Explore Studio Accessibility

VertiGIS Studio, particularly Studio Web, includes a range of accessibility features designed to support users with disabilities and help organizations meet accessibility requirements. 

Key accessibility capabilities include:

1. Standards Support
   • VertiGIS Studio Web conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards.
   • It is designed to follow WAI-ARIA keyboard navigation guidance to improve interaction with dynamic web content.
2. Screen Reader Compatibility
   • Users can work with popular screen readers that vocalize and interpret application content.
   • Interface elements are designed to be readable and navigable through assistive technologies. 
3. Keyboard Navigation
   • Most viewer functions can be accessed using only a keyboard.
   • This helps users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device. 
4. Skip Links
   1. Built-in skip links allow users to jump directly to key interface components.
   2. For example, users can navigate directly to a component using keyboard shortcuts such as Alt+Q. 

Why it matters:

• Supports public sector and regulated organizations that need to comply with accessibility requirements.
• Improves usability for people using assistive technologies.
• Makes GIS applications more inclusive without requiring extensive custom development.

If you're evaluating VertiGIS Studio for a customer, I would recommend validating accessibility against the specific standard required (for example, AODA in Ontario, Section 508 in the U.S., or WCAG 2.2) 

VertiGIS documents conformance primarily against WCAG 2.1 AA.
