Atitikties statusas
Įgyvendindami norą užtikrinti svetainės prieinamumą, siekiame kuo griežčiau laikytis Pasaulinio žiniatinklio konsorciumo (W3C) turinio prieinamumo gairių 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) AA lygiu. Šios gairės nurodo, kaip žiniatinklio turinį galima padaryti prieinamą žmonėms su įvairaus pobūdžio negalia. Atitiktis šioms gairėms padeda užtikrinti, kad puslapis yra prieinamas visiems: žmonėms su judėjimo, regos, klausos, intelekto, psichosocialine ar kompleksine negalia, kitais galimais informacijos supratimo sunkumais.
Šioje svetainėje naudojamos įvairios technologijos, skirtos ją padaryti kuo prieinamesnę.. Naudojame prieinamumo sąsają, leidžiančią asmenims su specifine negalia pritaikyti svetainės UI (naudotojo sąsają) ir dizainą prie savo asmeninių poreikių.
Be to, svetainėje naudojama dirbtinio intelekto (angl. AI) paremta funkcija, kuri nuolat optimizuoja svetainės pritaikymo lygį. Ši funkcija atkuria svetainės HTML, pritaiko jos funkcijas ir veikimą ekranų skaitytuvams, kuriuos naudoja aklieji, ir klaviatūros funkcijas, naudojamas žmonių su judėjimo sutrikimais.
Jei pastebėjote gedimų ar turite funkcijų pagerinimo idėjų, mielai su jomis susipažinsime.
Ekrano skaitytuvai ir valdymas klaviatūra
Interneto svetainėje įdiegta ARIA atributų (angl. Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technologija. Ji užtikrina, jog regos negalią turintys vartotojai, besinaudojantys ekranų skaitytuvais, galėtų skaityti svetainės tekstus ir naudotis jos funkcijomis. Kai tik naudotojas su ekrano skaitytuvu patenka į svetainę, jis tuoj pat gauna priminimą įsijungti Aklumo režimo profilį, kad galėtų efektyviai naršyti ir naudotis svetaine. Apačioje pateikiame informaciją, kaip mūsų svetainėje užtikrinamos kai kurios svarbios ekranų skaitytuvų funkcijos:
Pritaikymas ekrano skaitytuvams: nuolat veikiantis foninis procesas (angl. background process) peržiūri svetainės komponentus užtikrindamas nuolatinę atitiktį net kai svetainė atnaujinama. Šio proceso metu ekrano skaitytuvams perduodami duomenys naudojant ARIA atributų rinkinį. Veikiant foniniam procesui, skenuojami visi svetainėje esantys paveikslėliai ir suteikiamas paveikslėlio apibūdinimas kaip ALT (alternatyvaus teksto) žyma paveikslėliams, prie kurių nėra aprašymo. Taip pat naudojant OCR (optinio simbolių atpažinimo) technologiją nuskaitomi pačiame paveikslėlyje esantys tekstai. Norint įjungti šias funkcijas, naudotojams tereikia paspausti Alt+1 kombinaciją klaviatūroje. Šie patobulinimai suderinami su visais populiariais ekranų skaitytuvais, tokiais kaip JAWS ir NVDA.
Valdymo klaviatūra optimizavimas: foninis procesas taip pat pritaiko svetainės HTML ir suteikia papildomų funkcijų naudojant JavaScript kodą, kad svetainėje būtų galima naršyti klavišais. Tarp tokių funkcijų yra judėjimas svetainėje naudojant Tab ir Shift+Tab klavišus, išskleidžiamųjų meniu valdymas rodyklių klavišais, jų uždarymas Esc klavišu, mygtukų ir nuorodų aktyvavimas Enter klavišu, judėjimas tarp žymimų langelių ir panašių elementų naudojantis rodyklių klavišais bei jų žymėjimas tarpo arba Enter klavišais. Taip pat yra galimybė naudoti sparčiosios navigacijos (angl. quick-navigation) ir turinio peršokimo (angl. content-skip) meniu, kurie pateikiami kaip pirmi elementai svetainėje arba juos galima iškviesti paspaudus klavišų kombinaciją Alt+1. Foninis procesas taip pat rūpinasi iššokančiais langais, nukreipdamas klaviatūros fokusą į juos ir neleisdamas fokusui nukrypti.
Vartotojai taip pat gali naudoti sparčiuosius klavišus, tokius kaip „M“ (meniu), „H“ (antraštės), „F“ (formos), „B“ (mygtukai) ir „G“ (grafika), norėdami pereiti į specifinius elementus.
