What conforms, stated plainly
DeskCalc is partially conformant with EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1 AA. Below is the current status by criterion, self-assessed and screen-reader tested, with the one open item named.
Conformance status
Levels follow the VPAT convention: Supports · Partially Supports · Does Not Support. DeskCalc additionally offers built-in text-to-speech (results, keystrokes, tape lines) — a real benefit, but not a substitute for third-party screen-reader support under 4.1.2.
| WCAG 2.1 A/AA criterion | Conformance | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 1.1.1 Non-text Content | Partially Supports | Toolbar icons carry tooltips; not every label audited |
| 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) | Supports | Light/Dark reviewed legible (not photometrically measured) |
| 1.4.4 Resize Text | Supports | Zoom + adjustable font size |
| 1.4.10 Reflow | Supports | Display and tape scale up |
| 2.1.1 Keyboard | Supports | Full operation via numeric keypad + shortcuts |
| 2.4.7 Focus Visible | Supports | Verified in NVDA test |
| 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value — ribbon / dialogs / controls | Supports | Announced by NVDA |
| 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value — calculation tape | Partially Supports | Audible via built-in speech on navigation; UIA exposure to third-party screen readers in progress |
US Section 508 buyers: this summary maps to the VPAT 2.x template and can be provided in that form on request. For EU/DE procurement it serves as the „Erklärung zur Barrierefreiheit“. A certified seal (accredited BITV-Test) follows once the tape’s UIA exposure is complete.
