  • Name of Product/Version: SortSite Desktop 6.46
  • Report Date: July 29, 2022

Evaluation Methods Used:

Windows: Manual testing with JAWS, NVDA, Narrator; High contrast mode; Grayscale display mode; Large fonts mode; Keyboard-only operation (tabbing and arrow keys). Automated testing with Accessibility Insights for Windows, Chrome DevTools and SortSite.

macOS: Manual testing with VoiceOver; Inverted-colors mode; Grayscale display mode; Keyboard-only operation (tabbing and arrow keys). Automated testing with Apple Accessibility Inspector, Chrome DevTools and SortSite.

Supports

Usable with JAWS, Narrator, NVDA screen readers on Windows and VoiceOver on Mac.

302.2 With Limited Vision

Supports

Usable with Mac/Windows screen magnifiers, Mac/Windows inverted colors mode and Windows high contrast mode.

Note: Windows versions up to 6.45 use contrast mode settings in effect at time app starts; versions 6.46 and later support dynamic contrast mode switching while app is running

302.3 Without Perception of Color

Supports

Usable with limited color perception, with Windows/Mac color filters and on monochrome monitors

302.4 Without Hearing

Supports

No audio output, so usable without hearing, in noisy environments and in office environments without headphones.

302.5 With Limited Hearing

Supports

No audio output, so usable without hearing, in noisy environments and in office environments without headphones.

302.6 Without Speech

Supports

No speech input

302.7 With Limited Manipulation
