WCAG in Plain English

Actions that rely on gestures (like swiping or pinching) must also be possible using a single tap, click, or button.

Actions must not trigger on press or touch down. They must only trigger on release (like mouse-up or finger lift).

If an action can be triggered by motion (like shaking or tilting the device), it must also work without motion, and be possible to turn off motion-based input.

Targets for touch or mouse must be at least 44×44px, unless they are part of a sentence or block of text, near another target with the same function that meets the size, or in a context where size can’t be increased.

It must be possible to switch between input types (mouse, keyboard, touch, voice) without losing access to any functionality.

Actions that require dragging (like reordering) must also be possible using buttons or another method that does not require dragging.

Targets must be at least 24×24px, unless they are part of a sentence or block of text, surrounded by enough space, or near another target with the same function that meets the size.

Before submitting, all forms must allow reviewing the input, correcting mistakes, or confirming.

Don’t ask for the same information twice in the same process. Provide pre-filled fields or selection options if the information was already given.

Authentication must not rely on memory alone. Allow copy-paste, password managers, or other options (like email verification).
