More detailed information on technical accessibility

Content or features that are not yet accessible

Website and webshop (unisport.fi and oma.enkora/unisport)

  • There are some buttons and headings in the service that are not named descriptively. (WCAG 2.4.6)
  • There are link texts in the online service that are not descriptive. The target page or action of some links cannot be concluded from the link text itself. (WCAG 2.4.4)
  • The numbers of visitors are presented through images that do not have any alternative text description. The booking degree facilities in Enkora is conveyed through symbols without any alt text. In addition, there are some decorative images with irrelevant alt texts that add extra noise to screen readers. (WCAG 1.1.1, 1.4.5)
  • The links in the middle of text content can be distinguished only by color. Other situations in which information is conveyed through color alone include the information in data graphics and the booking degree of facilities in the facility calendar of Enkora. (WCAG 1.4.1)
  • In cookie settings, some instructions to the user are only based on single sensory perception. (WCAG 1.3.3)
  • At some places, the contrasts between text and its background as well as the contrast in user interface elements is too low. (WCAG 1.4.3 and 1.4.11)
  • There are situations in which the keyboard focus is not visible. (WCAG 2.4.7)
  • Navigation in the online service is not fully consistent, since the breadcrumbs is not found in every page. (WCAG 3.2.3)
  • The keyboard and screen reader focus does not always move logically in the service. For example, the focus is not always directed to opening modals. Furthermore, the focus does not always go to the beginning of a new page. (WCAG 2.4.3)
  • In mobile size, the reading order of the menu items in the main navigation is not consistent. (WCAG 1.3.2)
  • Some user interface elements lack a visible name. (WCAG 3.3.2)
  • The shop and reservation system does not have descriptive page titles. (WCAG 2.4.2)
  • The parts of the web pages that are in different language do not have correct language attribute. This can lead to mispronunciation by screen readers. (WCAG 3.1.2)
  • There are some accessibility issues that affect especially assistive technology users. Some texts that look like headings have not been programmatically marked as headings. There are also icons that have not been hidden from screen readers or they do not have an accessible name. In these situations, the screen reader may read an indescriptive file name. In some situations, the screen reader reads content repeatedly or finds content that is not presented in graphical format. The labels are not always programmatically associated with their respective form fields or menus. (WCAG 1.3.1)
  • There are also some tables and lists that are not communicated correctly to the screen reader. Especially the booking calendar in Enkora is very difficult to interpret with screen reader, since the items that can be booked are not inside the table structure. (WCAG 1.3.1)
  • The tooltips in the service are not read by a screen reader. (WCAG 1.3.1)
  • The state of some menus and buttons (collapsed/expanded) is not announced to the screen reader. Some links, buttons and other user interface components do not have an accessible name or role. At some cases, the role given to the element is misleading, e.g. in the cookies window. (WCAG 4.1.2)
  • The shop and reservation service includes menus and buttons where the currently selected item is not announced to the screen reader. (WCAG 1.3.1, 4.1.2)
  • In the shop and reservation service, visible changes on the page are not sufficiently communicated to screen reader users. (WCAG 4.1.3)
  • There are buttons and other functionalities (including main navigation) that are not accessible to keyboard-only users, making it impossible to use the service with keyboard. In addition, some content in the chat cannot be activated with a mouse or a screen reader. (WCAG 2.1.1)
  • Some functionalities in the visitor number calculator activate already when receiving focus. (WCAG 3.2.1)
  • There are some contents that emerge when pointing with mouse but cannot be dismissed without moving the focus. In addition, the mouse pointer cannot be moved over the additional content. (WCAG 1.4.13)
  • The HTML code of the online service does not fully comply to the specification. (WCAG 4.1.1)
  • There are PDF files in the services that are not fully accessible. (WCAG 1.1.1, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 3.1.3 and 1.4.3)

An effort to correct the shortcomings listed above will be made by 31.12.2023.

Online classes and recordings (Mywellness)

  • The profile button is nameless and roleless and cannot be used with a keyboard or screen reader. (WCAG 1.3.1, 2.1.1 and 4.1.2)
  • Bookmark buttons are nameless, and their active status is not interpreted to the screen reader. (WCAG 4.1.2)
  • The browsing view of online classes has nested buttons, which is why they do not work correctly with a screen reader. (WCAG 4.1.2)
  • The service has unnamed icon-buttons. (WCAG 4.1.2)
  • The search field is missing a visible label. (WCAG 3.3.2)
  • The service has drop-down menus, the status of which is not shown by the screen reader. (WCAG 4.1.2)
  • The service contains heading-like texts, which are lacking heading tags. (WCAG 1.3.1)
  • The video frames are not named descriptively. (WCAG 2.4.6)
  • The service contains workout recordings published after September 23, 2020, which do not have captions. In some situations, the content of the recordings would also need audio description. Captions and audio descriptions for all the recordings would cause an unreasonable burden on the organization. We subtitle the recordings at our own discretion. (WCAG 1.2.2, 1.2.3 and 1.2.5)
  • Video recordings have unnamed control buttons. (WCAG 4.1.2)
  • The video rewind buttons cannot be reached with a keyboard or screen reader. (WCAG 1.3.1 and 2.1.1)
  • The focus order of control buttons for videos is illogical. (WCAG 2.4.3)

The schedule of correcting the shortcomings listed above will get more precise during the autumn 2023.

Options to work around accessibility issues before corrections are made

  • The list view is a more accessible tool for doing reservations with screen reader than the calendar view. You can also reserve services by phone +358 2941 22151.
  • Along with chat you can contact customer service and get support by phone (+358 2941 22151) or email (unisport.asiakaspalvelu@helsinki.fi).
  • The virtual tours of sports facilities are not accessible to screen reader users. However, each facility page includes text-based information about the equipment of the facilities.

Note

There are recordings on the website, which are published before accessibility requirements were set and therefore don't meet accessibility criteria.

Captions and audio descriptions for all the recordings published after September 23, 2020, would cause an unreasonable burden on the organization. We subtitle the recordings at our own discretion.
