    Text is found in many places on your computer, such as in windows and dialogs, in content areas like webpages and help files, and in documents. This chapter explains how to use VoiceOver to read, select, and edit text.

    I couldn't believe this form Microsoft's own accessibility guidance for the latest mac offerings: "Hear most menu commands, options in dialog boxes, and other elements on your computer screen. VoiceOver does not work with the contents of the main document window or the ribbon. For example, VoiceOver does not read your text in a document."

    Summary: Users get lost inside PDF files, which are typically big, linear text blobs that are optimized for print and unpleasant to read and navigate online. PDF is good for printing, but that's it. Don't use it for online presentation.

      Alternatives MUST NOT include information about the type of object (Editorial & Development) When using standard controls for links, buttons, images etc. information about its type is assigned elsewhere and should not be repeated in the alternative. This information is generally provided by default for platform objects, controls, or elements and will be announced by speech output software. For example never use the text 'Add button' as an alternative, only 'Add'. Adding additional roles means the role is announced twice to users of speech output software. An exception to this may be when a role or state cannot be added in such as way. For example, in the case of an HTML page tabs that gracefully degrade it may be useful to add the word "Selected" to the link.

      Do not use the Title attribute unless on a form input as these are not widely supported on mobile

      Speech output software renders content in the order in which it appears in the document object model (DOM). Place content in the DOM in the correct order either through source code or inserting nodes in the DOM

  • The title attribute specifies extra information about an element. The information is most often shown as a tooltip text when the mouse moves over the element.
  • Kev Harland on 10 Nov 13
     
    This attribute seems to be required by Xerte if embedding images where the embed functionality is not available from the "optional properties" menu. (Why use this instead of "Alt"? - When screen reading a Xerte object the the Alt tag seems to get ignored but "title" tag gets read aloud)

  • If you absolutely must use a server-side image map, always place redundant text links adjacent to the map so someone with a screen reader, or someone who can't use a mouse, can access the links.

      NCAM Guidelines. Might also be used to justify other kind of redundant links
  • If an image is merely used to set atmosphere or provide decoration, it is not always necessary or even desirable to provide a description. In such cases it is best to give that image a null description, such as null alt, as demonstrated below. (A null description informs assistive technologies that the graphic does not need description. If no description [e.g., no alt] at all is included, assistive technologies may announce an unlabeled graphic, leading the user to wonder what is missing.)
