Accessibility
Media Moana should work for everyone who keeps photos with it and everyone they share them with. What we do toward that, where we fall short, and how to tell us.
Our Aim
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA across this site, the app and shared albums. No one has audited Media Moana against them yet, so this page says what we do rather than claiming that it conforms.
What We Do
Light and dark themes, which follow your system setting unless you choose one.
Where our orange is text, or has white text on it, we use a darker shade of it chosen to meet AA contrast.
When your system asks for reduced motion, animations and transitions are switched off.
Our public pages are rendered on our servers, so their content is in the page from the start rather than waiting for scripts to run.
The app is built from a standard set of interface components (MUI) made to support keyboard use and screen readers.
Where We Fall Short
The map of your library is drawn on a canvas, and needs a pointer and sight to use. Search reaches the same photos as the map: filter by country, state, county or nearest city.
The photo editor's controls work from the keyboard, and the arrow keys move the crop area; resizing the crop area by its handles needs a pointer, and judging a crop needs sight.
A screen reader hears a photo named by its file name — in a shared album, by its place in the album, such as “Photo 3 of 40”, then the caption its owner wrote, where there is one. Without a caption, nothing says what a photo shows.
Tell Us
If something on Media Moana is hard to use the way you browse, write to support@mediamoana.com with the page and what happened. We read every message, and fix what we can.
If you need something we have written in another format, ask at the same address.
