602.3 (Support Docs)

Software: Partially Supports

Software: The product provides sufficient text alternatives for most instances of application. Exceptions include:

An image that acts as a link or control does not have a text alternative, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not understand the function performed by the image. This occurs on the following screen: Menu.

Some dynamically changing images that act as a link or control do not have a text alternative that changes with them, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not understand the function performed by each image. This occurs on the following screens: Mobile Editor for free users; Your stuff – Files; Your stuff – projects.

An image that acts as a link or control does not have a text alternative that contains essential text from the visual image, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not understand the function performed by the image. This occurs on the following screen: Your stuff – Files.

An informative image does not have a text alternative, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not be able to access the information conveyed the image. This occurs on the following screen: Your stuff – projects.

An informative image that contains text does not have a text alternative that includes essential text present in the image, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not understand the information conveyed by the image. This occurs on the following screen: Mobile Editor for free users.

An image has a text alternative that is different than what the image represents, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will be given different information than sighted users. This occurs on the following screen: Browse your files.

Some decorative images and content are not hidden from screen readers, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will have to navigate through unnecessary and duplicative text. This occurs on the following screens: Media modal; Menu; Your stuff – projects; Learn.

Revised Section 508

501 (Web)(Software)
504.2 (Authoring Tool)
602.3 (Support Docs)

Software: Partially Supports

Software: Most visual structure and relationship information is provided through semantics | object information or in text. Exceptions include:

Some text that visually functions as a heading is not marked up as a heading, so the structure of the content is not properly conveyed to assistive technologies and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screens: Home - For you; Learn; Premium member mobile; Your stuff – projects.

Some blocks of text are marked up as headings but are not headings, so the structure of the content is misrepresented to assistive technologies and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screens: Browse your files; Push notifications.

1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence (Level A)

Also applies to:

EN 301 549 Criteria

Revised Section 508

501 (Web)(Software)
504.2 (Authoring Tool)
602.3 (Support Docs)

Software: Partially Supports

Software: The product presents most content in a meaningful sequence. Exceptions include:

Screen readers can read content outside some modal dialogs, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may become disoriented or confused. This occurs on the following screens: Browse your files; Download menu; Media modal; Menu; Mobile Editor for free users; Push notifications; Upload from device; Your stuff – Files.

Some visually hidden content is announced by a screen reader, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may be misled or confused when hearing content that is not intended to be part of the reading order on the page. This occurs on the following screen: Mobile Editor for free users.

Some hidden or empty interactive elements receive screen reader focus, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will navigate to elements that are not intended to be part of the reading order on a page or have no content/functionality. This occurs on the following screens: Menu; Mobile Editor for free users; Mobile Home for free users; Upload from device; Your stuff – Files.

The screen reader skips and does not announce informative static content (text or images), so the intended meaning of that content will be lost or changed for people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screen: Browse your files.

When some modals are closed, screen reader focus is not returned to the controls that opened a modal or to another logical location, making navigation difficult for people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screens: Mobile Editor for free users; Your stuff – Files.

Screen reader focus does not follow the visual focus order or does not move to the intended target, so the reading order for people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may not follow the visual organization of the page. This occurs on the following screens: Mobile Home for free users; Upload from device.

When some modal dialogs are opened, screen reader focus is not placed in the open modal, so navigation to the modals will be difficult or impossible for people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screens: Browse your files; Download menu; Menu; Mobile Editor for free users; Push notifications; Your stuff – Files.

Software: Most of the headings and labels are descriptive. Exceptions include:

Multiple programmatic labels for controls or form input fields do not convey the purpose of the control or input, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may not understand what a control does or what data to enter. This occurs on the following screens: Mobile Editor for free users; Mobile Home for free users.

Multiple labels for controls or form input fields do not convey the purpose of the control or input, so users may not understand what the control does or what data to enter, especially people with cognitive or learning disabilities and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screens: Download menu; Home - For you; Learn; Mobile Home for free users; Your stuff – Files.

Multiple buttons have identical programmatic labels but different functionality, and there is not programmatic context, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not know or may be confused or misled about what each button does. This occurs on the following screens: Media modal; Mobile Editor for free users; Mobile Home for free users; Your stuff – Files; Your stuff – projects.

Software: Partially Supports

Software: In most product functions, accessible names of controls contain the text of their visible labels. Exceptions include:

The accessible name of an interactive element (such as a link, button, or form input) does not contain the visible label, so people who use speech input to navigate and operate content will not be able to access the element. This occurs on the following screen: Mobile Home for free users.

An interactive element (such as a link, button, or form input) does not have an accessible name because its visible label is not programmatically associated with the element, so people who use speech input to navigate and operate content will not be able to access the element.

Software: Does Not Support

Software: User interface components in most product functions do not provide programmatic name, role, state, or value information. Exceptions include:

Multiple elements that look like a tab bar (a row of buttons at the bottom of the screen) do not behave like one, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may not be able to understand the purpose of the buttons or how to interact with them. This occurs on the following screens: Media modal; Nav bar (bottom).

A control opens Safari but does not have a link role, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may not be able to understand the purpose of the element or how to use it. This occurs on the following screen: Menu.

When some buttons are selected, their selected state is not conveyed programmatically, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology will not be informed that the buttons are selected. This occurs on the following screens: Learn; Mobile Editor for free users; Mobile Home for free users; Your stuff – Files; Your stuff – projects.

Multiple buttons do not have a programmatic name, so each button's name (such as "Submit" or "Cancel") is not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies and will not be available to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following screens: Mobile Editor for free users; Premium member mobile; Your stuff – Files; Your stuff – projects.

Multiple buttons do not have a programmatic role, so each button's role (usually button, but sometimes link or something else) is not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies and will not be available to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following screens: Download menu; Home - For you; Media modal; Mobile Home for free users; Premium member mobile; Your stuff – Files; Your stuff – projects.

A form control (such as a text input field or checkbox) is not programmatically associated with its visible label, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may not be able to understand the purpose of the form control or what input it requires. This occurs on the following screen: Your stuff – Files.

Multiple controls have an incorrect programmatic role, so the role (like "button" or "link") for each control conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies is incorrect and misrepresents that control's function to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following screens: Learn; Menu; Your stuff – Files; Your stuff – projects.

Multiple controls have an incorrect programmatic state, so each control's state (like "checked"/"unchecked" or "expanded"/"collapsed") conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies is incorrect and misrepresents that control's state and functionality to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following screens: Browse your files; Your stuff – Files.

A control (such as a button or link) does not have a programmatic name, so its name (such as "Submit" or "Cancel") is not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies and will not be available to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following screen: Menu.
