Accessibility Statement

OpenGenius Ltd

Last updated: August 2026

Next review: February 2027 / as accessibility standards and user needs evolve

What this statement covers

This statement applies to:

Where a limitation applies to only one of these, it is identified.

Our commitment

Study Slam is built by OpenGenius, the team behind Ayoa: DSA-approved software recommended by needs assessors and Assistive Technology professionals across the UK.

Accessibility is not a compliance exercise bolted onto this product. Study Slam exists because conventional revision tools do not work for a great many students, including neurodivergent students, students with specific learning difficulties, students with mental health conditions, and students with physical or hidden disabilities. We hold our own website and app to the standard we ask our product to meet.

We are working towards full conformance with WCAG 2.2 level AA. Where we currently fall short, we say so on this page.

Compliance status

Study Slam is partially conformant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 level AA.

“Partially conformant” means that the great majority of content meets the accessibility standard, verified by internal automated and manual testing. A small number of these areas have not yet been formally tested and are listed under “Areas we are still testing” below. Full independent verification is pending.

We also work to EN 301 549, the standard used in UK and European public sector and education procurement. An Accessibility Conformance Report will be published following the independent audit described below.

Accessibility features we have tested

The following are not aspirations. Each has been verified by testing, and we welcome independent verification of any of them.

Colour and contrast

Study Slam offers three colour schemes: Light, Dark, and a Dyslexia-friendly tinted theme. All three meet or exceed the WCAG AA minimum contrast ratio across the interface. Many products offer a dark mode that has never been contrast-tested. Ours has been, and so has the dyslexia-friendly theme.

Keyboard operation

The interface is operable by keyboard, including our drag-and-drop sorting questions. These can be completed entirely using the space bar and arrow keys, with spoken confirmation at each step. This satisfies WCAG 2.2 success criterion 2.5.7 Dragging Movements: a requirement added in 2023 specifically because so many interactive products fail it.

Reduced motion

Study Slam respects the operating system “reduce motion” preference and suppresses non-essential animation when it is enabled.

Typography and reading comfort

Typeface, text size and spacing can all be changed, including a dyslexia-friendly font. These controls are in a dedicated Accessibility panel, positioned as the first tab in Settings rather than buried in a submenu.

Structure and navigation

Pages use landmark regions, a skip-to-content link and standard interface controls, so that people using screen readers or keyboard navigation can move through the interface efficiently. Every image carries appropriate alternative text.

Audio and alternative formats

Study Slam can convert written revision material into audio lessons, giving students a non-visual route through their own content.

Video and captions

All videos on our website and within Study Slam carry human-verified captions. Automatic captioning is used only as a first draft; every caption track is reviewed and corrected before publication.

Our videos have been assessed against the requirement for audio description: the visual content is illustrative and the audio conveys the full message, so no separate described track is needed.

Non-accessible content

The content below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility standard

No known WCAG 2.2 issues are currently outstanding in the web app, following remediation and internal retesting completed in August 2026. Recently resolved issues include heading structure, element labelling, focus management, list semantics, touch target sizing and grouping of related controls. This area will be updated further following independent auditing.

Areas we are still testing

We would rather tell you what we have not yet checked than imply we have checked everything.

What we are doing to improve accessibility

We have commissioned an independent accessibility audit of the Study Slam website and applications against WCAG 2.2 level AA and EN 301 549, to be completed by Winter 2026. We will publish its findings on this page and update this statement to reflect them.

Accessibility is reviewed as part of our design and development process, and testing with Assistive Technology is being built into our release checks. Where we identify a barrier, we log it, fix it, and record it here until it is resolved.

Reporting accessibility problems

We are always looking to improve the accessibility of Study Slam. If you find a problem not listed on this page, or you think we are not meeting accessibility requirements, please tell us at support@studyslam.com We take these reports seriously and they go directly to the product team.

Preparation of this statement

Study Slam was last tested in August 2026. Testing was carried out internally using automated tooling (axe-core 4.10.2) together with manual keyboard testing and inspection of assistive technology semantics and included a targeted follow-up review of items previously logged as outstanding. An independent audit has been commissioned and had not been completed at the time of writing.
