Accessibility at ClassCaption

Our Commitment

ClassCaption is built for students who depend on accessible technology every day. Accessibility is not a feature we added, it is the reason this product exists. We are committed to ensuring that ClassCaption itself meets the same standard of accessibility we help students achieve in the classroom.

Current Accessibility Support

ClassCaption is a browser-based application designed to work across modern devices and operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Chromebooks. The following accessibility features are built into the product:

Display & Readability

• Six named display themes including high-contrast options
• OpenDyslexic font option for students with dyslexia
• Adjustable font sizing throughout the transcription interface
• Focus Mode to reduce visual distraction during live sessions

Transcription & Captioning

• Live real-time captioning with word-level accuracy
• Audio Replay with word-level timestamps — tap any word to hear the original audio from that moment
• Keyword search within transcripts
• Full session transcript retained and exportable

Study Materials

• Structured ClassCards study packages generated automatically from session content
• PDF export formatted for readability and screen reader compatibility
• Bilingual English-French transcription support

Device Compatibility

• Full support for Chromebooks including IndexedDB audio storage and PDF download
• No software installation required — fully browser-based

WCAG Conformance

We are actively working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA — the standard referenced in the Accessible Canada Act and provincial accessibility legislation including Ontario's AODA.

A formal third-party accessibility audit and VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) are currently in planning. We will update this statement as conformance work progresses.

In the interim, we welcome direct conversations with institutional accessibility offices and IT departments regarding specific compliance requirements. We are committed to transparency about what ClassCaption currently supports and where we are still improving.

Known Limitations

We believe honest disclosure serves our users better than incomplete claims. The following limitations are currently present:

• Mathematical notation is not rendered — spoken math appears as text rather than formatted equations
• System audio capture may be limited on some Chromebook models depending on ChromeOS version
• A formal WCAG audit has not yet been completed — conformance is not yet independently verified

Compatibility with Assistive Technologies

ClassCaption is designed to function in Chrome, which has broad compatibility with assistive technologies including screen readers. We recommend Chrome with NVDA on Windows or Chrome with VoiceOver on macOS for the best experience. If you encounter compatibility issues with a specific assistive technology, please contact us directly.

Feedback & Contact

We take accessibility feedback seriously. If you encounter a barrier while using ClassCaption — or if you have specific institutional accessibility requirements you would like to discuss — please contact us directly:
