 Baseline for Web Accessibility - U.S. Access Board - August 4, 2021

U.S. Access Board Launches New Site for the ICT Testing Baseline for Web Accessibility
August 04, 2021
U.S. Access Board
August 4, 2021

Testing information and communication technology (ICT), including websites, for accessibility is essential to ensure conformance with the Section 508 Standards that apply to ICT in the federal sector. However, there are two ways to test webpages for conformance: manual review and fully automated tools. Often a mix of manual and automated testing is needed to fully evaluate most websites.  The results, however, may vary according to the test methods used. It is important that test procedures align to an established framework or "baseline" to ensure that the results accurately evaluate conformance with the standards.
In partnership with the General Services Administration (GSA) and the ICT Baseline Working Group in coordination with the CIO Council Accessibility Community of Practice (CIOC ACOP), the U.S. Access Board has released a baseline for testing web content. The ICT Testing Baseline for Web Accessibility sets minimum testing criteria and evaluation guidance to determine if web content meets the 508 Standards that incorporate by reference the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA. Issued by the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative, WCAG 2.0 is a globally recognized, technology-neutral standard for web content.
The ICT Testing Baseline describes how to evaluate conformance and is organized by categories to help users easily identify applicable requirements. The Baseline itself is not a test process and does not include testing tools, but it can be used to create an accessibility test process. It can also be used to assess how well an existing test process evaluates conformance with the Section 508 requirements.
To aid comprehension of the Section 508/WCAG test requirements, the Baseline Tests for Web are in categories such as images, forms, keyboard, synchronized media, and sensory characteristics. Each test includes the applicable accessibility requirements, test method rationale, and procedures and instructions to assess accessibility properties and determine test results. Some Baseline tests have multiple accessibility requirements. For example, the Forms Baseline Test has eight accessibility requirements and test procedures for each requirement.
Test procedures indicate the content to test (Identify Content), what to check (Test Instructions), and what determines a pass/fail outcome (Test Results) as illustrated in this example from the Forms Baseline:
10.5 Test Procedure for Form has a Label
Baseline Test ID: 10.5-FormHasLabel
Identify Content
Find all form components. Examples include buttons, text fields, radio buttons, checkboxes, multi-select lists.
Find all instructions and cues (textual and graphical) that are related to form components, including groupings, order of completion, special conditions or qualifiers, format instructions, etc.
Test Instructions
Check that each form component has label(s) or instructions. [SC 3.3.2]
Test Results
If any of the above checks fail, then Baseline Test 10.5-FormHasLabel fails.
Utilizing the Baseline to create or evaluate a test process ensures that all Section 508 requirements are tested. While some accessibility requirements are clearly applicable to just one type of element, some requirements apply to many elements. WCAG SC 1.3.1 Info and Relationships, for example, is a single but very broad requirement that is tested by four Baseline tests.
Many agencies have used the DHS Trusted Tester test process for their manual testing of webpage evaluation. The DHS Trusted Tester version 5.1 is a manual testing process that was developed from the ICT Testing Baseline for Web. Manual testing processes are time-consuming methods, and one of the goals for publishing the Baseline is to facilitate validation of methods which also include automated tools. Until automated tools are capable of evaluating conformance to all Section 508 requirements, the best test procedures involve a combination that provides both the efficiency and speed of automated tools and the accuracy of manual testing.
The Baseline allows agencies to evaluate their own test processes, review others' accessibility conformance reports, and trust others' reports on web accessibility. Federal agencies are encouraged to review the Baseline, which is recognized as a best practice by the Federal CIOC ACOP, and begin their alignment efforts. Users are invited to propose improvements and submit test cases to help validate test processes and tools through a GitHub repository.
The Baseline interagency working group is developing a procedure for federal agencies to validate how well existing test processes align to the Baseline. Test processes that demonstrate alignment to the Baseline will be acknowledged as reliable processes or determining Section 508 conformance.

