Digital Accessibility Audits

A Partnership for Authentic Inclusion

Many audits just check for technical compliance. As an organization empanelled with the Government of India, we deliver more. Our approach is rooted in the lived experience of our audit team, which includes persons with disabilities. We don’t just find problems; we provide the user perspective and the code-level solutions to create a genuinely seamless experience for your customers.

This commitment to a “lived experience” approach means our audit process is uniquely comprehensive. We blend rigorous, standards-based technical evaluation with invaluable insights from user testing, ensuring that the final product is not only compliant but also genuinely usable and empowering for every individual.

Samarthyam will conduct a detailed review of your digital platform (Web application/ Mobile-based APP) as per the following accessibility criteria. These criteria represent the globally accepted benchmarks and national legal requirements for digital accessibility in India, ensuring a thorough and authoritative audit.

• Design and Navigation: Assessing the ease of navigation using only a keyboard, screen readers, and other assistive technologies to ensure seamless user interaction.
• Visual Indicators: Verifying the presence of visual cues such as focus outlines, hover effects, and active states to enhance usability.
• Contrast, Colour, and Font Compliance: Ensuring appropriate contrast ratios between text and background, proper colour usage, and legible font sizes to support users with visual impairments.
• Text Alternatives for Images: Checking whether all non-text content, such as images and icons, includes descriptive alt text for compatibility with screen readers.
• Compatibility with Assistive Technologies: Validating that the application functions effectively with screen readers, speech recognition tools, magnifiers, and other assistive technologies.
• Interactive Element Accessibility: Ensuring forms, buttons, dropdown menus, and other interactive elements are accessible, properly labelled, and operable without a mouse.
• Error Identification and User Guidance: Reviewing error messages and form validation prompts to ensure they are clearly defined, descriptive, and assist users in correcting errors efficiently.
