The product documentation encourages customers to create accessible content as follows:

• It states that the Rich Text Editor allows creation of accessible content.
• It encourages customers who specify a video file for display on their website to do the following:
  • Provide a soundtrack that is sufficiently descriptive of the visible content to communicate its meaning fully to an end user who is visually impaired.
  • Upload a caption file for the video and associate it with the video, so that captioning functions in the editor's video player.
  • Customize the Media editor to include 1) a field for identifying an associated caption file, 2) a field for identifying an associated text file containing an alternative description of the video, and 3) a field for identifying an associated audio file that describes the video; and supply these associated files along with any video to be displayed on the site.
• It encourages customers who use the Media Editor to display an image on the website to provide text in the Alt Text field, so that Assistive Technology can read the alt text to the user.
• It encourages customers to test their website content for accessibility.

Exceptions:

• The out-of-the-box Media Editor needs to provide fields for a text alternative, an audio alternative, and a caption file, to encourage the business user to supply these files when specifying a video to be displayed on their website. (30147134)

The product was tested for:

• The product provides customizable "cartridges" that generate JSON or XML that can be used to display text, images, and videos on a website based on rules. A business user can use these cartridges to create content that conforms to the WCAG 2.0 AA standards. The rendering technology is independent of the cartridges.

The product was tested for:

• The Workbench User's Guide contains a chapter explaining how to navigate the user interface using the keyboard, as well as how to take advantage of other accessibility features (for example, pausing and stopping the auto-updating of information, and uploading a caption file for a video). The chapter mentions that our rich text editor allows creation of accessible content. It encourages business users to create accessible content and to test their websites for accessibility. The product's compatibility with assistive technology is available out of the box, with no action needed on the user's part.
