Accessibility Status
At Bio Labs, we believe that the internet should be available and accessible to everyone, and our desire is to provide a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstances and ability. To achieve this, we strive to adhere as strictly as possible to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines according to the Israeli Standard SI 5568 at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Compliance with these guidelines helps us ensure that the site is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This site is accessible according to these guidelines, and in addition uses various technologies designed to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We use an accessibility interface that allows people with a specific disability and without a bridging screen reader to adjust the site’s user interface and design it to their personal needs.

Using a screen reader and keyboard navigation on our website
Our site implements the ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) feature technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure that blind users visiting our site with screen readers can read, understand, and enjoy the site’s functions. Once a user with a screen reader enters the site, they can enter the screen reader profile to browse and operate the site efficiently. This way, our site covers some of the most important requirements of screen readers:

Screen reader optimization: We provide screen readers with meaningful data through the ARIA attribute set. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogs (pop-up windows), and others. In addition, the background process scans all of the site’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful description based on image-object recognition as an ALT tag (alternative text) for images that are not described. It also extracts texts embedded in the image using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. To activate screen reader adjustments at any time, users only need to press the key combination Alt + 1. Screen reader users also receive automatic notifications to activate screen reader mode as soon as they enter the site. These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers including JAWS and NVDA.

Keyboard navigation optimization: The user has the ability to navigate the site using the Tab and Shift + Tab keys, operate and browse with the arrow keys, close with Esc, click links using the Enter key, navigate between radio buttons and checkboxes using the arrow keys, and fill them using the spacebar or Enter key. In addition, keyboard users will find menus for quick navigation and skipping content, available at all times on the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles jumps triggered by moving the keyboard focus toward them as soon as they appear, and prevents focusing outside of it. Users can also use shortcuts like "M" (menus), "H" (headings), "F" (forms), "B" (buttons), and "G" (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

In addition, the site uses a technological application from AccessPro and operates in the background. The role of this component is to optimize the accessibility level of our site. This application adapts the functionality and behavior of the site to screen readers/devices used by blind users and keyboard functions used by people with motor impairments with or without the use of any screen reader.

Accessibility profiles supported on our site

Epilepsy safe profile: This profile allows people with epilepsy to use the site safely by eliminating the risk of seizures resulting from flashing or blinking animations and dangerous color combinations.
Visually impaired profile: This profile adapts the site so that it is accessible to most visual impairments such as degrading vision, tunnel vision, cataracts, glaucoma, and others.
Cognitive disability profile: This profile provides various assistive features that help users with cognitive disabilities such as autism, dyslexia, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements more easily.
ADHD-friendly profile: This profile significantly reduces distractions and noise to help people with ADHD and neurological disorders browse, read, and focus on the essential elements more easily.
Blind users profile (screen readers): This profile adapts the site so that it is compatible with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen reader is installed on the blind user’s computer, and this site is compatible with it.
Keyboard navigation profile (motor impairment): This profile allows people with motor impairments to operate the site using the keyboard, Shift + Tab, and Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts like "M" (menus), "H" (headings), "F".

User interface, design, and readability adjustments available on our website

Font adjustments – Users can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
Color adjustments – Users can choose different color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. In addition, users can swap color schemes of headings, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
Animations – Users with epilepsy can stop all triggering animations at the click of a button. Interface-controlled animations include videos, GIFs, and flashing CSS transitions.
Content highlighting – Users can choose to highlight important elements such as links and headings. They can also choose to highlight only focused or hovered elements.
Audio muting – Users with hearing aids may experience headaches or other problems due to automatic audio playback. This option allows users to mute the entire site immediately.
Cognitive disorders – We use a search engine linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, enabling people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, acronyms, slang, and others.
Additional functions – We provide users with the option to change the cursor’s color and size, use print mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Browser compatibility and technological support
We strive to support as wide a range of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so that our users can choose the tools that suit them best, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that make up over 95% of the user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.

Comments, notes, and feedback
Despite our best efforts to allow everyone to customize the site to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of being made accessible, or lack a suitable technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are constantly improving our accessibility, adding, updating, and enhancing its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All of this is intended to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological progress.
And all this is for you and for your benefit and of course, in accordance with the changing legal requirements.
If you find a fault, if you are having difficulty using any aspect of the site, or if you have ideas for improvement, we would be happy to hear from you. You can contact us using the contact form on the site.