Subject: [blindLaw] Questions Regarding Drawing diagrams to solve the
 Logic Games Section
Message-ID: <D58E0EFC-D374-434C-8495-794C34C17BCC@gmail.com>

Thanks Helga. That stinks. I though I had read on many other blogs and on the LSAC's web site a few months ago that the logic games section will no longer be included. I suppose I now have the same question as the above individual has expressed.  The logic games section was rather difficult when I last took the LSAT. 

Warm regards,
Aimee

I just have some questions regarding dealing with the Logic games section of the exam, when it comes in drawing the diagrams to solve each specific games. For those who  use Excel   and Microsoft word to create  these diagrams, what sort of techniques  you use to organize your data, and write your information down on them  and also to   find each data accordingly to solve each game?  I’m just   wondering since I am planning  to use MS word to write my elements and clues and Excel to create the diagram. I will really appreciate any suggestions you could provide me. I look forward to hear from you soon. Thanks so much for reading!

DPD provides high-quality legal representation to indigent clients. DPD practices in several areas, including felonies, misdemeanors, juvenile defense, family defense (dependency cases), involuntary commitment (mental illness), sex offender commitment, and contempt of court. The department also works to address racial disproportionality in the criminal legal system, the collateral consequences of system involvement, and other structural and/or systemic issues that undermine the rights of our clients. DPD employs skilled investigators, mitigation specialists, paralegals, and other support staff. Expert services are regularly funded, in keeping with state court rules.

Successful candidates will be dedicated, hard-working advocates, with the ability to develop excellent trial, research, and writing skills. An ability to think critically and creatively in a fast-paced environment is essential in this role, as well as a passion for public defense and a demonstrated commitment to representing indigent persons. Strong candidates will also possess the ability to receive feedback constructively and to reflect on and modify performance accordingly.

The scope of representation expected of an attorney is determined by the nature of the case assignment and the Rules of Professional Conduct. Caseload standards are established in accordance with the State Supreme Court’s Standards for Indigent Defense, union bargaining agreements, and the Washington State Bar Association Guidelines. Attorneys in DPD are expected to participate in ongoing training to improve their level of practice.

This is a huge development in CVAA and Section 255 enforcement. I hope the ViaTalk citation will convince covered businesses who do not yet comply to get their act together.

Client Advisory: FCC Issues Citation against VoIP Provider, Signals Broad Expansion of Disability Access/CVAA Enforcement: The Time to Revisit Your Company’s Compliance is Now!

  _____  


In an unprecedented move, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC” or “Commission”) issued a citation against ViaTalk, LLC (the “ <https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/lZzMCZ6oDMhorvoCKQuAI?domain=commlawgroup.us2.list-manage.com> ViaTalk Order”), an interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) provider, finding that the company violated the Commission’s disability access rules by its failure to ensure its disabled subscribers had access to the same product support information the company provided to its non-disabled customers.  The FCC also cited ViaTalk for years of failing to file the annual compliance certification, signed by an officer of the company.

The ViaTalk order illustrates that under the  <https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/u2lGC1wnzZhE2gECXueTD?domain=commlawgroup.us2.list-manage.com> Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (“CVAA”) and Section 255 of the Communications Act, it is not enough for telecommunications manufacturers, suppliers and service providers (including I-VoIP and non-interconnected or “one way” VoIP providers) to make their products and services accessible to persons with disabilities, these companies MUST ALSO ensure that their products and services are “usable,” as explained below.

The Usability Requirement

In the telecom disability rights landscape, “usability” refers broadly to the ability of people with disabilities to learn how to use covered products and services, including their accessibility features, effectively and independently. To fulfill this goal, FCC regulations require equipment suppliers and service providers to ensure access to information and documentation provided to other customers for customers with disabilities. Such information and documentation includes user guides, bills, installation guides for end-user installable devices, and product support communications, regarding both the product in general and the accessibility features of the product.

