I don't want us to be too focused on screenreaders. 16:11:59 q+ to note that, e.g., Voice Over is not "free" 16:12:05 ack bruce 16:12:05 bruce_bailey, you wanted to note that, e.g., Voice Over is not "free" 16:12:08 ... as an author, you just follow the methods provided and then you meet the spec 16:12:15 ... as you go up levels, you'd need to test 16:12:16 q+ to echo Jeanne's comments in IRC 16:12:35 Computers and phones are not really free either... nothing is, but there isn't an extra cost if you have a disability 16:12:38 q+ to ask how we clarify that 16:12:46 bruce_bailey: Voice Over is not free (gratis) 16:12:48 q+ 16:12:58 ack ch 16:12:58 Chuck, you wanted to echo Jeanne's comments in IRC 16:13:02 ack Rach 16:13:02 Rachael, you wanted to ask how we clarify that 16:13:11 proprietary? 16:13:16 Rachael: maybe "included in price of platform"? 16:14:07 ack Gregg 16:14:16 ... also how do we say which screen readers are high enough quality? 16:15:01 q+ 16:16:00 GreggVan: we need to look at a broader range of AT available 16:16:20 ... also "basically free" in US could be horribly expensive in other parts of the world 16:16:29 ack Ben 16:17:00 Ben_Tillyer1: battery drains quicker on phone with voice control on than off, so there are indirect costs as well 16:17:07 can’t understand 16:17:24 noted, must be using the wrong mic 16:18:26 q? 16:18:40 ... direct costs (price) vs indirect costs (power, data, etc) 16:19:06 Chuck: mentioning names of companies/products directly vs being more ambiguous? 16:19:28 alastairc: leave to others what the set of required technology would be 16:19:40 ... UK, for example, requires public sector to test specific ATs 16:20:44 ... reader view may not work for users, for example, if text is being protected so it can't be used 16:20:57 ... but you could still meet the guideline by providing that yourself 16:21:50 q+ 16:21:53 ack Ch 16:22:00 ... prereq of motion would be "you respect users' motion preferences", but if you don't, or if you're using a platform that doesn't support that, you'd need a button to set that 16:23:23 Chuck: as time goes on, the burden will shift from the author to UA/platform as technology progresses 16:25:22 q+ to ask who takes responsibility 16:25:32 Chuck has joined #ag 16:25:43 q? 16:25:46 ack Rach 16:25:46 Rachael, you wanted to ask who takes responsibility 16:25:50 alastairc: technique would be you pass if you use browser default focus indicator, but you need to check when you change background 16:26:10 Rachael: segregate by language? (ex: does this technology support this language group?) 16:26:27 q+ 16:26:29 ack Ch 16:26:29 ... is it the author's responsibility to know whether the AT works, or the W3C's? 16:26:39 ... in some ways, that's what we did with 4.1.1 16:26:44 q+ 16:27:04 I really appreciate the focus appearance example. 16:27:05 Chuck: if we were to take that on and be the definitive source for that, that requires additional work for our group 16:27:06 ack Rach 16:27:16 ... there's also value in us owning that, but work to 16:27:32 q? 16:27:49 Rachael: we implicitly own that right now --- we don't create standards for stuff that doesn't work, and we deprecated 4.1.1 16:27:59 https://github.com/w3c/wcag3/discussions/104#discussioncomment-10313498 16:28:05 +1 not a decision point yet 16:28:09 +1 to Rachael that AG already owns this question (per 4.1.1 experience). 16:29:40 should overlay(s) be in this discussion? 16:29:54 q+ 16:29:55 q+ 16:30:01 ack ala 16:30:28 alastairc: overlays are provided by the site, but they're intended to be kind of a user agent 16:30:34 +1 to that 16:30:42 ... i think i would learn towards them being authored content instead of UA 16:30:47 ack Rach 16:30:50 +1 16:30:51 The user + browser cannot influence whether the overlay is installed 16:30:55 ... so i don't think it changes the equation 16:31:14 Rachael: agree. also with ai, i don't think we should be considering specific technology yet 16:31:28 jtoles has joined #ag 16:31:36 ... instead, we should be working on a framework that can adapt to changing technology 16:31:44 q? 16:32:23 q? 16:32:38 overlays are 100% on the site side, the site owner chooses whether to have them on the site or not.
