Accessibility statement
This site aims to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Below is what has been done, what has been checked, and where it falls short.
Last updated: 2 September 2026.
Conformance
The site is intended to conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 at Level AA. That target is self-assessed rather than independently audited, so this statement claims partial conformance: the measures below have been implemented and verified, but no external evaluation has taken place.
What has been built in
- Colour contrast was calculated for every text and background pair the interface renders. The lowest measured ratio is 4.6 to 1, above the 4.5 minimum Level AA requires.
- No state is signalled by colour alone. The red recording indicator always sits beside the word “Recording”, and warnings carry text rather than a hue.
- Every control is reachable by keyboard, in a logical order, with a visible focus ring. The webcam overlay can be positioned with arrow keys, and the space bar starts and stops playback.
- Anything that changes while you are not looking — whether capture is running, how much has been captured, a refused permission, a microphone that has gone quiet — is spoken aloud through a live region set to interrupt nothing.
- Touch targets are at least 44 by 44 pixels on devices with a coarse pointer.
- There is no animation anywhere on the site — no motion, no parallax, no autoplaying movement — so there is nothing that could trigger vestibular discomfort.
- Headings run in order on every page, images carry alternative text, form controls have labels, and a skip link precedes the navigation.
- Text reflows to 320 pixels without horizontal scrolling and can be enlarged to 200 per cent without loss of content.
Known limitations
- Screen recording itself depends on your browser’s source picker, which we neither build nor control. Its keyboard and screen-reader behaviour is the browser vendor’s responsibility.
- The video preview uses the browser’s native player. Its controls vary in quality between browsers, and we deliberately do not replace them, since a custom player would almost certainly be worse for assistive technology.
- Recordings you produce have no captions. Adding them would require processing your audio, which would mean sending it somewhere — the one thing this tool exists to avoid. Caption your files in an editor after downloading.
- No formal audit by a third party has been carried out, and no testing with users of assistive technology has been commissioned.
Assistive technology
The site uses standard HTML controls and ARIA only where a native element cannot express the meaning. It should work with current versions of the common screen readers, though it has been verified through code review and automated checks rather than hands-on testing with each one.
Reporting a barrier
If something here is unusable for you, write to contact@screen-recording-software.com describing what you were trying to do, the page you were on, and the browser and assistive technology in use. Accessibility reports are treated as bugs, not suggestions.
If you are not satisfied with the response, the enforcement route depends on where you live: in the EU, your national authority under the European Accessibility Act; in the UK, the Equality Advisory and Support Service; in the US, the Department of Justice under the ADA.