The usability requirement applies to practically everyone in the chain of telecommunications product development and distribution, and to telecommunications providers generally, as well as to advanced communications services (“ACS” and end-user equipment used to access them. ACS include interconnected VoIP, non-interconnected VoIP, electronic messaging, and interoperable video conferencing services.

The ViaTalk Order

The ViaTalk Order arose from an unresolved consumer Request for Dispute Assistance, which escalated into an informal complaint. The aggrieved ViaTalk customer, a quadriplegic, had been a ViaTalk subscriber for more than a decade. After beginning to experience problems with ViaTalk’s service, he opened a support ticket with the company, which sent him a new adapter to resolve his service issue. He then requested a call for additional troubleshooting, because he had difficulty navigating the online support platform due to his disability. Despite multiple requests for ViaTalk to call him to troubleshoot the problem he continued to have with the VoIP service, including installation of the adapter, the company never called or followed up to schedule the requested call.

In the subsequent FCC enforcement proceeding, the company defended its inaction by claiming that the requests to schedule a specific time for assistance were accompanied by threats to take legal action, and that its “support representatives don’t have authority or training to represent ViaTalk regarding legal matters.” In so arguing, ViaTalk assured that it “would have made this accommodation had the legal action statements” not been made. The Commission was not convinced.

Although the FCC concluded that ViaTalk’s VoIP service is accessible to consumers with disabilities, it found that the company violated the usability requirement by ignoring the quadriplegic customer’s request for technical support over the phone. The Commission soundly rejected the company’s “support representatives are not lawyers” defense, noting that “it is not unusual for customers who are dissatisfied with a situation to threaten legal action against a company” and that threats of legal action do not eliminate the obligation to comply with the usability requirement. ViaTalk now faces a possible forfeiture or other sanctions, which will be determined by the Commission’s Enforcement Bureau in a later proceeding.

The ViaTalk Order demonstrates that the FCC takes alleged accessibility and usability violations seriously.

If you are concerned that your covered products or services may not comply with the CVAA or other accessibility laws, or that your products or services lack accessible supporting information or documentation, please contact  <https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/WxEwC2koAZFEPrEC9xQHF?domain=commlawgroup.us2.list-manage.com> Michal J. Nowicki, Esq., at (703) 714-1311 or  <mailto:mjn at commlawgroup.com> mjn at commlawgroup.com.

Being blind himself, Mr. Nowicki has over five years of experience with the CVAA and a strong passion for accessibility. Along with the Chief of the FCC Disability Rights Office and the Vice President of Corporate Design at Poly, Inc. — the maker of various telecommunications devices — he recently hosted a webinar educating businesses on tapping into a market of 60 million Americans with disabilities through accessibility.

Hey Guys, I am going crazy. I am currently working at a criminal defense 
firm as a legal intern. I just recently took the bar exam, but I have 
not received my scores yet. I need to read a criminal arrest report, but 
some parts of the document is write by hand. I tried using AIR, but they 
are so expensive and they really do not transcribe documents. I tried 
using Be My Eyes, but the document is in a PDF, so no volunteer can read 
the document; even if, they take a picture of the document with there 
cell phone. I tried converting the document to a searchable PDF, but 
that was a total nightmare. I could only read twenty percent of the 
document. I spoke with the owner of the law firm, and suggested that 
someone read the document into a MP3, but he said, "No because that 
would not be a good use of his resources." Also, he said, that "Everyone 
must pull there own weight." I tried hiring a part-time Paralegal 
remotely, but she is not working out as well. Moreover, I only make $13 
an hour. The firm is very small with only five people including the 
owner. I am running out of ideas. I love the job, but someone told me, 
that "You cannot be a criminal defense attorney alone. You need an 
assistance. How is that possible, when I have not passed the bar exam?  
Please help! I have only worked at this law firm for two weeks



Sincerely,


Roderick Thomas.

