We firmly believe that the Internet should be accessible to everyone, and we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance or ability.
To achieve this, we strive to adhere as closely as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with different types of disabilities. Following these guidelines helps us ensure that the site is accessible to all people: people who are blind, people with mobility impairments, people with visual impairments, people with cognitive impairments and more.
This website uses various technologies to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We use an accessibility interface that allows people with certain disabilities to customize the site's user interface (UI) and design it to meet their personal needs.
In addition, the site uses an artificial intelligence-based application that runs in the background and constantly optimizes accessibility levels. This application corrects the site's HTML code, adapting its functionality and behavior to screen readers used by blind users and to keyboard functions used by people with mobility impairments.
If you have found a failure or have ideas for improvements, we would love to hear from you. You can contact the site operators using the following email address dziekanat@poczta.wszia.opole.pl
Our website uses the ARIA attribute technique (accessible rich internet applications) along with various behavioral changes to ensure that blind users using screen readers can read, understand and use the site's features. As soon as a user with a screen reader enters your site, he or she will immediately be prompted to enter a screen reader profile so he or she can effectively browse and operate the site. Here's how our site meets some of the most important requirements for screen readers, as well as console screenshots with code examples:
Screen reader optimization: we run a background process that learns site components from top to bottom to ensure continuous compliance even as the site is updated. As part of this process, we provide screen readers with relevant data using a set of ARIA attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions of the icons that can be used (social media icons, search icons, shopping cart icons, etc.); form input validation guidelines; roles of elements such as buttons, menus, modal dialogs (pop-ups) and more. In addition, a background process scans all images on the site and provides an accurate and understandable description based on recognizing image objects as ALT (alternative text) tags for images that are not described. It also extracts text embedded in the image using OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To enable screen reader settings at any time, simply press Alt+1. Screen reader users also receive automatic notifications that screen reader mode has been enabled whenever they access a website.
These customizations are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Optimizing keyboard navigation: The background process also adjusts the site's HTML code and adds various behaviors via JavaScript code to enable the site to be navigated using the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the site using the Tab and Shift + Tab keys, operate drop-down menus with the arrow keys, close them with the Esc key, trigger buttons and links with the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox items with the arrow keys, and fill them with space or the Enter key. In addition, keyboard users will find a menu of quick navigation and skip content, available at any time by clicking Alt+1 or as the first elements of the page when navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered pop-ups, moving the keyboard's focus toward them as soon as they appear, and doesn't let the focus move beyond them.
Users can also use shortcuts such as "M" (menus), "H" (headings), "F" (forms), "B" (buttons) and "G" (graphics) to jump to specific items .
We strive to support the widest possible range of browsers and assistive technologies, so that our users can choose the tools that best suit them, with as few restrictions as possible. That's why we've worked very hard to be able to support all major systems, which account for more than 95% of user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), for both Windows and Mac users.
Despite our best efforts to make the site customizable for everyone, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of being made available, or lack the appropriate technology solution to make them accessible. Nevertheless, we are constantly improving our accessibility by adding, updating and enhancing its options and features, and developing and implementing new technologies. All of this is aimed at achieving an optimal level of accessibility, keeping pace with technological advances. For assistance, contact dziekanat@poczta.wszia.opole.pl
