To improve the accessibility of products and services for people with disabilities, the European Union Accessibility Directive was adopted on 17 April 2019. Member States have already incorporated this directive into their laws. On 28 June 2025, companies will have to comply with the requirements of this directive.
While these requirements may seem complex at first, the right partner can help ensure compliance without unnecessary complications. Skrivanek Baltic offers expert advice and solutions to help businesses not only meet the requirements, but also gain a competitive advantage by improving multilingual digital accessibility. Businesses that implement accessibility requirements on time will not only avoid legal risks, but also expand their customer base and improve their digital presence.
What is text comprehensibility audit?
A text comprehension audit is a process that assesses the accessibility and comprehensibility of your website or digital materials for different groups of society, including people with disabilities. This audit helps to ensure that your content complies with the requirements of the European Union Accessibility Directive, which comes into force on 28 June 2025.
Why is this important?
Accessibility Directive stipulates that all companies must ensure that their digital products and services are accessible to all users, regardless of their physical abilities. This includes websites, e-commerce platforms, mobile apps, and other technologies. Compliance with these requirements not only helps you avoid legal risks, but also expands your customer base and improves your digital presence.

Our services
In accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), we offer a comprehensive text comprehensibility audit, which includes:
- Verification of alternative text for images: We ensure that all images are described with alternative text (alt text) so that users with visual impairments can perceive them using screen readers.
- Checking the structure of headings and titles: We check whether your website is logically structured with correct H1, H2, and H3 level headings, which improve navigation.
- Keyboard navigation check: We make sure that the site can be browsed using only the keyboard, which is essential for users who cannot use a mouse.
- Contrast and readability check: We check that the text and background colours have sufficient contrast so that the content can be read by people with visual impairments.
- Form and input field accessibility check: We ensure that all forms are clearly labelled and have appropriate instructions for filling them out.
- Video and audio content accessibility check: We check whether audiovisual materials are available in different formats, for example, with subtitles and audio descriptions.
