Accessibility Statement

We strive to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standard issued by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and use the Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) specification. For organizations that require it, we can provide a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT 2.5 INT) summarizing how IB Mock aligns with WCAG 2.x, Revised Section 508, and EN 301 549.

We routinely scan IB Mock using axe-core (Deque Systems), the industry-standard automated accessibility testing engine. Our scans cover both public marketing pages and the core authenticated learning experience, including Interview Setup, Live AI Mock Interviews, Interview History, Evaluation & Feedback, Focused Review, Performance Analytics, Community Showcase, and Leaderboard.

Every interactive element in IB Mock — buttons, links, form controls, tabs, dialogs, dropdowns, sliders, and filter menus — is designed to be operable with a keyboard, and we routinely test core flows using keyboard-only navigation. A "Skip to main content" link is available on every page for users who navigate past navigation using keyboard shortcuts. Visible focus indicators appear when navigating with the keyboard.

IB Mock is built with semantic HTML landmarks, WAI-ARIA attributes, and accessible component primitives, providing the structure and announcements that assistive technologies rely on. Content regions are labeled with proper landmark roles (<header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer>) and interactive components expose correct names, roles, and states.

IB Mock's live AI voice-to-voice mock interviews display a real-time synchronized text transcript alongside the conversation. This allows learners who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who prefer reading over listening, to follow along with the full interview. Transcripts are generated from speech recognition and may not capture every word with complete accuracy in noisy environments or for non-standard accents, but they provide a full-content alternative to the audio.

Every completed mock interview is saved with a full synchronized text transcript accessible directly from the audio player on the interview detail page. This lets learners revisit their interviews in whichever format works best for them — listening, reading, or both.

All text is designed to meet the WCAG AA minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, and we spot-check contrast in our core interfaces. IB Mock supports both light and dark modes, and both themes maintain sufficient contrast. Content reflows correctly at increased browser zoom levels without loss of information or requiring horizontal scrolling.

IB Mock respects the prefers-reduced-motion operating system preference. When this preference is enabled, animations and transitions throughout the platform are effectively disabled, providing a calmer experience for users who are sensitive to motion.

Accessibility is a foundational principle of our internal component library. Our interactive elements — dialogs, dropdowns, popovers, tabs, switches, sliders, selects, and form controls — are built on accessible primitives (Radix UI) that provide focus management, keyboard navigation, and ARIA semantics out of the box. This ensures that new features inherit accessibility by default rather than as an afterthought.

Accessibility is not a one-time project. We continuously audit new features against our accessibility standards, monitor automated test results on every release, and welcome feedback from our users. If you encounter a barrier or have suggestions for improvement, we want to hear about it.

While we aim for a high level of accessibility, some areas of the platform may not yet fully meet our standards. We prioritize fixing confirmed accessibility issues as part of our regular development process.

IB Mock is primarily tested on modern versions of Chrome, Safari, and Edge on desktop and mobile.

IB Mock strives to conform to the following accessibility standards:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA
• Revised Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (United States)
• EN 301 549 — Accessibility requirements for ICT products and services (European Union)
• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title III effective communication requirements
