Re: barrier between the content and the user

The whole unknown in this is what is considered "additional abilities" in a
cognitive realm?  Most people who are not accessibility experts would not
understand what this means or how to test it.

HI Lisa,

Just came across this while catching up on COGA email, apologies if this
has been discussed already. To me, it is not clear if it is the task or the
content that requires additional abilities in the new sentence. In the
original sentence the barrier is what requires additional abilities to
reach the content. Perhaps I am misunderstanding both sentences.

Best regards,
Kurt Mattes

  When there is a barrier between the content and the user that requires
  additional abilities an alternative is provided that does not require
  additional abilities.

  to

  When the user needs to compete a task to reach  the content  that
  requires additional abilities an alternative is provided that does not
  require additional abilities.

   Is that clearer?


  As a reminder  - this includes security and voice menu systems

  All the best
