Accessibility Statement

Audio Radar exists to make game audio visible. Airdrop Gaming builds hardware and software that give Deaf and hard-of-hearing gamers equal access to information hearing players get for free, designed and engineered in the USA, and built with the Deaf and hard-of-hearing gaming community, not just for it.

A store that only worked with sound on, or a demo that needed a mouse, would make that mission ring hollow. So this page puts our standard for audioradar.com in writing: what we hold ourselves to, where we stand today, and how to tell us when we miss.

What we hold this site to

audioradar.com is designed and built to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. In practice, that means:

• Nothing requires hearing. Videos are captioned, demos work with the sound off, and no information lives in audio alone. Where captions can't carry it, we provide a transcript.
• Everything works from a keyboard. Menus, galleries, forms, and interactive demos operate without a mouse, with a visible focus indicator.
• Strong contrast, readable type. Text and interface color pairings are checked against WCAG AA contrast ratios, in the light parts of the site and the dark ones.
• Plain language. Short sentences, concrete words. Many gamers in our community read English as a second language, including Deaf gamers whose first language is a signed one, and nobody should have to fight the copy to understand the product.
• Real structure. Proper headings, form labels, and alt text, so screen readers and other assistive technology get the same page as everyone else.

No overlay widgets

We don't use accessibility overlay widgets, and we won't. Overlays promise a one-click fix, and in practice they often interfere with the assistive technology people already use. We'd rather do the slower thing: build accessibility into the site's design and code, and fix problems at the source.

Where we are today

Honest answer: a work in progress. This site is actively built and reviewed against WCAG 2.2 AA, but we won't claim perfection. Some pages, images, or third-party features (checkout, reviews, embedded video players) may fall short of the standard today. When we find a gap, it goes on the fix list. When you find one first, tell us: the section below is exactly for that.

Beyond the website

The same standard applies to the product. The Audio Radar desktop app's guided setup is fully visual: every step, from connecting cables to testing the light bars, is confirmed by what you see on screen. Nothing in setup depends on your hearing. And support happens over email, so getting help never requires a phone call.
