Accessibility Statement

SingTone Technologies is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest possible audience, regardless of ability.

Website: singtonellc.com Statement Date: November 16, 2023

Compliance Status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this commitment, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Conforming with these guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor impairments, people with visual impairments, people with cognitive disabilities, and others.

This website utilizes various technologies intended to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows people with specific disabilities to adjust the website's user interface and design it according to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and continually optimizes its accessibility. This application remediates the website's HTML and adapts its functionality and behavior for screen readers used by blind users and keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

For accessibility-related questions or assistance, please contact us.


Screen-Reader and Keyboard Navigation

Our website implements Accessible Rich Internet Applications attributes, commonly known as ARIA, alongside various behavioral changes intended to help people using screen readers read, understand, and use the website's functions.

When a visitor using a screen reader enters the website, they may receive a prompt to activate the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate the website more effectively.

Screen-Reader Optimization

The accessibility application runs a process that evaluates the website's components from top to bottom to support ongoing accessibility as the website is updated. Through this process, screen readers are provided with meaningful information using ARIA attributes.

These adjustments may include:

  • Accessible labels for form fields
  • Descriptions for actionable icons
  • Validation guidance for form inputs
  • Element roles for buttons, menus, modal dialogs, and other interactive controls
  • Alternative descriptions for images that do not already contain appropriate alternative text
  • Recognition of text embedded within images using optical character recognition technology

Visitors may activate screen-reader adjustments at any time by pressing Alt + 1. Screen-reader users may also receive an automatic announcement regarding the availability of Screen-Reader Mode when they enter the website.

These adjustments are designed to be compatible with commonly used screen readers, including JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.

Keyboard Navigation Optimization

The accessibility application also adjusts the website's HTML and adds behaviors through JavaScript intended to make the website operable by keyboard.

Keyboard navigation features may include the ability to:

  • Navigate using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys
  • Operate dropdown menus using the arrow keys
  • Close menus and dialogs using the Escape key
  • Activate buttons and links using the Enter key
  • Navigate radio buttons and checkboxes using the arrow keys
  • Select controls using the Spacebar or Enter key

Keyboard users may access content-skip menus by pressing Alt + 2 or by navigating to the first focusable element on the page.

When popups or modal dialogs are opened, the accessibility application is intended to move keyboard focus into the active dialog and help prevent focus from moving outside it until the dialog is closed.

Additional keyboard shortcuts may include:

  • M for menus
  • H for headings
  • F for forms
  • B for buttons
  • G for graphics
