I am making available to the HTML 5 WG the following user testing footage of header/id combinations, @summary and @longdesc in use by a blind power screen reader user. Each of the videos demonstrates these methods/attributes in current use with commentary and discussion on each. This footage should be useful for anyone interested in how these features are really helpful for people with disabilities. The videos can also be used as a point of reference in future discussion. I am presenting them to the group so they will hopefully find them enlightening and act as a record of the usefulness of all of these features. The tests are using JAWS 7 on Win XP SP2. Each test has been divided into several clips and can also be downloaded in its entirety, should you prefer, from the following directory [1]. However dividing the tests into clips makes the files smaller and the issues/areas discussed easier to track. The clips are in Windows Media .WMV format, and contain roughly the following content. *HTML5 WG header/id test Video:Table 1 [20.5 Mbs]* http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/Table1.wmv Basic Table Navigation: How screen reader users interrogate tables using JAWS 7. Exploring headers *HTML5 WG header/id test Video: Table 2 [9.5 Mbs]* http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/Table2.wmv Tester observes peculiarity of how some numeric content is outputted. *HTML5 WG header/id test Video: Table 3 [10.2 Mbs]* http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/Table3.wmv More table exploration *HTML5 WG header/id test Video: Table 4 [8.1 Mbs]* http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/Table4.wmv Discussion on the importance of semantic markup *HTML5 WG header/id test Video: Table 5 [9.6 Mbs]* http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/Table5.wmv Use of id/headers, axis. Discussion of @summary *HTML5 WG header/id test Video: Table 6 [4.3 Mbs]* http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/Table6.wmv *HTML5 WG @Longdesc test Video: Longdesc_IDC [29.5 Mbs]* http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/Longdesc_IDC.wmv Discussion of Virtual Viewer Use of longdesc description to enhance spacial awareness The longdesc attribute:Who uses it? *HTML5 WG @Longdesc test Video: Longdesc_Boxmodel [15.2 Mbs]* http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/Longdesc_BoxModel.wmv Using the D link Using the title attribute. Does it work? Using Lynx Future implementations of @longdesc DOM Insertion Use of virtual buffer vs DOM Insertion Mainstreaming accessibility features. How can other users be served by features implemented for people with disabilities? *HTML5 WG @Longdesc test Video: Longdesc_Node [3.3 Mbs]* http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/Longdesc_Node.wmv Values of @longdesc for explaining complex ideas portrayed by graphics/images and other uses. *HTML5 WG @Longdesc test Video: Longdesc_french [3.9 Mbs]* http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/Longdesc_french.wmv Use of @longdesc *HTML5 WG @Longdesc test Video: Longdesc_block [5.7 Mbs]* http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/Longdesc_block.wmv More @longdesc examples *HTML5 WG @Summary test Video: Summary [61.4 Mbs]* http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/HTML5WG_summary.wmv Use of virtualisation features of JAWS How @summary is used Tables in the wild Using JAWS scripts to annotate content Authors and @summary Is @summary useful and to whom? Other features of accessible tables. I hope that the group find this footage useful and that it helps to inform some of the debate and discussion around accessibility within the HTML5 WG. Feedback is very welcome. Josh [1] http://www.cfit.ie/html5_video/final/
