Accessibility Information

Info

At Praxar we continuously are in the process of improving our Simulations and making them more accessible. Our designs are reviewed regularly in order to be closer to WCAG 2.0 standards.

Our Accounting Cycle simulation contains an audio option for the text spoken by the characters in the simulation. This can be easily toggled on or off. 

There is still a significant amount of text located in mini games, references and documents within the simulation. To enlarge the text, we recommended three ways:
1.  Use the magnification abilities of the internet browser. Our interfaces will display properly at up to 130% magnification and the contrast of colours make them easier on the eye.

2. Use the native Windows or MacOS magnifying tool.

3. Use a third-party computer magnification tool.
