Accessibility statement

Scope

This statement covers rembrandtapp.com, both the public pages and the editor itself.

It doesn’t cover content produced using Rembrandt Editor. That remains the responsibility of the person or organisation publishing it.

Conformance status

Rembrandt aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. It has not been independently audited. The standards being worked to are also EN 301 549 (the EU technical standard for ICT accessibility) and the accessibility guidance in the UK Government Service Manual.

This statement reflects the position as of 15 May 2026.

What’s been done

The Rembrandt Editor interface has been built with the following accessibility features:

  • Semantic HTML structure, using header, main, navigation, section, article and footer elements appropriately

  • A skip-to-main-content link for keyboard users

  • Visible focus indicators on every interactive element

  • Keyboard operation throughout — every control can be reached and activated without a mouse

  • Inside the feedback dialog, Tab and Shift+Tab cycle through the fields without escaping to the page behind; when the dialog closes, focus returns to the button that opened it; Escape closes the dialog

  • ARIA labelling: regions, groups and dialogs are named; toggle buttons expose their pressed state; the dialog is announced as a dialog; error messages are marked as alerts

  • Status announcements through ARIA live regions when a review starts, completes or fails; when content is copied to the clipboard; when a PDF loads; when feedback is sent

  • Form fields paired with associated labels, including screen-reader-only labels where the visible label would be redundant

  • Section headings in a logical hierarchy

  • A sticky in-review navigation that lets keyboard and screen-reader users jump between Summary, Issues, Flags and Rewrite sections of a long review

  • The prefers-reduced-motion setting is honoured; animations and transitions are disabled for anyone who has reduced motion enabled in their browser or operating system

  • Mobile-responsive layout with a dedicated mobile navigation menu

  • Decorative icons and emoji are hidden from assistive technology; meaningful icons carry text labels

  • Severity is never conveyed by colour alone; every coloured flag also carries a text label

Known limitations

Some things are known not to work well or have not yet been verified. Reporting any of these is welcome.

The following are known to need work or have not yet been independently verified:

  • No formal third-party accessibility audit has been conducted.

  • No formal testing has been carried out with users of assistive technology. Manual testing with NVDA on Windows and VoiceOver on macOS and iOS is planned.

  • The coloured severity labels in review issues (Attention, Consider, Note) use coloured text that may fall below WCAG 2.2 Level AA contrast minimums when read against the white card background. Severity is also indicated by a written word and a coloured dot, so the colour is not the only way the information is conveyed, but the labels will be reworked.

  • Real-time announcements of dynamic content (the review completing, feedback being acknowledged) are implemented through ARIA live regions, but the actual behaviour has not been verified across the major screen readers and may vary.

  • The PDF upload feature is in beta. Text extracted from PDFs may lose structural information (headings, lists, tables) that assistive technology relies on. For people using a screen reader, pasting text directly is more reliable than uploading a PDF.

These are being worked on. Dates aren’t being put against them yet because doing so honestly would mean overpromising.

Languages

Rembrandt analyses English-language text only. The interface is in English only. No translated versions are currently planned.

How to report a problem

Email [hello@rembrandtapp.com]. Useful information to include:

  • What you were trying to do
  • What didn’t work
  • The browser and operating system you were using
  • The assistive technology you were using, if any
  • The page or feature where the problem happened

Accessibility reports are read before other messages.

Enforcement

If you’re not satisfied with the response, you can escalate depending on where you are.

United Kingdom. The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) enforces the Equality Act 2010, which covers accessibility of
services to disabled people. Their website explains how to make a complaint: equalityhumanrights.com.

European Union. Each member state has designated an enforcement body under the European Accessibility Act. The European Commission
maintains the list of national bodies. If you’re in the EU, your national accessibility body is the place to start.

United States. Complaints about accessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act can be filed with the US Department of Justice
Civil Rights Division: ada.gov. Section 508 applies to federal procurement and isn’t directly enforceable against private services by individual users.

Technical information

Rembrandt is a single-page application built with React. It uses the Anthropic API to generate analysis. JavaScript is required for the editor to function; there isn’t currently a non-JavaScript fallback.

The site is served over HTTPS. It works in current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.
