All reported criteria (99)
| Criterion | Name | Level | Conformance | Remarks from vendor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1.1 | Non-text Content | A | Partially Supports | Software: The product provides sufficient text alternatives for most instances of the application. Exceptions include: A decorative image is not hidden from screen readers, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will have to navigate through unnecessary and duplicative text. This occurs on the following page: Noise Reduction Modal. Some complex images do not have a short text alternative, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not be able to understand the information available in each image. This occurs on the following pages: Noise Reduction Modal; Compression; P |
| 1.2.1 | Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded) | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain prerecorded audio-only or video-only media. |
| 1.2.2 | Captions (Prerecorded) | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain prerecorded synchronized media. |
| 1.2.3 | Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded) | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain prerecorded video content that would require audio description or a media alternative. |
| 1.3.1 | Info and Relationships | A | Partially Supports | Software: Most visual structure and relationship information is provided through object information or are available in text. Exceptions include: Some groups of form controls are not programmatically associated with their group label, so the purpose of individual controls in each group cannot be understood people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following pages: Parametric Equalizer; Noise Reduction Modal. |
| 1.3.2 | Meaningful Sequence | A | Does Not Support | Software: The product does not present most content in a meaningful sequence. Exceptions include: The screen reader skips and does not announce informative static content (text or images), so the intended meaning of that content will be lost or changed for people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs throughout the application. |
| 1.3.3 | Sensory Characteristics | A | Supports | Software: Instructions do not rely solely on sensory characteristics. |
| 1.4.1 | Use of Color | A | Does Not Support | Software: Most functions of the product convey information through color alone. Exceptions include: Color is used as the only method to convey information, so that information will not be available to people who are colorblind and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following page: Noise Reduction Modal. Color is used as the only method to convey the state (such as "checked," "pressed," or "selected") of some controls, so that information will not be available to people who are colorblind and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs throughou |
| 1.4.2 | Audio Control | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain audio that plays automatically. |
| 2.1.1 | Keyboard | A | Does Not Support | Software: Most product functionality cannot be operated through a keyboard interface. Exceptions include: Multiple functions cannot be performed using only the keyboard, so people who use the keyboard alone to navigate and operate content cannot use these functions. This occurs throughout the application. |
| 2.1.2 | No Keyboard Trap | A | Supports | Software: The product does not include keyboard traps. |
| 2.1.4 | Character Key Shortcuts | A | Supports | Software: The product provides character key shortcuts; it is only active when the relevant user interface component is in focus. |
| 2.2.1 | Timing Adjustable | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not include time limits. |
| 2.2.2 | Pause, Stop, Hide | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not include elements which move, blink, scroll, or auto-update. |
| 2.3.1 | Three Flashes or Below Threshold | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain flashing content. |
| 2.4.1 | Bypass Blocks | A | Not Applicable | Software: This criterion does not apply to non-web software. |
| 2.4.2 | Page Titled | A | Supports | Software: The titles describe the software purpose. |
| 2.4.3 | Focus Order | A | Supports | Software: Product functionality can be operated through a keyboard interface. |
| 2.4.4 | Link Purpose (In Context) | A | Supports | Software: The purpose of links in the product can be determined from the link text alone or from the programmatic context of the link. |
| 2.5.1 | Pointer Gestures | A | Supports | Software: The product does not rely on multipoint or path-based gestures |
| 2.5.2 | Pointer Cancellation | A | Supports | Software: Product functions that use a single pointer are completed when the user releases the pointer and allow the user to cancel the pointer action before completing the pointer click. |
| 2.5.3 | Label in Name | A | Does Not Support | Software: In most product functions, accessible names of controls contain the text of their visible labels. Exceptions include: An interactive element (such as a link, button, or form input) does not have an accessible name because its visible label is not programmatically associated with the element, so people who use speech input to navigate and operate content will not be able to access the element. This occurs on the following pages: Compression; Denoise; Ducking: Dialog; Ducking: Ambiance; Effects Rack; Export; Export Multitrack; Markers Panel; Mixer Balance; New Multitrack Session; Noise |
