Accessibility

A site everyone can use

portables.db is designed to be read and browsed without a mouse, with a screen reader, with enlarged text or with low contrast. This page says what is in place and what is not yet.

What is in place

• Keyboard: everything can be done with the keyboard. A “Skip to content” link appears on the first press of Tab, focus is always visible, and the system chips are navigated with the arrow keys.
• Screen reader: page landmarks (header, navigation, content, footer), a proper heading hierarchy, the number of results announced after each filter, tables with headers.
• Descriptions: every handheld has an introductory text, and every illustration has a description. Verdicts are written out in words, with a symbol: color never carries the information on its own.
• Low vision: text follows the font size chosen in your browser and the page zooms up to 200% without losing content. Body text has a contrast of at least 4.5 to 1, and button outlines at least 3 to 1.
• System preferences: the site respects “reduce motion”, “increased contrast” and the Windows forced-colors mode.
• Languages: each page states its language, and the language selector and suggestion banner are labeled in the language they offer.

What still needs improving

• The illustrations are generic diagrams drawn from the specs, not photos: their description says so. Photos will come with their credits.
• The site has not yet been audited for accessibility by a third party. It is therefore not declared compliant with a standard (WCAG or the French RGAA): these are good-faith efforts, checked with automated tools and with the keyboard.
• The English, Spanish, German and Portuguese versions are translations that have not been reviewed by native speakers.
