Hi Silvia,

Do you have any thoughts on how specifically to implement this, and to surface it to assistive technologies?  Based on the IA2/MSAA architecture (or for that matter, the ATK architecture), there would be some specific UI element in the hierarchy that would implement some interface enabling an assistive technology to get at this information. 

For example, a Play/Pause button which could be diagrammatically manipulated, in order to activate the play() function.  Likewise, some UI component displaying the captions (whether actually visible on the screen or not), which the AT could query to get the caption text - and receive events from whenever that caption text changes.

If the example above captures the use case(s), then perhaps we don't actually need any new API so much as we need a design pattern document explaining how this all should work and be used.


Regards,

Peer

Hi all,

I am new to this list, so a quick intro: I am involved in the W3C
HTML5 accessibility task force and work on video specs.

I added the need for an API for time-aligned text descriptions of
video to the bottom of that wiki page, since there is text there that
we need to expose. It's probably even broader than just text
descriptions - you'd probably want to expose all text cues (snippets)
of all types of text tracks, which includes captions and subtitles and
chapters. So, I'd like to bring this issue before this group and have
a think about how we may be able to satisfy this need.

Best Regards,
Silvia.

Hi, Jamie. I missed Mick suggestion on the list. It's sounds reasonable and
I agree we should try it before getting new API for this since the issue is
mostly about events.

Thank you.
Alex.

Hi.

Nice work; good to get the discussion going. :)

I still don't see a need for this registry API. Why not just use
IsWinEventHookInstalled(), as Mick suggested on the IA2 list?

Thanks.

Jamie
