Summary
This Success Criterion requires that people should be able to resize text up to 200% without the help of assistive technology. This makes reading easier for those with visual impairments, ensuring they do not lose content or functionality when the text is enlarged.
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Small text on my screen, can’t make out the words
Success Criterion 1.4.4 steps in, haven’t you heard?
Some eyes need letters bigger, some vision needs a boost
When text stays too tiny, accessibility’s reduced
Digital doors should open wide for everyone to see
No matter what their vision needs might be
CHORUS:
Zoom to see, zoom to read
Up to 200% is what we need
No loss of function, no content clipped
Just bigger text that hasn’t slipped
1.4.4 makes it clear
Digital text should grow without fear
VERSE 2:
No need for special tools, just browser controls
Resizing text by choice as the content unfolds
Author’s responsibility to build it right
So scaling works with ease, bringing words to light
Relative units make it flow, em and percent
When text grows larger, nothing gets bent
CHORUS:
Zoom to see, zoom to read
Up to 200% is what we need
No loss of function, no content clipped
Just bigger text that hasn’t slipped
1.4.4 makes it clear
Digital text should grow without fear
BRIDGE:
Not everyone reads the same way
Some need it bigger to brighten their day
Images of text don’t scale as well
So use real text whenever you can tell
Let’s build a web where everyone belongs
That’s the message in our song
CHORUS:
Zoom to see, zoom to read
Up to 200% is what we need
No loss of function, no content clipped
Just bigger text that hasn’t slipped
1.4.4 makes it clear
Digital text should grow without fear
