Chapter 3: Functional Performance Criteria (FPC)
Notes:
Software: As detailed in 1.1.1 Non-text Content, most icons used do not have alternative text that can be read by screen readers. Additionally, as described in 2.1.1 Keyboard, many features cannot be accessed with keyboard-only operation.
Users without vision will face challenges in interacting with user interface elements due to a lack of programmatic names, and roles, as discussed previously in 1.3.1 Info and Relationships and 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value.
Authored Content (Video): Authors can provide sufficient audio description for authored content to ensure it can be used by users without vision.
Software: Supports
Authored Content (Video): Supports
