Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (1999-05-05)
| Glossary for
this source
Users must be able to interact with a user
agent (and the document it renders) using the supported input and
output devices of their choice and according to their needs. Input
devices may include pointing devices, keyboards, braille devices,
head wands, microphones, and others. Output devices may include
monitors, speech synthesizers, and braille devices.Please note that
"device-independent support" does not mean that user agents must
support every input or output device. User agents should offer
redundant input and output mechanisms for those devices that are
supported. For example, if a user agent supports keyboard and mouse
input, users should be able to interact with all features using
either the keyboard or the mouse.
