About this file
This is an Accessibility Conformance Report for the SchemaAgent 2025 software product by Altova, documenting its compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and Revised Section 508 standards. The report, dated March 20, 2025, details the software's accessibility features for a JSON and XML Editor designed for developers, with tools including a graphical schema designer, code generation, file converters, debuggers, and profilers for working with various XML-related technologies.
The report provides a comprehensive assessment of the product's accessibility across multiple criteria, with most standards either "Supports" or "Partially Supports". Key limitations include partial support for keyboard control in visual editors, some specialized dialogs with non-standard focus order, and a noted lack of full support for users with limited cognitive abilities. The product supports screen readers, internal print enlargement, and operating system accessibility features. Documentation is available in HTML and PDF formats on Altova's website, and the company offers support services for accessibility and compatibility features.

Revised Section 508 Report
Chapter 3: Functional Performance Criteria (FPC) Notes:
Criteria Conformance Level Remarks and Explanations
302.1 Without Vision Partially supports
Our software does not fully support the speech component of ZoomText and Jaws with respect to focus. Also screen readers can correctly present all labels of menus and context menus.
302.2 With Limited Vision Supports
Our software supports the use of screen readers to access user interface information and has internal print enlarging technologies as well.
Users of Windows operating systems can change the DPI settings or access Screen Magnifier in the Accessibility Options or via the Ease of Access control panel section.
302.3 Without Perception of Color Supports
Our software does not require color perception for access to any application functionality.
302.4 Without Hearing Supports
Our software does not require user hearing for access to any application functionality.
302.5 With Limited Hearing Supports
Our software does not require user hearing for access to any application functionality.
302.6 Without Speech Supports
Our software does not require speech for access to any application functionality.
302.7 With Limited Manipulation Partially supports
Due to the visual nature of diagrams, some operations in our software may require discrete motor skills such as using the mouse to create a shape or to connect lines. However, our software supports operating system tools such as StickyKeys and FilterKeys, as well as screen magnification.
302.8 With Limited Reach and Strength Supports
Our software does not require reach or strength for access to any application functionality.
302.9 With Limited Language, Cognitive, and Learning Abilities
Does not support
Our software is a developer toolset and requires sufficient cognitive abilities to understand the natural complexity inherent in the XML Schema language.
