Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT)
Last updated: June 2026
This Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) summarizes how the eCourtDate platform conforms to recognized accessibility standards, including WCAG 2.2 AA, the Revised Section 508 standards, and the ADA. It covers both the staff administrative interface and the public-facing portals, messages, and documents, across web, text, email, and voice.
eCourtDate is built to be accessible to people with disabilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnification, and voice recognition software. The platform is tested and improved on an ongoing basis to keep it inclusive for everyone an agency serves.
This page is the public conformance summary. The full signed VPAT (Revised Section 508 edition) is available to procurement teams on request at info@ecourtdate.com.

Applicable standards
This report is evaluated against the following standards:
- WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C in October 2023.
- Revised Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which incorporates WCAG 2.0 Level AA by reference. Building to WCAG 2.2 AA meets and goes beyond those criteria.
- ADA Title II and Title III. Under the Department of Justice 2024 ADA Title II rule, state and local governments must conform their web content and mobile apps to WCAG 2.1 AA. eCourtDate builds its public-facing interfaces to WCAG 2.2 AA to help your agency meet that requirement.
Note: The conformance terms below follow the VPAT convention. "Supports" means the criterion is met. This summary is provided for procurement awareness and is not legal advice. Confirm your agency's obligations with counsel.

Multichannel accessibility
Because eCourtDate reaches people by text, email, voice, and chat, accessibility extends across every channel. Recipients can convert audio to text with speech-to-text, convert written notices to audio with text-to-speech, and reach the court through Telephone Relay Service (TRS) and TTY. People choose the channel and language that work for them.

- Full keyboard operability across the admin interface and public portals.
- Compatibility with screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.
- Speech-to-text and text-to-speech for every message.
- Captions and transcripts for multimedia content.
- WCAG 2.2 AA color contrast and visible focus indicators.
- Plain-language templates written for the broadest possible audience.
- Message delivery in over 100 languages with automatic language detection.
- Telephone Relay Service and TTY support for people with hearing or speech disabilities.
