Fotoware compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - WCAG

As of December 2020, Fotoware offers WCAG 2.0 AA compliance for both on-premises (FR16 onwards) and FotowareSaaS.

Fotoware WCAG adherence is implemented in the Fotoware Main interface. It is available for all operations that users who consume data on the site need to work with the site's content. There is no need to enable anything to make it work on your site.

For a full specification of WCAG, see https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/

Text and metadata input fields

All text and metadata input fields have a matching description explicitly associated with the area to ensure that assistive technology users also know what the area is for.
