Section 1194.21 Software Applications and Operating Systems—Detail
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.
Supporting Features
Supported
Supporting Features
All features of Storyline are accessible via keyboard input.
(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.
Supported
No features of any other products or operating systems are disrupted or disabled by Storyline.
(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.
Supported
Storyline supports the industry standard keys for navigation through input focus elements (tab key and shift/tab key). This functionality is available to end users and to Assistive Technology. The standard input focus indication as provided by the operating system is used by Storyline and is also available to Assistive Technology. Note that it is not necessary to use interactive interface elements at all to fully access the features of Storyline. All functionality is also available via documented commands, which may be typed or otherwise input by a user.
(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.
Supported
All information available through icons and graphical user interface elements in Storyline is also available as text through a tooltip. Assistive Technology such as a Screen Reader may make this information available through speech synthetization or via a Braille output device. In addition, all functionality provided by graphical user interface elements is also available via documented commands, which may be typed or otherwise input by a user.
(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.
Supported
Bitmap images, such as icons and tool buttons, are used in a completely consistent manner throughout Storyline.
(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.
Supported
Standard operating system functions are used to output text by Storyline. Output is available as plain ASCII text and may easily be accepted by Assistive Technology, such as a Screen Reader. Text input location at the text input caret is set and available using standard operating system functions.
(g) Applications shall not override user selected contrast and color selections and other individual display attributes.
Supported
User-defined settings are fully respected by Storyline.
(h) When animation is displayed, the information shall be displayable in at least one non-animated presentation mode at the option of the user.
Not Applicable
(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.
Supported
All output in Storyline is available as noncolor-coded plain ASCII text. In addition, visual elements such as tool buttons and icons are also identified with textual tooltips to convey their meaning.
(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.
Supported
Where Storyline allows the user to adjust color settings, the full spectrum of colors and contrast settings available through the operating system may be selected.
