• Responsive layouts for different screen sizes
• Readable AI-generated explanations

3. Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing process. Our efforts may include periodic internal reviews, user feedback evaluation, and iterative improvements to design and functionality as the AST Platform and its applications evolve.

4. Known Limitations

Despite our efforts, certain limitations may exist, including:

• Decorative images that may not include descriptive text
• Animations that may not fully respect motion preferences
• AI-generated content that may not always be optimally interpreted by assistive technologies
• Multimedia content that may lack captions or transcripts

5. Assistive Technologies

The AST Platform is intended to be usable with modern web browsers and common accessibility features provided by operating systems, browsers, and assistive software. Compatibility may vary depending on user configuration, specific applications, and technology versions.