| 2.5.4 | Motion Actuation | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not have functionality operated by device motion or user motion. |
| 3.1.1 | Language of Page | A | Supports | Software: The language is programmatically determinable within the product. |
| 3.2.1 | On Focus | A | Supports | Software: Components do not initiate a change of context when focused. |
| 3.2.2 | On Input | A | Partially Supports | Software: Changes of context do not occur automatically on most user input. Exceptions include: When a user changes the setting of a user interface control (such as entering text in an input field or selecting a checkbox or radio button), it results in an unanticipated context change (such as opening a new window, moving focus to another element, or submitting a form), so people who have cognitive disabilities and others may be confused or disoriented. This occurs on the following page: Effects Rack. |
| 3.2.6 | Consistent Help | A | Supports | Software: On application pages that contain help features (including human or automated contact options or self-help options), those features occur in the same order relative to other page content unless the user changes that order. |
| 3.3.1 | Error Identification | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not detect input errors. |
| 3.3.2 | Labels or Instructions | A | Partially Supports | Software: Labels are provided for most input fields. Exceptions include: Select or dropdown control missing a visible label so the Select or dropdown control purpose is not clear. This occurs on the following page: Multitrack Session. The label for a form field is missing, so the field's purpose is not clear. This occurs on the following pages: Mixer Balance; Waveform Editor. |
| 3.3.7 | Redundant Entry | A | Supports | Software: If information previously entered by, or provided to, the user is required to be entered again in the same process, that information is either automatically populated or available for the user to select unless the previously entered information is no longer valid or re-entering the information is essential or required to ensure security. |
| 4.1.1 | Parsing | A | Supports | Software: The product is not implemented using markup languages. |
| 4.1.2 | Name, Role, Value | A | Does Not Support | Software: User interface components in most product functions do not provide programmatic name, role, state, or value information. Exceptions include: Multiple controls (such as a button or link) do not have a programmatic name, so its name (such as "Submit" or "Cancel") is not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies and will not be available to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following pages: Waveform Editor; Ducking: Dialog; New Multitrack Session; Noise Reduction Modal; Mixer Balance; Import; Multitrack Session; Effects Rack; Ducking: Ambiance; Expo |
| 1.2.4 | Captions (Live) | AA | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain live synchronized media. |
| 1.2.5 | Audio Description (Prerecorded) | AA | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain prerecorded video content that would require audio description. |
| 1.3.4 | Orientation | AA | Supports | Software: Content does not restrict its view and operation to a single display orientation. |
| 1.3.5 | Identify Input Purpose | AA | Not Applicable | Software: The product’s technology does not have support for programmatic identification of input purpose. |
| 1.4.3 | Contrast (Minimum) | AA | Does Not Support | Software: Most text meets minimum contrast requirements. Exceptions include: The color contrast ratios on hover or focus between the text labels of some controls and their background are less than 4.5:1, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may have difficulty reading the text label of each control. This occurs on the following pages: Effects Rack; Export Multitrack; Multitrack Session; Noise Reduction Modal; Ducking: Ambiance; Ducking: Dialog; Parametric Equalizer; Export; Import; Markers Panel; Mixer Balance; New Multitrack Session. The color contrast ratio between text and its ba |
| 1.4.4 | Resize text | AA | Supports | Software: The product allows operating system display scaling to resize text up to 200 percent without loss of content or functionality. |
| 1.4.5 | Images of Text | AA | Supports | Software: The product uses text instead of images of text, except for branding elements that are considered essential. |
| 1.4.10 | Reflow | AA | Does Not Support | Software: At the required width of 320 CSS pixels, most functions of the product do not meet this criterion. Exceptions include: When the page is adjusted to an equivalent width of 320 pixels and content reflows to fit within the viewport, some content or functionality becomes unavailable, so people with low vision who increase the size of text and other content using the browser zoom will not be able to access all of the page's content and/or functionality. This occurs throughout the application. |
