Web Accessibility - Priority 3

Web Accessibility: Text Supplements

Supplement Text

Use visual and auditory cues to enhance comprehension. Provide text equivalents.

The Core Techniques for Web Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 provides these examples:

A chart of complex data, such as sales figures of a business for the past fiscal year.

A translation of the text into a Sign Language movie clip. Sign Language is a very different language than spoken languages. Some people who communicate via American Sign Language are not able to read American English.

Pre-recorded audio of music, spoken language, or sound effects may also help non-readers who can perceive audio presentations.
