Accessibility Statement

Last updated: June 27, 2026

Purchase Compass is built and maintained by Karl Lazer. We want everyone — including users who rely on assistive technology — to be able to scan, organize, and learn from their receipts.

Standard we target

We target conformance with WCAG 2.1, Level AA. Our UI is built on the Radix / shadcn primitives, which provide keyboard navigation, focus management, and ARIA semantics out of the box.

What we do today

• Semantic HTML, single <main> landmark per page, descriptive page titles.
• Keyboard reachable interactive elements with visible focus states.
• Form inputs paired with visible labels.
• Color is not the only means of conveying meaning.
• Icon-only controls labeled with aria-label.
• Responsive layouts that work down to small mobile widths.

Known limitations

• The receipt drop zone supports drag-and-drop. Users who can't drag should use the Take Photo, Choose Image, or Choose PDF buttons next to it — those are the canonical paths.
• Charts in the analytics section convey information visually. The underlying numbers are listed in the receipts library; CSV export is available for screen-reader-friendly review.
• Generated PDF reports are styled for print; they may not be fully tagged for screen-reader navigation yet.

Report an issue

If you hit an accessibility barrier, please tell us so we can fix it. Email digital.karllazer@gmail.com with the page URL, what you were trying to do, and which assistive technology you use. We aim to respond within 5 business days.

Compatibility

Purchase Compass is tested with the latest two versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, and with VoiceOver on macOS/iOS and NVDA on Windows. Older browsers may degrade gracefully but are not actively tested.
