I have a modified proposal for GL 1.4 level 2 success criterion 3. <excerpt from john's post> GL 1.4 level 2 success criterion 3: Users can disable background audio that plays automatically on a page so that it does not interfere with text reading software they may be using Impacted: yes <proposed>"A mechanism is available to turn off background audio that plays automatically. So that the audio does not interfere with text-reading software that may be in use.</proposed> </john> <becky's proposed>"A mechanism is available to turn off background audio that plays automatically so that the audio does not interfere with assistive technology that may be in use. </becky's proposed> I would not assume that background audio only interferes with text reading software. It also might distract those with reading disabilities -although they may not be using any assistive technology. Another, more generic wording might be <proposal 2>"A mechanism is available to turn off background audio that plays automatically so that the audio does not interfere with the user's interaction with the remaining content." </proposal 2> -becky Becky Gibson Web Accessibility Architect IBM Emerging Internet Technologies 5 Technology Park Drive Westford, MA 01886 Voice: 978 399-6101; t/l 333-6101 Email: gibsonb@us.ibm.com <mailto:gibsonb@us.ibm.com>
