Accessibility Statement

Last updated: August 20, 2026

We want SeeNote, a tool whose entire purpose is making dense documents easier to read, to be usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technology. This statement covers the seenote.co website and the SeeNote Chrome extension.

Standard we aim for

We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the standard referenced by most accessibility regulations worldwide.

What is implemented on this website

• Semantic HTML landmarks (navigation, main content, sections with labeled headings) for screen reader navigation.
• Full keyboard operability: every interactive element, including the live demo's note windows, can be reached and activated with a keyboard. The arrow keys move a demo window, + and - zoom it, p pins it, and Escape closes it, so nothing there depends on dragging a pointer. They are the extension's own keys.
• Text alternatives: decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology; meaningful controls carry accessible names via ARIA labels.
• Color contrast meeting AA ratios for body text against the dark background, and information never conveyed by color alone.
• Reduced motion: all scroll and hover animations are disabled when your system requests prefers-reduced-motion.
• Responsive layout that supports 200% zoom and reflows on small screens without horizontal scrolling.

The extension

Keyboard-first operation is a core design goal of SeeNote, not an accessibility afterthought: opening, chaining, and closing note windows works entirely from the keyboard, and windows are announced to screen readers as dialogs with focus management. Pressing ? on any filing opens a panel listing every shortcut, along with what each button in a note window's header does. Those buttons carry icons, and a tooltip hides their meaning behind a hover that most people never perform.

The notes index is a keyboard-navigable dialog: open it with S, filter or arrow-key through every note in the filing, press Enter to open one in the same window, and Escape to close, with focus returning to where you were reading. Screen readers announce it as a dialog containing a listbox of notes. When a filing has no detectable notes, the panel says so instead of showing an empty list.

We will publish an updated statement covering the shipped extension at launch.

Known limitations

• The interactive demo reproduces authentic EDGAR filing formatting, including justified text and dense financial tables. This mirrors the real reading environment but is inherently visually dense; the demo content is also provided in the surrounding descriptive text.
• SEC filings themselves are third-party documents; SeeNote displays them verbatim and cannot repair accessibility deficiencies in the underlying filing.
