Accessibility

Ensure equivalent information for all users

Overview

Audio-Only And Video-Only (Prerecorded)

An encoder is required in order to provide audio-only or video-only content in an accessible format, ensuring that the services are available to all users. In the case we happen to receive personal data in accordance with a customer agreement, we may be acting as our customer’s data processor. This requirement would ensure that data included in playable media may be accessed through alternative means. If the content is solely audio-based, such a speech recording, a transcript of the speech should be provided. Similarly, a transcript is preferred for video-only content, such as silent demonstration videos, since it includes all the necessary visual information and allows AT to modify it in various ways. Alternatively, content that is demonstrated solely through videos might have an audio track.
Exceptions
The requirement does not apply when audio or video content is used as an alternative media format for text content, and it should not contain anything not already in the text.

Captions (Prerecorded)

An encoder should provide audio-only or video-only content in a format that is accessible to all users. It makes these services accessible to all users. For example, if we collect personal data from a customer based on a customer contract as the data processor of our customer. This requirement would mean that you can access data contained in playable media through alternative means. Get a text transcript of what was said at the lecture it’s audio-only content, such as an audio cast of a lecture Likewise, for video-only content such as silent demonstration videos: a text transcript is preferable. The reason is that it holds all the visual information needed to understand it. And an AT can transform it in a multitude of different ways. Or video-only content might have an audio track.
Exceptions
The requirement does not apply when audio or video content serves as an alternative media format for text content and contains nothing beyond the text.

Audio Description Or Media Alternative (Prerecorded)

For pre-recorded time-based media, such as video, audio, and animation, alternative media technologies provide audio descriptions or other formats. Descriptions are extended audio versions of the non-text features. It includes actions, characters, and key visual information found in the content. It will be available to users with visual impairments. A full script or audio description means all the information you see or hear is available in an accessible form.
Exceptions
You would not need an audio description if the alternative content is provided in the form of the text alternative. Also, if it is marked by the attribute alternate text, or it has been identified and labelled.

Captions (Live)

Captions are extremely important in live audio content for synchronised media. This allows users who may have vision impairments to use the content. The captions can be synchronised with action, scene changes, character movements, or any screen text, but additional narration or an extra soundtrack is included in many cases. Note: This requirement meets audio description guidelines whereby all services and information must be available with either an audio description or text alternative. Specifically, compliance under requirement 1.2.5 mandates an audio description.
Exceptions
In a situation in which the audio captures the entire visual information content of a scene, that is, a “talking head” scenario in which there is little to no change in the visual, an audio description may be unnecessary.

Info And Relationships

Presentation attributes, including information, structure, and relationships, must be programmatically determined or presented in the text.

Other Information With Your Consent

At Muttii, we ensure that any additional data collection occurs only for agreed purposes with full transparency at every step. I also focus on making information accessible through Assistive Technologies (AT), so that tools such as a screen reader or a magnifier are allowed to describe content based on users’ preferences.

All graphics we use-headings, captions, labels, forms, and links-all are attributed so navigation is smooth. In case the graphics lack explicit programmatic identifiers, we provide alternative text labels in bold or italics so readers know what the graphics are referring to.

Enriching visual accessibility complements audio accessibility to give our customers a fully inclusive experience.

Meaningful Sequence

Content for such accessibility that its content should provide clarity, followed by a logical sequence that may be both audible and programmatically distinguishable. This way, if one has to listen to the full content dictated through a screen reader, one will fully understand what it means and in what order.

You need to structure content in a way like that of two-column layouts. Reading order should be logical. It will create confusion if the content is to be read sequentially using screen readers. Especially, when a two-column layout is in a form that does not logically work or occurs in a strange sequence. Again, problems like bad CSS styling or too much white space can further affect the sequence and confuse.

Although the navigation order-the way that users navigate their way through the interactive elements – might differ from the reading order, the reading order needs to reflect the content’s meaning accurately. Non-critical objects such as side navigation may not be a problem in terms of accessibility, but what matters is that the reading sequence is correct for it to be accessible.

Sensory Characteristics

Instructions cannot rely on characteristics such as shape or position that are related to sensory features.

This means that instructions do not have to rely on audio or visual cues. Use text labels such that what is being read is legible on various devices or reflowed content. This removes the problem of accessible issues because of a change in sensory characteristics.

Orientation

Content needs to be viewable at all orientations, meaning both portrait and landscape.

This also means that content isn’t by default only horizontal or vertical. It implies that it follows the device orientation as may be required by users who can’t change the orientation of the device. Exceptions where the function of the content directly depends on the orientation of the content, such as piano keyboard emulators, where other orientations do not make much sense.
