Accessibility
Scout is built for people with mobility, vision, and other access needs. This page explains what Scout aims for, how that gets checked, and how to tell us when something blocks you.
What Scout aims for
Scout targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA across the whole product. WCAG — the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines — is the international standard for accessible websites. Where possible, Scout also follows three stricter (AAA) points: higher color contrast, a clear sense of where you are in a multi-step flow, and a lower-secondary reading level for its writing.
How that gets checked
Every page is checked automatically for accessibility problems (using a tool called axe-core) before any change ships, and a change can't go live with a known WCAG 2.2 AA problem.
The first full manual review hasn't been finished yet. Until it has, treat this page as a statement of what Scout aims for, but not necessarily a reflection of where we are.
Where the decisions live
Scout's accessibility decisions are public. You can read what Scout commits to, and why, in the open repository.
Report a barrier
If something in Scout blocks you, please tell us. A report goes to the same public issue tracker the rest of Scout uses. Don't use the private security channel for access barriers though; that's only for security vulnerabilities.
