Chapter 5: Generic Requirements
Notes:
Chapter 6: ICT with Two-Way Voice Communication Notes: Not Applicable
Chapter 7: ICT with Video Capabilities
Notes:
7.1.1 Captioning playback
Where ICT displays video with synchronized audio, it shall have a mode of operation to display the available captions. Where closed captions are provided as part of the content, the ICT shall allow the user to choose to display the captions.
Note: Captions may contain information about timing, colour and positioning. This caption data is important for caption users. Timing is used for caption synchronization. Colour can be used for speaker identification. Position can be used to avoid obscuring important information.
7.1.2 Captioning synchronization
Where ICT displays captions, the mechanism to display captions shall preserve synchronization between the audio and the corresponding captions.
7.1.3 Preservation of captioning
Where ICT transmits, converts or records video with synchronized audio, it shall preserve caption data such that it can be displayed in a manner consistent with clauses 7.1.1 and 7.1.2.
Additional presentational aspects of the text such as screen position, text colours, text style and text fonts may convey meaning, based on regional conventions. Altering these presentational aspects could change the meaning and should be avoided wherever possible.
7.1.4 Captions characteristics
Where ICT displays captions, it shall provide a way for the user to adapt the displayed characteristics of captions to their individual requirements, except where the captions are displayed as unmodifiable characters.
Note 1: Defining the background and foreground colour of subtitles, font type, size opacity of the background box of subtitles, and the contour or border of the fonts can contribute to meeting this requirement.
Note 2: Subtitles that are bitmap images are examples of unmodifiable characters.
7.1.5 Spoken subtitles
Where ICT displays video with synchronized audio, it shall have a mode of operation to provide a spoken output of the available captions, except where the content of the displayed captions is not programmatically determinable.
NOTE 1: Being able to manage speech output range for spoken subtitles independently from general ICT speech is preferable for most users. That is possible when the audio file with spoken subtitle is delivered in a separate audio track and mixed in the end users device.
NOTE 2: Presenting the separate audio track with spoken subtitles in synchronization with the displayed subtitles/captions improves understandability of the subtitles.
NOTE 3: Providing subtitles/captions as separate text-streams, facilitates converting the respective texts into audio.
NOTE 4: Subtitles that are bitmap images are examples where the content of the displayed captions will not be programmatically determinable.
7.2.1 Audio description playback
Where ICT displays video with synchronized audio, it shall provide a mechanism to select and play available audio description to the default audio channel.
Where video technologies do not have explicit and separate mechanisms for audio description, an ICT is deemed to satisfy this requirement if the ICT enables the user to select and play several audio tracks.
Note 1: In such cases, the video content can include the audio description as one of the available audio tracks.
Note 2: Audio descriptions in digital media sometimes include information to allow descriptions that are longer than the gaps between dialogue. Support in digital media players for this "extended audio description" feature is useful, especially for digital media that is viewed personally.
7.2.2 Audio description synchronization
Where ICT has a mechanism to play audio description, it shall preserve the synchronization between the audio/visual content and the corresponding audio description.
7.2.3 Preservation of audio description
Where ICT transmits, converts, or records video with synchronized audio, it shall preserve audio description data such that it can be played in a manner consistent with clauses 7.2.1 and 7.2.2.
7.3 User controls for captions and audio description
Where ICT primarily displays materials containing video with associated audio content, user controls to activate subtitling and audio description shall be provided to the user at the same level of interaction (i.e. the number of steps to complete the task) as the primary media controls.
Note 1: Primary media controls are the set of controls that the user most commonly uses to control media.
Note 2: Products that have a general hardware volume control, such as a telephone, or a laptop which can be configured to display video through software but which is not its primary purpose, would not need dedicated hardware controls for captions and descriptions; however software controls, or hardware controls mapped through software, would need to be at the same level of interaction.
Note 3: It is best practice for ICT to include additional controls enabling the user to select whether captions and audio description are turned on or off by default.

Platform software shall provide a set of documented platform services that enable software that provides a user interface running on the platform software to interoperate with assistive technology.
Platform software should support requirements 11.5.2.5 to 11.5.2.17 except that, where a user interface concept that corresponds to one of the clauses 11.5.2.5 to 11.5.2.17 is not supported within the software environment, these requirements are not applicable. For example, selection attributes from 11.5.2.14 (Modification of focus and selection attributes) may not exist in environments that do not allow selection, which is most commonly associated with copy and paste.
11.5.2.3 Use of accessibility services
Where the software provides a user interface it shall use the applicable documented platform accessibility services. If the documented platform accessibility services do not allow the software to meet the applicable requirements of clauses 11.5.2.5 to 11.5.2.17, then software that provides a user interface shall use other documented services to interoperate with assistive technology.
Note: The term "documented platform accessibility services" refers to the set of services provided by the platform according to clauses 11.5.2.1 and 11.5.2.2.
It is best practice to develop software using toolkits that automatically implement the underlying platform accessibility services.
11.5.2.4 Assistive technology
Where the ICT is assistive technology it shall use the documented platform accessibility services.
Note 1: The term "documented platform accessibility services" refers to the set of services provided by the platform according to clauses 11.5.2.1 and 11.5.2.2.
Note 2: Assistive technology can also use other documented accessibility services.
11.5.2.5 Object information
Where the software provides a user interface it shall, by using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, make the user interface elements' role, state(s), boundary, name, and description programmatically determinable by assistive technologies.
11.5.2.6 Row, column, and headers
Where the software provides a user interface it shall, by using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, make the row and column of each cell in a data table, including headers of the row and column if present, programmatically determinable by assistive technologies.
