Accessibility at Mave
Accessible by design.
Built into the player.
Give more people a way to watch, listen and read. Mave brings keyboard controls, support for assistive technology and flexible content options into the video experience.
Accessibility is part of how the player works. From reaching a control to choosing a subtitle track.
01 — Put viewers in control
A keyboard.
A screen reader.
A way to watch independently.
Viewers can reach and operate player controls with a keyboard. Roles and labels help assistive technology communicate what each control does.
Control playback
Play, pause and move through a video using keyboard controls.
Navigate with context
Accessible labels help viewers identify buttons, menus and available options.
Set the pace
Playback speed controls let viewers follow content at a pace that suits them.
02 — Independently tested
A player you can assess.
Results you can read.
In August 2026, Proper Access independently retested the Mave player and its related transcript and file components against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA.
The player meets all tested success criteria, with no accessibility findings left open.
Read the independent accessibility report →Clear test scope
The report describes the components, methods and results of the assessment. Your team can review the details directly.
Your content matters too
An accessible player is the foundation. Accurate captions, descriptive audio where needed and an accessible surrounding page help make the complete experience work for your audience.
03 — Make room for text
Follow the words.
Read at your own pace.
Subtitles and transcripts give people another way into your content. They support viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing, people watching without sound and anyone who prefers to read along.
Add the text your audience needs and review it for accuracy before publishing.
Subtitles and captions
Offer available subtitle languages, choose a default and let viewers turn subtitles on or off. Viewers can also download subtitle files.
Explore subtitles →A transcript alongside the video
Mave Text presents video content as text, providing a reading alternative that also works with screen readers.
Explore transcripts →04 — Offer another way to listen
The same video.
More than one audio track.
Provide an alternative language or add a descriptive audio track that explains important visual information for people who cannot see it.
When multiple tracks are available, Mave displays an audio selector so viewers can choose. The player supports those tracks; your team supplies the content.
05 — Keep accessibility in the workflow
Make it yours.
Keep it usable.
Choose the controls your audience needs and fit the player to your website. As you customize, keep keyboard access, readable contrast and clear labels part of your review.
Check your video, its text alternatives and the surrounding page together. Accessibility is about the whole experience.