Roderick:

What kind of information are you looking for in the report? I'm
apparently more fortunate than I knew. Our state's court database adds
all charges, disposition, information sheet, etcetera in plaintext as
well as a scanned PDF. I also have paralegals and law students who are
happy to read things to me once in a while, but if I know exactly what
I'm looking for, I might even call over to the court clerk's office to
ask a specific question.

Incidentally, I also recommend to everyone that we tighten up all of
our blindness and other soft skills to be as truly equitable as
possible such that we build up good will for when we do need
additional assistance.

Warmth,
Sanho

You might try downloading seeing AI; it is an app you can download on your phone; I have had really good luck with it.  It is from London.  I too get frustrated with police reports.  They are full of acronyms and abbreviations and tables that my ocr softwareget  wrong.  I have been a criminal defense attorney for about 20 years and I do have an assistant and AIRA and they are helpful.  My other advice is to get a get a friend or relative to help you out until you can afford to use Aira.  Let me know if I can be assistance and good luck!

Roderick,

I am not a lawyer, but I have some thoughts from a technical and general perspective.  In the long run, you will have to get a sense of how much handwriting you will need to read.  Other lawyers here can answer that better than I can, but it is almost certain that this will be a recurring issue.  At this point, there just isn't anything that will reliably convert handwriting into characters that allow us to examine with a screen reader.  Seeing AI was suggested in another note but while I have occasionally gotten it to read certain bits of handwriting, I don't think it will reliably read handwriting for legal purposes.  There are times, though, when reading a paper document using an iPhone will be valuable.  Seeing AI will do that as will VoiceDream Scanner and Supersense.  All three tend to read different things well, so it makes sense to know all three well.  If you are a JAWS user, you have access to Convenient OCR which can also work, but none of these will reliably read handwriting all of the time or even very completely.

I am not sure what issue prevents you from getting information from "Be My Eyes" from a PDF, although it might be an issue to run that app and an app that reads PDF's.  Did you try displaying it on another computer screen and have them read the document from that screen?  If the document isn't too long, printing it out on paper would give you another option to try with Be My Eyes.  If you need this specific document to move ahead with a project right now, figuring out how to make it possible for Be My Eyes to read it might be a good solution if you don't have anybody available to help you out for the short term.  However, you will want to take an organized approach.  You don't want them to read the whole document from start to finish.  You will want them to see where the handwriting is.  There may be large portions of the document you can read that is regular text and you might be able to have them concentrate on the areas that have handwriting.

You said you could only read 20% of the document.  Is that because 80% is written by hand or are there other issues?  When reading a PDF on a personal computer, there are options that can sometimes help if you are getting the text out of order.  Acrobat has an option to read from left to right, top to bottom, or Infer reading order from document.  Trying both options may result in getting something more satisfactory, but it won't change the handwriting issue.  

If the PDF's are being prepared for you from printed documents, there may be scanner settings that might allow a document to be converted to text more reliably.  It is hard to make suggestions along those lines without more information.

This is likely frustrating for you.  Remember, though, that employers offer internships to find out how creative potential employees are.  It also gives you a chance to experiment to some degree and learn.  Good luck.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

I did not understand the police report was handwritten; In Texas where I
practice the reports are typed, but unfortunately they are in a table format
and have many abbreviations.  I use Kurswell, Jaws ocr and Adobe, but all
three get these tables and columns out of order and misread some of the
characters.  If someone on this list has found a reliable way to have these
type of documents OCR'd; I'd love to talk to them.

including the owner. I am running out of ideas. I love the job, but someone
told me, that "You cannot be a criminal defense attorney alone. You need an
assistance. How is that possible, when I have not passed the bar exam?
Please help! I have only worked at this law firm for two weeks



Sincerely,


Roderick Thomas.

