages we have checked reflow at 320 pixels wide (the equivalent of 400% zoom) without horizontal scrolling; the app itself has not yet been checked at that size. Some buttons and links are smaller than the recommended 44 by 44 pixels (see Known Limitations).
Text and content
We design for text to be resizable up to 200% without loss of content or functionality; we have not tested every screen of the app at that size. We avoid using images of text. Link text is descriptive and meaningful out of context. Page titles and headings are descriptive and follow a logical hierarchy.
Assistive Technology Compatibility
We aim for Trueleveler to work with the following assistive technologies. We have not yet tested with each of them:
- Screen readers: NVDA (Windows), JAWS (Windows), VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), TalkBack (Android)
- Voice control: Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Voice Control (macOS/iOS)
- Screen magnification: ZoomText, built-in OS magnification tools, browser zoom
- Switch navigation: standard switch access configurations
Automated accessibility checks (axe-core) run on our main public pages as part of our test suite. We have not yet completed a formal audit with each of the assistive technologies listed above.
Known Limitations
We do not yet meet WCAG 2.1 AA everywhere. These are the problems we know about:
- PDF exports: Some PDF documents generated by the platform may not be fully tagged for screen reader accessibility. We are working to improve PDF output structure.
- Complex data tables: Bid comparison and procurement tracking tables with many columns may be difficult to navigate with a screen reader on smaller viewports. We recommend using a wider display or switching to the summary view where available.
- Third-party content: Some embedded third-party services (e.g., payment processing via Stripe) have their own accessibility characteristics that are outside our direct control. We select vendors that demonstrate commitment to accessibility.
- Real-time streaming: AI analysis results that stream in real time may not always be announced incrementally by all screen readers. A complete result summary is provided once streaming finishes.
- Older pop-ups in the app: Some pop-ups built before our standard dialog don’t keep keyboard focus inside them, may not close with Escape, and may not announce a title to screen readers.
- Target size: Some buttons and links, including footer links and social icons, are smaller than 44 by 44 pixels.
- Notifications: The app’s pop-up notifications show success or error by colour alone; the message text itself is announced to screen readers.
- Pages opened from email links: The collaborator portal and some approval pages have low-contrast text, and some are missing landmarks and headings.
- Expandable guide cards: A few guide pages on our public site open their cards with a mouse click only.
- Controls with no accessible name: About 13 buttons and icon-only controls that the app builds with JavaScript have no accessible name, so a screen reader announces them as just “button” or says nothing useful.
- Onboarding dialogs: The three onboarding dialogs (the product tour, the “One quick thing” question, and the welcome screen) are hidden with opacity only when they are closed, so a screen reader can still reach them while they are invisible.
- Low contrast in the dark theme: Sidebar section labels in the dark theme measure between 2.16:1 and 2.92:1 against their background at 10 px. WCAG AA asks for 4.5:1.
- Low contrast in the light theme: Amber accent text in the light theme measures about 2.65:1 against its background.
- Intake status messages: The status boxes on the document intake screens are not announced to screen readers, so progress and errors there are visible but silent.
Fixes for these are in progress. We have not set dates, and we will update this page as each one is fixed.

- Any steps to reproduce the problem
Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT)
A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) is a document that explains how information and communication technology (ICT) products conform to the Revised Section 508 Standards for IT accessibility. VPATs are commonly requested by government agencies and large enterprises during procurement.
VPAT status: We have not completed a VPAT yet, and we have not set a date for one. When one is published, it will be available for download on this page.
In the interim, if you require a VPAT or other accessibility documentation for procurement purposes, please contact support@trueleveler.com with the subject line "Accessibility Documentation Request" and we will provide the information you need to support your evaluation.
Enforcement
If you are not satisfied with our response to your accessibility concern, you may contact the relevant authority in your jurisdiction. In the United States, you may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice. In the European Union, contact your national enforcement body under the European Accessibility Act or the Web Accessibility Directive.
