Our Accessibility Measures

Scite takes the following measures to ensure and maintain accessibility:

  • Accessibility is an explicit part of our product quality standards.
  • We assign clear accessibility goals and internal ownership across engineering and design teams.
  • All new features are reviewed against WCAG 2.2 AA criteria before release.
  • We use the UserWay accessibility widget to monitor and surface any gaps not addressed in our native code.
  • We run automated accessibility scans using internal tooling (pa11y) across core user flows on every deployment.
  • We incorporate user feedback on accessibility barriers and respond promptly.

  • Self-evaluation — Engineering and QA review of new features against WCAG 2.2 success criteria.