11.5.2.7 Values
Where the software provides a user interface, it shall, by using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, make the current value of a user interface element and any minimum or maximum values of the range, if the user interface element conveys information about a range of values, programmatically determinable by assistive technologies.
11.5.2.8 Label relationships
Where the software provides a user interface it shall expose the relationship that a user interface element has as a label for another element, or of being labelled by another element, using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, so that this information is programmatically determinable by assistive technologies.
11.5.2.9 Parent-child relationships
Where the software provides a user interface it shall, by using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, make the relationship between a user interface element and any parent or children elements programmatically determinable by assistive technologies.
11.5.2.10 Text
Where the software provides a user interface it shall, by using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, make the text contents, text attributes, and the boundary of text rendered to the screen programmatically determinable by assistive technologies.
11.5.2.11 List of available actions
Where the software provides a user interface it shall, by using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, make a list of available actions that can be executed on a user interface element, programmatically determinable by assistive technologies.
11.5.2.12 Execution of available actions
Where permitted by security requirements, software that provides a user interface shall, by using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, allow the programmatic execution of the actions exposed according to clause 11.5.2.11 by assistive technologies.
Note 1: In some cases, the security requirements imposed on a software product may forbid external software from interfering with the ICT product. Examples of systems under strict security requirements are systems dealing with intelligence activities, cryptologic activities related to national security, command and control of military forces.
Note 2: Assistive technologies may be required to maintain the same level of security as the standard input mechanisms supported by the platform.
The product allows assistive technology to perform all available actions on objects.
Exceptions are noted in 2.1.1 Keyboard.
11.5.2.13 Tracking of focus and selection attributes
Where software provides a user interface it shall, by using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, make information and mechanisms necessary to track focus, text insertion point, and selection attributes of user interface elements programmatically determinable by assistive technologies.
11.5.2.14 Modification of focus and selection attributes
Where permitted by security requirements, software that provides a user interface shall, by using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, allow assistive technologies to programmatically modify focus, text insertion point, and selection attributes of user interface elements where the user can modify these items.
Note 1: In some cases, the security requirements imposed on a software product may forbid external software from interfering with the ICT product and so this requirement would not apply. Examples of systems under strict security requirements are systems dealing with intelligence activities, cryptologic activities related to national security, command and control of military forces.
Note 2: Assistive technologies may be required to maintain the same level of security as the standard input mechanisms supported by the platform.
11.5.2.15 Change notification
Where software provides a user interface it shall, by using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, notify assistive technologies about changes in those programmatically determinable attributes of user interface elements that are referenced in requirements 11.5.2.5 to 11.5.2.11 and 11.5.2.13.
11.5.2.16 Modifications of states and properties
Where permitted by security requirements, software that provides a user interface shall, by using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, allow assistive technologies to programmatically modify states and properties of user interface elements, where the user can modify these items.
Note 1: In some cases, the security requirements imposed on a software product may forbid external software from interfering with the ICT product and so this requirement would not apply. Examples of systems under strict security requirements are systems dealing with intelligence activities, cryptologic activities related to national security, command and control of military forces.
Note 2: Assistive technologies may be required to maintain the same level of security as the standard input mechanisms supported by the platform.
11.5.2.17 Modifications of values and text
Where permitted by security requirements, software that provides a user interface shall, by using the services as described in clause 11.5.2.3, allow assistive technologies to modify values and text of user interface elements using the input methods of the platform, where a user can modify these items without the use of assistive technology.
Note 1: In some cases the security requirements imposed on a software product may forbid external software from interfering with the ICT product and so this requirement would not apply. Examples of systems under strict security requirements are systems dealing with intelligence activities, cryptologic activities related to national security, command and control of military forces.
Note 2: Assistive technologies may be required to maintain the same level of security as the standard input mechanisms supported by the platform.
11.6.1 User control of accessibility features
Where software is a platform, it shall provide sufficient modes of operation for user control over those platform accessibility features documented as intended for users.
11.6.2 No disruption of accessibility features
Where software provides a user interface it shall not disrupt those documented accessibility features that are defined in platform documentation except when requested to do so by the user during the operation of the software.
11.7 User preferences
Where software provides a user interface it shall provide sufficient modes of operation that use user preferences for platform settings for color, contrast, font type, font size, and focus cursor except for software that is designed to be isolated from its underlying platforms.
11.8.2 Accessible content creation
Authoring tools shall enable and guide the production of content that conforms to clauses 9 (Web content) or 10 (Non-Web content) as applicable.
Note: Authoring tools may rely on additional tools where conformance with specific requirements is not achievable by a single tool. For example, a video editing tool may enable the creation of video files for distribution via broadcast television and the web, but authoring of caption files for multiple formats may be provided by a different tool.
11.8.3 Preservation of accessibility information in transformations
If the authoring tool provides restructuring transformations or re-coding transformations, then accessibility information shall be preserved in the output if equivalent mechanisms exist in the content technology of the output.
Note 1: Restructuring transformations are transformations in which the content technology stays the same, but the structural features of the content are changed (e.g. linearizing tables, splitting a document into pages).
Note 2: Re-coding transformations are transformations in which the technology used to encode the content is changed.
11.8.4 Repair assistance
If the accessibility checking functionality of an authoring tool can detect that content does not meet a requirement of clauses 9 (Web) or 10 (Non-web documents) as applicable, then the authoring tool shall provide repair suggestion(s).
11.8.5 Templates
When an authoring tool provides templates, at least one template that supports the creation of content that conforms to the requirements of clauses 9 (Web) or 10 (non-web documents) as applicable shall be available and identified as such.
