At Albert, we're committed to building a platform that every student can access. This article explains how Albert approaches web accessibility, what that means for students who rely on assistive technologies, and how to request our accessibility documentation or braille-formatted content.

Albert has been evaluated against WCAG 2.2 AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.2, Level AA) and the Revised Section 508 standards published by the U.S. Access Board. Albert documents its degree of conformance with these standards in a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template). We do not publish our VPAT publicly, but we're happy to provide a copy upon request. To request Albert's VPAT, please email schools@albert.io.

- Text resizing — content can be zoomed beyond 200% without loss of functionality or content

- Color independence — information is never conveyed by color alone, supporting users with color vision differences

- Consistent navigation — page structure and navigation elements appear in the same location throughout the site, making it predictable for assistive technology users

- Student keyboard access — all student-facing question types and interactions are operable via keyboard

- Accessible authentication — the login process does not rely on cognitive function tests

- Accessible target sizes — interactive elements meet minimum size requirements to support users with motor impairments

For a complete picture of Albert's conformance across all WCAG 2.2 AA criteria, please request a copy of our VPAT.

Because Albert has been evaluated against WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is compatible with refreshable braille displays. Students using these devices can navigate and engage with Albert's content today, with no additional setup or configuration required.

For students who require printed (embossed) braille materials, Albert can provide content in .BRF (Braille Ready File) format upon request.

Because Albert's content often includes non-text elements — such as mathematical formulas, data tables, and images — our team converts these elements into detailed plain-text descriptions before generating .BRF files. This ensures that visually impaired students have full access to the information needed to understand and answer each question.

A few important notes about .BRF file requests:

- Content is converted on an as-needed basis. We do not maintain pre-converted .BRF versions of all content, but we can generate files for the specific subjects or question sets that a district requires.

- Each question is delivered as two separate files — one for the question itself, and one for the answer explanation, so districts can easily manage what students receive without inadvertently providing answers alongside questions.

- To request .BRF files, please contact us at schools@albert.io with the subject(s) or content you need.
