Information not available.
WCAG 2.1 compliant? Level of compliance (rating)?
The target for Cambridge Core is level AA. Please refer to CUP accessibility statement here: Accessibility
What is the maximum font size and does text re-flow when you enlarge the font?
The site is responsive and text re-flows when enlarged
Can a user change background/foreground colours or contrasts? How?
Most browsers include this functionality (e.g. in Firefox: Options -> Content -> Colors). There are also various plugins available (e.g. No Squint for Firefox).
Are there keyboard-only equivalents for all mouse actions? Where could I find a list? Are there short cut keys to reduce tabbing round links?
The publisher does use non-standard keyboard access keys as they don't behave consistently across various browsers and operating systems. They can also negatively affect screen readers.
Cambridge Core has been optimised for keyboard only use - the tab, arrows, spacebar and enter keys can be used to move around the pages. Additional plugins/software can also be used to allow more flexibility (e.g. Jaws with its standard keyboard shortcuts).
All pages include a "Skip to content" link, which allows users to bypass repetitive navigation links. It is accessible via keyboard and screen readers.
Is text marked up so it can be navigated in a meaningful way (for example by heading level)?
Yes. Semantic markup is used appropriately to designate headings (<h1>, <h2>, etc.), lists (<ul>, <ol>, and <dl>), emphasised or special text (e.g. <strong>, <code>, <abbr>, <blockquote>), etc. Text labels are associated with form input elements. The reading and navigation order is logical and intuitive.
Can text be selected and read by text-to-speech tools?
All HTML content and most of pdf content is fully available to screen readers. Where pdf content is presented as image only, the OCR layer has been added. CUP also welcomes requests to provide suitable formats for the reading impaired.
Are text descriptions available for all relevant graphics and images?
Alternative text is provided for all graphics and images (except for decorative images)
Where can I find guidance for all these features?
