  • I see no problem with the allowance for alternative versions. Disallowing alternatives will do little for accessibility. Which is better, an inaccessible simulation and an accessible alternative or nothing? If a developer cannot build anything because one version would be inaccessible, then we have no accessibility.

WAI-ARIA FAQ - 0 views

  • WAI-ARIA 1.0 is currently a W3C "Candidate Recommendation".
  • Developing custom, cross-browser JavaScript widgets is more complex, and implementing WAI-ARIA in these is proportionally more complex.
  • "WAI-ARIA" is the abbreviation for the Accessible Rich Internet Applications documents. In order to avoid confusion, please use "WAI-ARIA" (instead of just "ARIA"), at least in titles, headings, and on first reference in documentation.
  • Kev Harland on 01 Dec 13
     
    WAI-ARIA is already supported in several browsers and assistive technologies (even though it is not finalized yet). Once WAI-ARIA is stable, WAI will collect and publish a list of WAI-ARIA implementations, that is, what supports WAI-ARIA. Some information on WAI-ARIA support is already available on other Web sites.

    Deliver the PowerPoint as a finished product. In other words, display the presentation embedded in a web browser window. Avoid forcing students to download the presentation onto their computer if at all possible.  Downloading presents all kinds of problems - for example, what happens with embedded audio and video files.

    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."

MS Office for the Mac and Accessibility - 1 views

  • in terms of accessibility for people with disabilities, Microsoft Office for the Mac – 2011 is a complete failure. Not only can you not make accessible documents with this product, it does not work with VoiceOver. That’s right; you cannot read documents created in MS Office for Mac 2001 with VoiceOver.
  • Kev Harland on 24 Nov 13
     
    Now the bad news: MS Office for Mac still does not fully work with VoiceOver. VoiceOver will read the toolbars and their content, and says that it is "interacting with document pane view" but that's all. VoiceOver cannot read the content of the document pane, thus the product is still not accessible.

      Flash Accessibility Overview Important! Due to lack of Flash support on mobile devices (particularly iOS devices), decreased support in many browsers, poor accessibility, and general transition away from Flash as a commonly-used web technology, using Flash is not generally recommended. This article provides an overview of Flash accessibility with the general understanding that Flash content cannot be seen or used by many site visitors, regardless of disability.

    The Before and After Demonstration is a multi-page resource that shows an inaccessible website and a retrofitted version of this same website. Each web page includes inline annotations that can be activated to highlight some of the key accessibility barriers or repairs. Each web page is also accompanied by an evaluation report to inform the developers on the level of conformance to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

      Many advocates of web accessibility tend to have rather dull, unattractive websites. This is unfortunate, as web accessibility need not affect the design of the website in any way whatsoever. To fully dispel this myth, have a look at the CSS Zen Garden
  • Any web developer with basic HTML and CSS design knowledge, and a bit of time on their hands, can easily learn and implement web accessibility.

    I come across articles and recommendations that tend to confuse usability with accessibility. The objective of this post is to establish the link between the two terms while outlining their differences. In order to do so, it is important to first understand what is web site usability and web site accessibility.
