"Best Practices - Robust http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Robust_Techniques" taken up [from Kim] 15:09:02 jeanne has joined #mobile-a11y 15:10:45 http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Robust_Techniques 15:12:32 http://w3c.github.io/Mobile-A11y-TF-Note/ 15:13:20 scribe: jon_avila 15:13:37 TOPIC: set data entry to type of keyboard required 15:14:10 jeanne: need to note that it can be less accessible for some but more accessible for others 15:14:37 jeanne: could be issue for overlays, etc or people who predict layout 15:16:49 jeanne: for most people it will be an improvment -- people with mobility issues 15:16:55 kim: note is good idea 15:18:08 detev: rethink what moving from robut to perhaps input assistance guideline 3.3 15:19:25 kim: could be situation where developer has narrowed field to small and cut out option such as speech users being able to input 15:19:36 kim: developers may not be aware of input possibilities 15:20:24 detlev: good example with email to add @ sign and remove space. But other situations could be problematic. 15:20:42 jeanne: on iOS can usually change keyboard 15:21:14 kim: what happens when field can't handle input but speech is enabled and can input a space. 15:23:14 jon_avila: situation could arise where a keyboard doesn't support an input method such as paste but others would -- this could affect users of speech or other input methods. 15:24:50 alan: iOS keyboard only always shows caps. Android changes. 15:27:54 detlev: Seems like user agent guidelines item. Not sure how much control author has over keyboard. 15:28:22 Jeanne will add this discussion to the User Agent Capabilities page: https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/User_Agent_Capabilities 15:28:53 kim: speech users may be in app but issue a global command. With phones you typically are in narrow context -- but on Android you can have two things open at once. 15:29:46 kim: Might want to do something more than what the keyboard would show. Let the user control. 15:30:34 detlev: perhaps that beyond the advice or techniques that we give. 15:30:52 Kim: good to make people aware of the situations. Connected with consistency of commands. 15:31:21 kim: any other best practices related to setting virtual keyboard? 15:33:19 detlev: Perhaps hints or other native techniques that could be useful 15:33:55 detlev: could fit under 4.1.2 15:40:00 kim: asks question about switch users and how changes to on-screen keyboard affects them and timing/consistency 15:40:17 jeanne: more future oriented to have people support better semantics of input type 15:40:59 kim: how does the user opt out? 15:41:11 jeanne: seems that should be at the UAAG level 15:42:17 jeanne: could support authors are aware of the variety of potential input such as a physical keyboard. 15:45:04 jon_avila has joined #mobile-a11y 15:45:11 scribe: jon_avila 15:45:25 * I got kicked out of IRC but now I am back 15:47:29 detlev: harder to provide text input on mobile -- screen is small and the user may be zoomed in. 15:48:00 kim: are we talking about letters, numbers, characters? 15:48:10 kim: correcting data entry is also part of it. 15:48:27 detlev: Could also be providing input that has microphone button to support entry by voice 15:48:51 kim: can't backspace with speech 15:48:57 jeanne: Platform issue. 15:49:04 kim: Different input methods have different abilities 15:49:20 kim: gesture input may be limited 15:51:49 alan: easy is ambiguous term that is hard to test 15:53:38 kim: Are we looking for techniques that accommodate all methods? 15:54:03 detlev: good to have more than one way. 15:54:17 Mikep: multiple ways to support input modalities 15:55:29 Jon: Specifying the input method can be tricky by being unnecessarily restrictive 15:56:05 Jon: Having the date picker could mean not having the mic 15:56:32 kim: some input methods breakdown quickly. We need consistency -- but many things are controlled by the platform 15:57:28 detlev: thinking of suggestion list that has an added advantage. Would not take aways ability but add to it. Good general technique. Not sure where it might fit. 15:58:59 kim: don't want to narrow the input abilities 15:59:15 q? 16:00:55 jeanne: is a platform bug 16:01:40 zakim, make minutes 16:01:40 I don't understand 'make minutes', jon_avila 16:01:54 zakim, attendees 16:01:54 I don't understand 'attendees', jon_avila 16:02:04 RRSAgent, make minutes 16:02:04 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2015/06/04-mobile-a11y-minutes.html jon_avila 16:05:44 chair: Kimberly_Patch 16:05:54 RRSAgent, make minutes 16:05:54 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2015/06/04-mobile-a11y-minutes.html Kim 16:06:59 chair: Kimberly_Patch 16:07:12 RRSAgent, make minutes 16:07:12 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2015/06/04-mobile-a11y-minutes.html Kim 16:10:47 present+ Kimberly_Patch, Jeanne_Spellman, Jon_Avila, Detlev_Fisher, Mike_Pluke, Mark_Johlic, Alan 16:11:00 RRSAgent, make minutes 16:11:00 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2015/06/04-mobile-a11y-minutes.html Kim 16:22:27 present Kimberly_Patch, Jeanne_Spellman, Jon_Avila, Detlev_Fisher, Mike_Pluke, Mark_Johlic, Alan 16:22:53 RRSAgent, make minutes 16:22:53 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2015/06/04-mobile-a11y-minutes.html Kim
