Accessibility status
The HealthVillagePRO service partially meets the requirements specified in version 2.1 of the Online Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). No critical shortcomings in accessibility can be observed. Non-compliance or exceptions to the requirements are mentioned below.
Non-accessible content
The content mentioned below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
- Failure to comply with the Act on the Provision of Digital Services 306/2019
The following content and/or functions are not yet compliant:
- Some of the non-text content of the service (certain diagrams, pictures or videos) does not yet contain text matches. (WCAG 1.1.1)
- Some of the text contents of the service have not yet gone through scrutiny from the perspective of ensuring understandability and readability.
- There are individual shortcomings in the text matches of the images supplementing the contents. In addition, some pages may contain unnecessary text matches, for example, in illustrations that are not relevant to the content. (WCAG 1.1.1)
- Not all videos have subtitles. These videos were published before 23 September 2020 and are mostly videos linked to other actors. In some videos, subtitles sometimes go over text that appears on the video, such as the speaker's name, which may interfere with reading. (WCAG 1.2.1, 1.2.2)
- Some video frames do not have a title. However, the content of the video can be found in the preceding text. (WCAG 2.4.1)
- Header levels are not always logically used. (WCAG 1.3.1)
- Changing the spacing of the text may cause the text to break or overflow in places. (WCAG 1.4.12)
- The menu and diseases contain some English words that are missing a language specification. (3.1.2)
- Some tables do not have programmatically defined table headers, which may make it difficult to interpret the tables using a screen reader. (WCAG 1.3.1)
- If the user accesses the site using the arrow keys on the keyboard and then starts an embedded video on the page, the arrow keys will no longer return to the other content on the page. The Tab key must be used for exiting in this situation. (WCAG 2.1.1)
- In accordion-style guides, switching between different titles with the Tab key may cause the screen reader to read the title blank. However, it is possible to scroll and read normally using the arrow keys. (WCAG 2.1.1)
- Activating some buttons (add as favorite, clear search) does not work with the enter button. However, these buttons can be activated by using the space bar. (WCAG 2.1.1)
