Voynich Search

Standard

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. We also try to follow the spirit of the European Accessibility Act and the UK Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018, although as a small private research project we are not strictly subject to them.

What we do

• Semantic HTML for headings, lists, landmarks, and forms.
• Keyboard navigation for all interactive controls.
• Sufficient colour contrast between text and background.
• Resizable text without loss of content or function.
• Descriptive link text and form labels.
• A single consistent layout across the site.

Known limitations

We are transparent about where the site falls short:

• Some source documents are scanned PDFs without an OCR text layer. We work on these incrementally but cannot guarantee screen-reader access to every page of every document.
• The site has not yet been audited by an external accessibility specialist. Conformance is self-assessed.
• Quoted passages preserve the original author's typography and line breaks, which can occasionally produce unusual reading order in long excerpts.
• AI-generated answers are produced by third-party models and may not always meet plain-language guidance.

Alternative formats

If you need a specific document or search result in an alternative format (large print, plain text transcript, etc.), ask using the contact options below. We aim to respond within 14 days.

Reporting a barrier

If you find something on the site that is hard to use with your assistive technology, or if any part of this statement is inaccurate, please tell us — your feedback genuinely helps:

Enforcement

If you are not satisfied with how we respond, UK residents can contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS). EU residents may contact the equivalent national equality body in their country of residence.