| 1.4.11 | Non-text Contrast | AA | Does Not Support | Software: Software: Most of the boundaries and indicators of the visual state(s) of each active user component and any graphics required to understand content have a 3:1 color contrast ratio with adjacent color or their background. Exceptions include: The visual boundaries of some interactive elements (like a radio button or input fields) do not have a 3:1 color contrast ratio with the background, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may have difficulty perceiving the boundaries of the interactive element. This occurs on the following pages: Multitrack Session; Denoise; Ducking: Amb |
| 1.4.12 | Text Spacing | AA | Not Applicable | Software: The product is not implemented using markup languages. |
| 1.4.13 | Content on Hover or Focus | AA | Does Not Support | Software: In most product functions, content does not become visible and then hidden in response to pointer hover or keyboard focus. Exceptions include: Content that appears on mouse hover (such as tooltips, drop-down menus, or popups) disappears when the mouse pointer is moved over that content, meaning people with disabilities, especially people with low vision who need to magnify text, may not be able to read the additional content. This occurs throughout the application. Content that appears on mouse hover or keyboard focus (such as tooltips, drop-down menus, or popups) is not dismissible, |
| 2.4.5 | Multiple Ways | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This criterion does not apply to non-web software. |
| 2.4.6 | Headings and Labels | AA | Supports | Software: Headings and labels are descriptive. |
| 2.4.7 | Focus Visible | AA | Partially Supports | Software: Most focusable elements have a visible keyboard focus indicator. Exceptions include: Multiple interactive elements (such as links, buttons, or form inputs) do not have a visual focus indicator, so sighted people who use a keyboard to navigate content will not know when those elements are receiving focus. This occurs on the following pages: Mixer Balance; Effects Rack. |
| 2.4.11 | Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) | AA | Supports | Software: When a user interface component receives keyboard focus, the component is not entirely hidden due to author-created content. |
| 2.5.7 | Dragging Movements | AA | Does Not Support | Software: Most functionality that uses a dragging movement can be achieved by a single pointer without dragging, unless dragging is essential or the functionality is determined by the user agent and not modified by the author. Exceptions include: Some functionality relies on a dragging movement with no single-pointer, single touch alternative, making it difficult or impossible for persons with motor difficulties and users of assistive technology to perform the gesture throughout the application. |
| 2.5.8 | Target Size (Minimum) | AA | Supports | Software: The size of the target for each clickable control is at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels, except where the target size is determined by the user agent; there is a different control with equivalent functionality; the target is in line with text; the presentation of the target is essential to the function or otherwise exempted under the rule; or each control is spaced such that a 24-pixel circle placed around the bounding box of the control will not intersect any similar circle for another control. |
| 3.1.2 | Language of Parts | AA | Not Applicable | Software: Content is only presented in one language at a time. |
| 3.2.3 | Consistent Navigation | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This criterion does not apply to non-web software. |
| 3.2.4 | Consistent Identification | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This criterion does not apply to non-web software. |
| 3.3.3 | Error Suggestion | AA | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not detect input errors that are displayed to users. |
| 3.3.4 | Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data) | AA | Supports | Software: The product does not process legal commitments or financial transactions. When editing files changes to user-controllable data are reversible or can be confirmed before finalizing. |
| 3.3.8 | Accessible Authentication (Minimum) | AA | Supports | Software: A cognitive function test (such as remembering a password or solving a puzzle) is not required for any step in an authentication process unless either another method is available that does not rely on a cognitive function test; help is available to assist the user in completing the test; or the test is to recognize objects or identify non-text content the user provided to the application. |
| 4.1.3 | Status Messages | AA | Partially Supports | Software: In most cases, status messages can be programmatically determined and presented by assistive technologies without receiving focus. Exceptions include: A status message is not automatically announced by the screen reader, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may completely miss the status message or they may not hear it in a timely fashion. This occurs on the following pages: Import; Markers Panel. |
