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: Some informative images do not have a text alternative, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not be able to access the information conveyed by the image. This occurs on the following pages: Free to Paid User Subscription; Actions: Copy to Device; Actions: Combine Files; Actions: Share. Some images that act as a link or control do not have a text alternative, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not understand the function performed by each |
| 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: Content that is visually presented as a list is not properly marked up as a list, so the structure of the list is not correctly conveyed to assistive technologies and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following page: Settings. Text that visually functions as a heading is not marked up as a heading, so the structure of the content is not properly conveyed to assistive technologies and people who are blind and/or use a |
| 1.3.2 | Meaningful Sequence | A | Partially Supports | Software: The product presents most content in a meaningful sequence. Exceptions include: Some visually hidden content is announced by a screen reader, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may be misled or confused when hearing content that is not intended to be part of the reading order on the page. This occurs on the following page: Preferences. The order that the screen reader announces static content does not match the visual order of the content and changes the meaning of that content, so the intended meaning of the content will be lost or changed for people who are blind an |
| 1.3.3 | Sensory Characteristics | A | Supports | Software: Instructions do not rely solely on sensory characteristics. |
| 1.4.1 | Use of Color | A | Partially Supports | Software: Most functions of the product do not 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 pages: Edit Text; Edit: Clean Up; Edit: Mark Up; Preview Document. Color is the only visual method used to identify a link, and a link text's contrast ratio with the color of the surrounding text is less than 3:1, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may not be able to ide |
| 1.4.2 | Audio Control | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain audio that plays automatically. |
| 2.1.1 | Keyboard | A | Partially Supports | Software: Most product functionality can be operated through alternative input methods or keyboard interface. Exceptions include: An action cannot be performed when using a screen reader, so people who are blind and others who use a screen reader cannot perform this action. This occurs on the following pages: View Recent Scans; Edit Text; Edit: Retake - Adjust; Edit: Mark Up; Preview Document. An action cannot be performed using only a switch control, so people who use a switch control alone to navigate and operate content cannot perform this action. This occurs on the following pages: View Re |
| 2.1.2 | No Keyboard Trap | A | Supports | Software: This product does not include keyboard trap. |
| 2.1.4 | Character Key Shortcuts | A | Supports | Software: This success criterion technically doesn't apply to Native Android application. |
| 2.2.1 | Timing Adjustable | A | Partially Supports | Software: In most cases when a time limit exists, the user is given an option to turn off, adjust, or extend the time limit. Exceptions include: Some content visually appears and disappears with no ability to adjust how long the content is visible, potentially preventing people who are blind, have low vision, or have mobility or cognitive disabilities from locating or reading the content. This occurs on the following pages: Edit Text; Edit: Retake - Adjust; Actions: Copy to Device; Actions: Compress PDF; Actions: Rename; Actions: Combine Files; Actions: Save as JPEG; Organize Scans. |
| 2.2.2 | Pause, Stop, Hide | A | Partially Supports | Software: On most pages where moving, blinking, scrolling, or auto-updating information is present, that information can be paused, stopped, hidden, or otherwise controlled by the user. Exceptions include: The user cannot pause, stop, or hide content that automatically moves, blinks, or scrolls, so people who cannot read text quickly, have attention deficit disorders or other cognitive disabilities, or use a screen reader may not be able to read or understand the content. This occurs on the following page: High Speed Scan: Modal. |
| 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 title of the software describes its purpose. |
| 2.4.3 | Focus Order | A | Partially Supports | Software: Most components receive focus in a meaningful order. Exceptions include: Switch control focus or touch screen swiping goes to an element that is hidden or empty, so people who use a switch control to navigate content may become disoriented or confused. This occurs on the following page: Actions: Print. |
| 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 | Partially Supports | Software: Most functionality that can be operated with a pointer can be operated with single-point actions. Exceptions include: Functionality (excluding operating system, user agents [like a browser], or assistive technology functions) relies on path-based gestures that require the user to move the finger or pointer in a specific path or sequence, so people with motor disabilities or limited dexterity and people who use certain assistive technology to interact with the page will not be able to operate this functionality. This occurs on the following pages: View Recent Scans; Edit: Retake - Adj |
| 2.5.2 | Pointer Cancellation | A | Supports | Software: Product functions that use a single pointer are completed when the user releases the pointer. |
