Accessibility Statement

This is version 1 of this statement. We number versions instead of dating them. It describes the GearLogs application and this website as they are built today, and it is updated when the product changes.

1. Our Commitment

GearLogs is made to be used by everyone who runs a storeroom, an armoury or a clinic’s equipment — including people who work with a keyboard alone, with a screen reader, with larger text, or with less motion on screen. Accessibility is part of how the product is built and checked, not a layer added afterwards: every change to a screen is walked with the keyboard and measured for contrast before it ships, in English and in Hebrew.

2. The Standard We Measure Against

We measure the application and this website against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA. In Israel, the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, 5773–2013, refer to Israeli Standard 5568, which is based on WCAG 2.0 level AA; measuring against the newer 2.2 covers that standard.

3. What Is Built In

In the GearLogs application:

• Keyboard. Every control can be reached and used with the keyboard, and keyboard focus is always visible. A dialog keeps the keyboard inside it until it closes and is announced by its name; a group of choices is one stop, moved through with the arrow keys.
• Screen readers. Every field has a label, every icon-only button has a name, and the notification bell says how many notices wait. The language switch says what it does. Counted sentences are built from each language’s own plural rules.
• Colour and contrast. All five colour themes — Spec-Sheet, Light Mode, Dark Mode, Clinical (Medical) and Tactical (Army) — are measured for readable contrast against WCAG 2.2 AA, from the computed colours on screen. Meaning never rests on colour alone: a chosen option carries an edge as well as a tint, and a status carries a word.
• Text Size. Settings › Display has a Text Size setting with ten levels. The whole application follows it, tables included.
• Two languages. Every screen exists in English and in Hebrew, and the Hebrew layout is mirrored right-to-left as a whole, not translated in place.
• Motion. Movement on screen is short and functional, and the application honours the operating system’s “reduce motion” preference everywhere.
• Help in place. Each control’s explanation opens from its information icon on a click or a key press; nothing important is shown only on hover.
• Forms. A box that counts characters says its limit, and a refusal stays on screen under its field with the reason until you change it.

On this website:

• A “skip to content” link at the top of every page, headings in order, and a text alternative on every picture that carries information.
• The same contrast law as the application, in both languages, with the Hebrew pages laid out right-to-left.
• The motion on the home page comes to rest on its own and stays still when your system asks for reduced motion.

4. Known Limits

• GearLogs is a desktop web application. It needs a window at least 1,280 pixels wide and is not built for phones.
• Our checks are made in Chrome with the keyboard and the browser’s accessibility tree. We have not yet commissioned an audit by an outside accessibility expert; when we do, its findings will be listed here.
• Payment pages are served by Paddle, our merchant of record, and the human-verification step at sign-in by Cloudflare. Their accessibility is theirs to state; we chose them with it in mind.

5. Tell Us

If something in GearLogs or on this website stands in your way, write to [email protected] and tell us which screen, what you were trying to do, and what happened. A person reads and answers every message, and a barrier you report is treated as a defect to fix, not a request to consider.

6. Accessibility Coordinator

GearLogs is a product of RAQIOM. Until RAQIOM’s registration in Israel is complete, the accessibility contact is the address above; the coordinator’s name and telephone number will be published here once it is.
