The Flipsnack platform, including our website, player, and the flipbooks created within, is fully compliant with WCAG guidelines, adhering to ADA and Section 508 standards.
At Flipsnack, we’ve taken important steps toward making our website and flipbooks accessible. Explore our VPAT for more details.
Website accessibility
To ensure that all Flipsnack content on our public website is accessible to everyone, we have installed an accessibility widget provided by Sienna. You can view it in the lower right corner of our website. It allows people with specific disabilities to adjust our website’s UI (user interface) to fit their needs.
Browser and Assistive Technology Compatibility
Our site and widget support a wide array of browsers and assistive technologies so that users can choose the best-fitting tools with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, the public site and the accessibility widget support all the modern, major, and popular systems that comprise over 95% of the users’ market share and include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, Microsoft Edge, and I.E 11 or above, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Flipbooks accessibility
We are committed to providing all users with equal access to our digital content, regardless of their abilities. This reflects our dedication to accessibility and inclusivity and has led us to implement the Accessibility feature.
Accessibility on Flipsnack allows publishers to create summaries of flipbook pages for people with visual disabilities to improve visual approachability. If you're interested in enabling Accessibility, you can find more information in this article - How to make your flipbooks accessible in Flipsnack.
At Flipsnack, we believe that accessibility is a cornerstone of good design. That's why our flipbook player comes with clear labels for all buttons and interactive elements, making it easy to navigate by keyboard and fully compatible with screen readers:
- All player buttons are labeled and navigable by keyboard: previous page, next page, search button, download button, etc.
- All flipbook elements are labeled and navigable by keyboard: shapes, images, videos, hyperlinks, etc.
This widget helps your flipbooks meet key accessibility regulations automatically. It ensures compliance with:
-
WCAG 2.1 Level AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), published by the W3C
-
ADA Title III (Americans with Disabilities Act)
-
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act
-
EN 301 549 (European standard for digital accessibility)
-
EAA (European Accessibility Act)
Failing to meet digital accessibility requirements exposes organizations to lawsuits, harsh fines, loss of contracts, product bans, negative publicity, and erosion of consumer trust.
AI for accessibility
Now, with AI integration, you can also simplify your flipbook creation process. You can eliminate manual tasks such as copying and pasting for each page. Our technology simplifies your workflow by automatically generating content summaries for every page, saving you valuable time.
Or you can use another time-saving solution - the Extract flipbook text option. By using it you empower users to add the exact text from pages to the Accessibility panel for a one-on-one reading experience.
