Accessibility statement

We want everyone who keeps the books for a small business to be able to use AcboBooks and this website. Here is what works today, what does not work well yet, and how to tell us.

acbobooks.com

The website

Pages use real headings, lists, tables and links, and declare English as their language, so screen readers and browser tools can find their way around.
Body text and the grey used for captions are chosen to meet WCAG AA contrast (at least 4.5:1 on their backgrounds).
Links, buttons and form fields are standard HTML controls that work with the keyboard. Screenshots in the Academy and the tour open full size with Enter or Space, step with the arrow keys and close with Esc.
Animations are switched off when your system asks for reduced motion.
Header photos that only decorate a page have empty alt text so screen readers skip them; screenshots carry a description.
Pages are built to reflow on narrow screens and at high browser zoom.

The Windows app

AcboBooks itself

Every button, field, menu and list item shows a clear focus outline when you move through it with the keyboard.
Tab and Shift+Tab move through forms; Esc closes menus. Search and name pickers work with the arrow keys, Enter and Esc.
Zoom the whole window with Ctrl + and Ctrl −, and Ctrl 0 to reset, or from the View menu. The app also follows Windows display scaling.
Negative amounts are shown in parentheses as well as in red, so colour is never the only signal.
Reports print, save as PDF or export to Excel and CSV, so you can read them in the tools you already use.

Known limits

What does not work well yet

We would rather tell you now than have you find out after you buy. The trial is free, so check that AcboBooks works with your setup first.

  • The app has not been tested with screen readers such as Narrator, NVDA or JAWS, and many of its controls do not yet have the labels a screen reader needs.
  • The app's menu bar opens with a click or Enter but cannot be moved through with the arrow keys or Alt-key shortcuts the way classic Windows menus can.
  • The app has not been tested with Windows contrast themes (high contrast).
  • The website has no "skip to content" link yet, so keyboard users tab through the header on every page.
  • Interactive charts and some calculators on the website may be hard to use with a screen reader. Where a page has a chart, the figures are usually given in a table or in the text as well.
  • Screenshots of the app are images; the steps beside them describe what to click in words.

Our goal

We aim for the website to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, and we use the same guidelines as the yardstick for the desktop app. We have not had either independently audited, and we do not claim formal conformance. We fix accessibility problems as we find them.

Tell us about a problem

If something on this site or in the app is hard to use with your keyboard, screen reader, magnifier or any other tool, please tell us. Say what you were trying to do, the page or screen, and the browser, assistive technology or Windows version you use.

We reply within one business day. If you need something from this site in another format, such as a help article as plain text or a price quote by email, ask and we will send it.
