Accessibility in Webex Campaign

Accessibility refers to making products usable for people with visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and other disabilities. Examples of accessibility features for software products include semantically structured content, screen reader support, text equivalents for graphics, keyboard shortcuts, and so on.

Support for assistive technology

We strive to make the Webex Campaign application as usable as possible by the below assistive technologies,

Recommended Screen Readers and Browsers

Operating SystemScreen ReaderRecommended Browser
macOSJawsGoogle Chrome, latest version

We have tested thoroughly using Jaws and addressed how different labels and buttons are read by the Jaws screen reader.

The NVDA screen reader using Windows OS is also supported but it is not certified.

Accessibility features

Contrast and color

The Webex Campaign user interface strives to provide enough contrast in the application to ensure an accessible viewing experience for users with low vision or color deficiencies.

Large text and headings have been enhanced to meet a 3:1 contrast ratio.

All UI elements and buttons have been designed to improve the contrast between background and foreground colors.

User interface

The Webex Campaign user interface makes it easier for all users to interact with content by adding alternative texts to visual elements to convey information both visually and programmatically.

When the user leaves a required field blank, a graphic indicates visually which field is in error with error message text and that same information is conveyed programmatically to users with the screen readers.

Content that appears on hover or focus can be dismissed by the user and does not obscure other content.

Alternative texts for images and accessible names for buttons can be read aloud with assistive technology instead of relying solely on visual cues for identifying elements.

Navigation and Shortcut keys

You can navigate using the tab of your keyboard. When you have navigated to an element such as a button, press Enterperform the click action.

Shortcut Keys

All the shortcut keys provided by Jaws will work on Webex Campaign. For example,

Shortcut-keyAction
Ctrl + Right Arrow keyTo move to the next cell in a table
Ctrl + Left Arrow keyTo move to the previous cell in a table
Escape keyTo bypass an HTML code block

Exclusions from Accessibility

There are few screens that do not support accessibility, because these screens require users to design the screens by dragging the elements on the design canvas:

  • Deployment creation screen
  • Drag-and-drop Email Composer
  • Drag and drop Landing Page Builder
  • Drag and Drop Partial Builder
  • Reports Wizard

We are working hard to make the above screens accessibility compliant in the upcoming releases.
