Close: The sufficient techniques section of the 23 November 2005 of How to Meet SC 1.1.6 addresses this issue.
Close: The 23 November 2005 draft includes the link phrase, "How to meet SC N.N."
Close: The 23 November 2005 draft uses and defines terms "live audio-only" and "live video-only."
This issue suggests that examples for 1.1.1 that discuss animations should indicate when no audio is present. A comment on this issue suggests rejecting it since this would imply that all video-only and animated content should either include "no audio present" or be captioned.
Close: Any video that includes audio would be (by definition) multimedia and would not be covered under guideline 1.1 where captions (or a text-transcript) are required.
This issue suggests rewording the clause "if text alternatives can not serve..." to clarify that this phrase refers only to situations where it is impossible for the author to supply a text alternative that would provide equivalent functionality, rather than cases where the supplied text alternative merely fails to provide equivalent functionality.
Current: For non-text content that is functional, text alternatives serve the same purpose as the non-text content. If text alternatives can not serve the same purpose as the functional non-text content, text alternatives identify the purpose of the functional non-text content.
Here are two possibilities for addressing this:
The intent of this success criterion is to ensure that the function of non-text content, such as images used as submit buttons, is available in text form. In some cases, for example, whenfunctional content that is very complex, it is not possible for authors to describe the function of non-text content in a text alternative. In these cases, the purpose of the functional non-text content is identified in the alternative.
Example: An online photo editor
An embedded user interface allows uers to upload and modify photographs online. The interface includes the ability to crop, resize, color correct and apply various special effects to images. The text alternative identifies the purpose of the non-text content as "photo editor: upload and modify your photographs online." The photo editor interface is accessible.
Asserts that the 1.1.1 benefit which reads, "People who are deaf, are hard of hearing, or who are having trouble understanding audio information for any reason can read the text presentation or have it translated and presented as sign language by assistive technology." implies that assistive technologies can somehow automatically convert text-alternatives into sign language.
Propose: Remove "by assistive technology" from this benefit and close this issue.
Raises some good points regarding the immediacy of a link to a transcript and metadata. Suggest that this be covered in How to Meet SC 1.1.6 and assign an action item to include (perhaps in advisory?) information about metadata.
Includes some proposals and ideas regarding examples for the L3 SC1 criterion. Suggest we accept these suggestions and assign an action item to draft examples for inclusion in the corresponding How to meet documents.
The following issues require clarification from the reviewer:
