Our commitment

A clear accessibility target

SAARTHI aims for WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the international accessibility standard, in its main web tasks (logging in, assessments, getting help) and in generated documents. Accessibility is checked while pages are designed, built and reviewed, and again before each update goes live, not once.

  • Keyboard access

    The main tasks are built to work with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline and a link that skips to the page content.

  • Responsive presentation

    Core pages are built to fit phone screens and to stay readable when you zoom in.

  • Readable structure

    Pages use proper headings, named buttons and fields, and text descriptions of pictures, and never show a status by colour alone.

  • Language access

    Key steps, help and the login form’s own messages, at the top of the form and under each field, have a Hindi line, and the TCA questions are given in full in both languages. The legal notices are in English, with a Hindi line on what each covers. The wording still awaits the approved language review.

Known limitations

Problems still being fixed

We publish these limitations so users can make an informed choice and request an alternative. We are working on each of these; none is accepted as permanent.

  • Some older pages are still being checked for repeated page regions, buttons without names, and touch targets that are too small.Being fixed
  • Some generated PDF files are still being checked for Hindi fonts, reading order, tags, and how they work with screen readers.Being fixed
  • Most screens after you log in are in English only for now, and Hindi has not yet been checked across every download.Being fixed
  • Picking up an assessment after the internet drops is not yet confirmed: the live assessment must first pass a full test of losing and regaining the connection.Being fixed
  • The two archived TCA walkthrough videos have English and Hindi subtitles in the picture, but no separate text version yet. To get a video’s steps in writing, send an accessibility request.Being fixed
