Accessibility Statement

Last updated: June 22, 2026

NovaReelOS is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

1 Our Commitment

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including:

  • Visual impairments (blindness, low vision, color blindness)
  • Hearing impairments (deafness, hard of hearing)
  • Motor impairments (limited fine motor control, tremors)
  • Cognitive impairments (learning disabilities, attention disorders)

Accessibility is not a one-time effort -- it is an ongoing commitment embedded in our development process.

2 What We Do

We implement the following accessibility features across NovaReelOS:

  • Keyboard navigation -- all interactive elements are reachable and operable using keyboard-only navigation (Tab, Enter, Escape, arrow keys)
  • Screen reader support -- semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and landmark roles ensure compatibility with screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
  • Color contrast -- text and interactive elements meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text)
  • Focus indicators -- visible focus outlines on all interactive elements for keyboard users
  • Responsive design -- content adapts to different screen sizes and zoom levels up to 200%
  • Text alternatives -- images and media include descriptive alt text where applicable
  • Consistent navigation -- sidebar and page structure remain consistent across all pages
  • Error identification -- form errors are clearly identified with descriptive messages

3 Known Limitations

While we strive for full compliance, some areas may have limitations:

  • User-uploaded videos -- we cannot guarantee that all creator-uploaded video content includes captions or audio descriptions. We encourage creators to add captions to their content.
  • LIVE streaming -- real-time LIVE studio features may have limited screen reader support during active streams. We are actively improving this.
  • Third-party embeds -- content embedded from external platforms may not meet our accessibility standards.
  • Legacy pages -- some older pages may not yet meet all WCAG 2.1 AA criteria. These are being updated on a rolling basis.

5 Third-Party Content Disclaimer

NovaReelOS is a platform where creators upload and share content. While we set accessibility standards for our own interface, we cannot fully control the accessibility of user-generated content. We encourage all creators to:

  • Add captions or subtitles to videos
  • Use descriptive text in post captions
  • Avoid text embedded solely in images without alternative text
  • Consider color contrast in custom graphics and thumbnails
