Accessibility for everyone
Education technology should enhance learning for everyone, regardless of ability or circumstance.
At Turnitin, we are committed to accessibility. As part of that commitment, we work toward ensuring that Turnitin’s products align with applicable web accessibility laws. In practice, we use third-party accessibility experts to evaluate our products against the WCAG 2.1 AA standard and we share their findings through our product VPATs. We expect to begin testing and striving to substantially comply with WCAG 2.2 AA by the end of 2024 with a goal of making updates in 2025 to address any critical or blocking issues.
Our Approach
Turnitin continues to develop our accessibility program and capabilities so that we are designing, developing, and testing our products for conformance to accessibility standards.
We engage in both internal and external accessibility evaluation and provide our conformance via a date-stamped VPAT available below.
Measures to Support Accessibility
Turnitin takes the following measures to ensure the accessibility of our products:
- Make accessibility a priority for our product, engineering, and design functions by assigning clear accessibility objectives and responsibilities
- Design and build products using an in-house design system, containing accessible, reusable, customizable components and patterns

- NVDA and JAWS screen reader support on Windows for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browser
- VoiceOver support on macOS for Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browsers
