使画布和网站可访问:什么不起作用

下面的列表包含了导致网络和社交媒体内容无法访问的最常见问题 and quick steps on how to avoid them:

  • Providing non-text materials without a text alternative; images, video, audio, 如果没有文本替代,其他非文本内容将无法访问
    • Instead: provide text descriptions, 标题, 成绩单, or other text alongside the non-text material
  • Providing directions that rely on sensory characteristics; phrases like “to the right” or “the blue circle” have little or no value for students using screen readers
    • 相反:使用元素的特定名称及其与其他元素的比较位置
  • Using images of text (exception: logo types); including text as an image creates an unnecessary layer of inaccessibility
    • 相反:删除图像并用文本替换它
  • Using color or underline as the only means of conveying meaning or importance; visual indicators are inaccessible to many readers
    • 相反:使用可编程确定的样式和标签来支持视觉指示器.
  • 使用成语, 俗语, or jargon outside of topic specific terminology; language that is unclear, 模糊的, 或者不相关的内容会给很多读者造成障碍.
    • 相反,要使用清晰准确的语言,以适应读者预期的知识水平.
    • 为了文体目的,习语和俗语应该明确定义.
  • Displaying links as full URLs, 模棱两可的单词, or repetitive phrases; using language such as “click here” makes links difficult to identify for all readers, 完整的网址很难让几乎所有人阅读.
    • 相反:使用简短的短语来表明链接的目的或目的地
    • Exception: Physical documents need full URLs; the purpose of the URL should be indicated within the context, 有些url可能需要缩短,以便完全访问.
