What’s new 16.9.2025 – Zefort Sign updated with screen reader support
Zefort’s e-signing service, Zefort Sign, has been updated to support screen readers. This allows users to listen to contract details and complete the signing process using their device’s native screen reader technology.
A more inclusive signing experience
With a screen reader activated, a user can navigate all page elements, including instructions and buttons. The system is designed to read the full text of the contract aloud. The “Sign” and “Decline” actions can be triggered via standard keyboard commands, allowing the process to be completed without requiring a mouse.
This improvement is part of our work to align with the European Accessibility Act. This update is the first phase of a broader initiative to improve accessibility across the Zefort platform, with further enhancements planned for the future.
How to use this feature
No changes are needed within Zefort to use this functionality. It is designed to work automatically with the screen reader that is built into your device.
To get started, simply activate the native screen reader on your computer or mobile phone. These tools are typically found in your device’s accessibility settings. Once enabled, open the Zefort Sign link to begin the accessible signing process.