Hi All,

I understand that this is a bit off topic, but we should all get some kind of physical activity in light of how desk-bound the job of an attorney tends to be, and that has gotten amplified during the pandemic. To that end, I am wondering if there are favorite brands/models of treadmills out there that are accessible. I am not asking for anything fancy: just the ability to turn the unit on and adjust speed and inclined without having to interact with a touch screen but rather a flat button as you see on microwaves. I can design my own workout and locate music. A water bottle holder and stand for your phone are a nice bonus. Durability is important, and I am willing to spend good money for solid construction. As a result, many Nordic Track units are out, since I have not found them sturdy for daily use, but let me know if there is some amazing premium line that I am not considering! I wanted to ask you all for ideas before I start cold calling manufacturers because the verbal descriptions on websites are laughably useless for the kinds of parameters I have in mind. I would appreciate your sharing thoughts with me.

Thanks!
Nikki

Nikki, 

Are you looking to run, walk, or possibly both? And would you mind telling me how tall you are? I ask because the line of treadmills I recommend to most people are suspect in their affordability, but are honestly as durable and reliable as anything I've ever seen, just without the bells and whistles. 

Warmth, 
Sanho

I recently purchased a Landis treadmill which I like. It has a flat non-touchscreen panel which can easily be labeled in braille, A number pad which can also be labeled, and tactile buttons to adjust speed, incline, start and stop The unit.

Thanks! Squarely on the moderate to intense side of things: I either due a brisk walk on max incline or full out run/sprint on small incline at a medium speed. I am 5.4 but have a long stride.

I don’t know what brand my gym uses, but the buttons for start/stop, 
increase/decrease speed, and increase/decrease incline are tactile. 
I’ll ask someone at the gym for a make/model. Presumably its pretty 
durable if its in use at a commercial gym.

I don’t know what brand my gym uses, but the buttons for start/stop, increase/decrease speed, and increase/decrease incline are tactile.
I’ll ask someone at the gym for a make/model. Presumably its pretty durable if its in use at a commercial gym.

In terms of tables ABBY fine reader is great.

In terms of handwritten notes, I was very clear with my summer employers
that old PDFs or those with hand written notes are not good for my
computer.

I would print the document and then OCR it with
SeeingAI, handwritten mode.
Or just send it to my mom to read. Family members and friends are great!

Good luck!

I just downloaded a 7 day free trial of Abby Fine reader 15 to try it out
and I opened a pdf and Jaws and NVDA were unable to get me to the menu.  Is
there something I can do differently to access the program.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I don’t know what brand my gym uses, but the buttons for start/stop,
increase/decrease speed, and increase/decrease incline are tactile.
I’ll ask someone at the gym for a make/model. Presumably its pretty
durable if its in use at a commercial gym.

Section 508 Best Practices Webinar: The Civil Rights Complaint Portal: An Accessibility Journey

[Laptop computer sits on desk and has "Webinar" text on its screen]A new design to the Civil Rights Reporting Portal has integrated accessibility to improve the usability for the public to report concerns and discrimination. The next webinar in the Section 508 Best Practices Webinar Series will take place September 28 from 1:00 to 2:30 (ET) and will feature members from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and 18-F at the General Services Administration (GSA) who will present on their collaborative efforts to improve the functionality of the external user interface and the data collected as well as increase analysis and response efficiency.

This project began with DOJ staff asking how it could overhaul the Civil Rights Reporting Portal and integrate accessibility as foundational to the new design to improve the usability and accessibility of the existing online portal. The project team consolidated a complex process involving dozens of unique reporting pathways into a single stream lined accessible user experience. The enhanced site models accessibility for persons with disabilities, and the team continues to ensure that new features are vetted for accessibility.

Questions can be submitted in advance of the session or can be posed during the live webinar. Webinar attendees can receive a participation certificate for attending the 90-minute session.

A telephone option (not toll-free) for receiving audio is also available.

The Section 508 Best Practices Webinar Series provides helpful information and best practices for federal agencies in meeting their obligations under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act which ensures access to information and communication technology in the federal sector.
