Accessibility

Accessibility features

The O’Reilly learning platform uses semantic HTML markup under the hood and proper color contrast, and each is navigable by both the mouse and keyboard and reachable by screen readers. You can control font size, color scheme, and other typographical preferences along with support for video closed captioning, transcripts, and adjustable playback speeds.

Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT)

Working with Accessibility Partners, O’Reilly maintains and updates annually an assessment of the O’Reilly learning platform—including the web, iOS, and Android applications—using WCAG 2.1 AA standards as well as Section 508 standards. This assessment forms the basis of O’Reilly’s Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs). To request a copy of our most recent VPATs, please contact support@oreilly.com.
