Section 1

194.21 Software Applications and Operating Systems

Criteria

(a) When software is designed to run on a system that has a keyboard, product functions shall be executable from a keyboard where the function itself or the result of performing a function can be discerned textually.

(b) Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated features of other products that are identified as accessibility features, where those features are developed and documented according to industry standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or disable activated features of any operating system that are identified as accessibility features where the application programming interface for those accessibility features has been documented by the manufacturer of the operating system and is available to the product developer.

(c) A well defined on-screen indication of the current focus shall be provided that moves among interactive interface elements as the input focus changes. The focus shall be programmatically exposed so that Assistive Technology can track focus and focus changes.

Supporting Features

Supports with exceptions

Remarks and explanations

Importing videos from the camcorder to a PC, a major task, can be executed from a keyboard without use of a mouse. However, almost all functions of library area and editing area cannot be executed from a keyboard

Supports Starting this application does not affect the main

accessibility features run on any operating system.

Supports with exceptions

In many areas, a screen reader can track focus and focus changes. However, in some elements, no focus is programmatically exposed, so that a screen reader cannot track focus and focus changes.

(d) Sufficient information about a user interface element including the identity, operation and state of the element shall be available to Assistive Technology. When an image represents a program element, the information conveyed by the image must also be available in text.

(e) When bitmap images are used to identify controls, status indicators, or other programmatic elements, the meaning assigned to those images shall be consistent throughout an application's performance.

(f) Textual information shall be provided through operating system functions for displaying text. The minimum information that shall be made available is text content, text input caret location, and text attributes.

Supports with exceptions

In many areas, a screen reader can read the identity, operation, or status. However, a screen reader is unable to read the identity, operation, or status for some functions of the Browser Area and Task Area.

Supports The bitmap image indicates the function's identity

and state. The meaning assigned to that image is consistent throughout the application’s performance.

Supports with exceptions

Textual information is provided through operating system functions for displaying text. A screen reader can track text content, text input caret location and text attributes. However, in some elements, a screen reader cannot track text content, text input caret location and text attributes.

(g)

Applications shall not override user selected contrast and color selections and other individual display attributes.

Supports Starting up this application does not affect main

display attributes set on any operating system.

(h) When animation is displayed, the information shall be displayable in at least one non-animated presentation mode at the option of the user.

(i) Color-coding shall not be used as the only means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element.

(j) When a product permits a user to adjust color and contrast settings, a variety of color selections capable of producing a range of contrast levels shall be provided.

(k) Software shall not use flashing or blinking text, objects, or other elements having a flash or blink frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz.

(l) When electronic forms are used, the form shall allow people using Assistive Technology to access the information, field elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of the form, including all directions and cues.

Not Applicable

Supports with exceptions

In many areas, a screen reader can access field elements, or functionality within each electronic form.
