Accessibility Statement

Hey Cass is built for public agencies, and public agencies serve everyone. We want every PIO — and every evaluator reviewing this product — to be able to use it regardless of ability.

Our target

We aim for conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, across heycass.ai and the Hey Cass application. We do not claim full conformance today; this page states honestly where we are and where to reach us when something falls short.

What we practice

• Semantic HTML, labeled form controls, and keyboard-reachable interactive elements as the default way we build.
• Alternative text on meaningful images, and captions or transcripts for product video content as it's produced.
• Color choices checked for contrast against our design system, with state never conveyed by color alone.
• Reduced-motion preferences respected for animated interface elements.
• Accessibility flags baked into the product's own output: public drafts prompt for translation, ASL, and accessible-format review before release, because your community includes everyone too.

Known limitations

Some interactive and data-heavy areas of the application — live dashboards, drag-based controls, and third-party embedded content — have not yet been through a full assistive-technology audit. We are working through these areas, and a formal audit is planned as the product approaches general availability.

Tell us about a barrier

If you hit something that doesn't work with your screen reader, keyboard, or other assistive technology, email cass@heycass.ai with the page and what happened. Accessibility reports go to the people who build the product, and we prioritize fixes for barriers that block real work.
