Software: The product provides features for simpler, easier use by individuals with limited cognitive, language, and learning abilities. For example, the product offers consistent use of language, multiple ways of performing functions, and contextual help (tooltips) to explain metadata. However, some features of the product place more demands than necessary on users’ reasoning, memory, or decision making. For example, when the user enters an invalid date in the Find dialog, the error message does not identify which field has an invalid date. As another example, in the Output Settings panel, the product automatically corrects invalid input without explanation, and does not identify required fields. Authored Content (PDF): The product does not provide programmatic indication of the language of the Authored Content, which impedes speech synthesis for users with limited language abilities. |
4.2.11 Privacy |
Software: Supports Authored Content (PDF): Supports |
Software: When using product features that are provided for accessibility, users can maintain privacy of information in the product. Authored Content (PDF): Authors can ensure that content meets this requirement. |
