Turbosoft is proud to announce, that with the release of TTerm Connect 2.2.0, our web-based terminal emulator is now aligned with WCAG 2.2 Level AA, an internationally recognized accessibility standard for digital products.
This release marks an important milestone in our commitment to accessibility, usability, and inclusive design.
Why Accessibility Matters
Accessibility is about ensuring that everyone — regardless of ability, device, or environment — can access and use digital products effectively. This includes people who are blind or have low vision, are deaf or hard of hearing, have mobility or motor impairments, cognitive differences, or temporary limitations such as injury. It also benefits users in everyday situations such as bright sunlight, noisy environments, limited bandwidth or hands-free use.
An accessible web application is a fundamental component of good design and not just for users with specific accessibility needs. By removing barriers, we create a more inclusive experience and improve usability for everyone.
What is WCAG?
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops international standards for the web. One of its key initiatives is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) , a globally recognized framework that defines how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities.
- Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable in ways users can perceive.
- Operable: Interface components and navigation must be usable via keyboard and other input methods.
- Understandable: Information and operation of the interface must be clear, understandable and predictable.
- Robust: Content must work reliably with assistive technologies such as screen readers and voice control software.
What This Means for Our Users
Designing for WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance means our application has been overhauled and tested against rigorous accessibility standards. Users can expect clearer navigation, improved keyboard accessibility, better focus indicators, enhanced support for assistive technologies, and more predictable, consistent interactions.
A detailed breakdown of how TTerm Connect substantially conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA can be found in our VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) document, available through the Support Downloads section of this website.
The Future
Accessibility is not a one-time achievement but an ongoing commitment. With future releases of TTerm Connect we will continue to monitor, test, and improve our platform to ensure it remains inclusive, usable, and aligned with evolving best practices.
By prioritizing accessibility, we are building a better experience for everyone.
