Accessibility Statement for royalstuttgart.de

This statement applies to content published under the domain royalstuttgart.de.
It may not apply to other content or websites hosted on subdomains. Such pages may have their own specific accessibility statements.
This website is managed by Hotel Royal OHG. It is designed to be usable by as many people as possible, including individuals with disabilities.
We are committed to complying with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the European standard EN 301 549 v.3.2.1, and the national accessibility regulations applicable in all EU member states. These standards ensure that digital content is accessible to people with a wide range of impairments.

Accessibility Features

To support this goal, the website uses the Wawsome Accessibility Widget, which offers the following tools and features:

UI and Readability Adjustments

  • Color Adjustments: Change contrast, saturation, or switch to monochrome for improved readability.
  • Text Adjustments: Modify the font (including a dyslexia-friendly option), font size, letter and line spacing, and text alignment.
  • Stop Animations: Pause all on-screen motion to reduce distractions and improve focus.
  • Content Highlighting: Highlight important elements like links and headings for easier navigation.
  • Mute Sounds: Instantly disable all audio on the website.
  • Hide Images: Hide all images to reduce visual stimuli if desired.
  • Cursor Adjustments: Enlarge the cursor or enable a reading guide to assist with focus.

Screen Reader Optimizations

AI-based tools continuously analyze the website and inject ARIA labels and ALT text where these attributes are missing or not compliant with standards. This ensures compatibility with screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. The AI also adjusts the semantic HTML structure to create a clearer navigation hierarchy for assistive technologies.

Keyboard Navigation

The website is fully operable using only a keyboard. Features include:
  • Navigation using Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Arrow Keys, and Spacebar
  • Automatic focus management for interactive elements such as pop-ups

Text-to-Speech

The widget includes a Text-to-Speech feature that allows content to be read aloud in different modes:
  • Read All Text
  • Read Selected Text
  • Read on Hover
Users can also enable visual highlighting of the spoken content, highlighting words, sentences, or both to support better comprehension.