| 2.5.3 | Label in Name | A | Partially Supports | Software: In most product functions, accessible names of controls contain the text of their visible labels. Exceptions include: The accessible name of an interactive element (such as a link, button, or form input) does not contain the visible label, so people who use speech input to navigate and operate content will not be able to access the element. This occurs on the following page: AI Assistant - Read Aloud. 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 |
| 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 product relies on the features of the underlying operating system to set and indicate the language of the user interface. |

| 3.3.1 | Error Identification | A | Supports | Software: Where input errors are automatically, items in error are identified and error messages are provided as and conveyed to assistive technologies. |
| 3.3.2 | Labels or Instructions | A | Partially Supports | Software: Labels are provided for most input fields. Exceptions include: The label of an element is not persistent (always visible on the page), so the element's purpose may be difficult to discover. This occurs on the following pages: Search; Organize Scans. The label for a form field is missing, so the field's purpose is not clear. This occurs on the following page: Edit Text. Some visible Instructions for a form input field are not available for people who use assistive technology. This occurs on the following page: Actions: Combine Files. Some Instructions for a form input field are provid |
| 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 | The product is not implemented using markup languages. |
| 4.1.2 | Name, Role, Value | A | Partially Supports | Software: User interface components in most product functions do not provide programmatic [name, role, state, or value] information. Examples include: A button does 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: View Recent Scans; Edit: Retake - Adjust; Search; View All Scans. A button does not have a programmatic role, so its role (usually button, but sometimes link or something else) is not conveyed to |
| 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 | Does Not Support | Software: On most screens, The product restricts its view either landscape or portrait orientation. Exceptions include: When the display orientation is changed (from portrait to landscape or vice versa), the content does not adjust to the new orientation, so people who require a particular display orientation may not be able to access some of that content or functionality. This occurs on the following page: App Wide. |
| 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 | Partially Supports | Software: Most text meets minimum contrast requirements. Exceptions include: The color contrast ratio between text and its background is less than 4.5:1, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may have difficulty reading the text. This occurs on the following pages: Preferences; Edit Text; Edit: Retake - Adjust; Actions: Copy to Device; Actions: Compress PDF; Edit: Resize; Search; Edit: Delete; Actions: Print; AI Assistant Response Text Sharing; Settings - Subscriptions. The color contrast ratio between large text and its background is less than 3:1, so people who are colorblind or ha |

| 1.4.5 | Images of Text | AA | Supports | Software: The product uses text instead of images of text. |
| 1.4.10 | Reflow | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This success criterion technically doesn't apply to Native Android application. |
| 1.4.11 | Non-text Contrast | AA | Partially Supports | Software: Most meaningful non-text content elements have sufficient contrast. Exceptions include: The visual boundary of an interactive element (like a radio button or input field) does 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: Sign In; Preferences; Edit Text; Edit: Retake - Adjust; Edit: Clean Up; Edit: Mark Up. An icon (or part of the icon required to understand its content) does not have a 3:1 color contrast ratio with t |
| 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 | Not Applicable | Software: This success criterion technically doesn't apply to Native Android application. |
| 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 | Partially Supports | Software: Most headings and labels for form and interactive controls are informative. Exceptions include: A programmatic label for a control or form input field does not convey the purpose of the control or input, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may not understand what the control does or what data to enter. This occurs on the following pages: Edit Text; Edit: Retake - Adjust; Book Mode; Preview Document. Multiple buttons have identical programmatic labels but different functionality, and there is no programmatic context, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader wi |
| 2.4.7 | Focus Visible | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This criterion does not apply to non-web software. |
| 2.4.11 | Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This criterion does not apply to non-web software. |
| 2.5.7 | Dragging Movements | AA | Partially Supports | 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 on the following pages: Edit Text; Edit: Retake - Adjust; Actions: Combine Files; Reorder Pages. |
| 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 inline 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 | Supports | Software: Changes of language for passages or phrases can be programmatically determined. |
| 3.2.3 | Consistent Navigation | AA | Supports | Software: When navigational mechanisms are repeated in the product they occur in a consistent relative order. |
