not sure why i'm so noisy...nothing at my end

i'll close some windows etc and see if that makes a difference

Accidental Activation (finalize) - https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Proposed_revision_of_2.5.3

<scribe> Scribe: patrick_h_lauke

<Kathy> https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Proposed_Speech_Input

[discussion on whether we want to reopen the discussion about px and target sizes, decision to stick with what we decided last week as the value is likely to be discussed further once it reaches WCAG WG]

<Kim> https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Proposed_Single_Key_Shortcut_Alternative

<Kim> https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Proposed_Speech_Command_Mechanism

Kim: the first one connects speech input to keyboard access.

The second relates to turning all single character shortcuts off

Last one related to user being able to enter a multi-character string as customised shortcut

Kim: let's start with the first

Detlev: key question is what's impact on web content, what authors should or shouldn't do. it's not clear to me

i'm not sure if macros etc are done at web content level, or at AT level

or UA level

<David_> https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/conformance.html#accessibility-supporteddef

<David_> https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/conformance.html

Detlev: we should have examples of what can go wrong

Kim: if you grab keycodes before they can get to the program (user agent)

like Google Docs takes keycodes before speech recognition programme can interpret them

but we need more examples

Detlev: that would be a good example

the key thing is that it's operable through keyboard

that's main problem

Kathy: there is known issue when you do error checking, and that checking is done by capturing keystrokes rather than looking at value of input, the value is not known for instance because of how Dragon inputs text

<David_> https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/#atdef

results in users not being able to continue

Kim: is this Dragon's fault?

Kathy: it's a Dragon issue, but also affects autocomplete in browser

as values are injected, rather than sending keycodes

Kim: what i do is have macros that are actual keystrokes

but should Dragon fix it?

Kathy: it's still an issue for autocomplete, might be other tools

Kim: is this related to google docs (it grabs all keystrokes)

Patrick: this SC seems contradictory with the other two SCs

it seems to say, essentially from our discussion: don't intercept keystrokes

<Detlev> Patrick: First SC may be redundant siince we require all to be operably by KB already

while the next two SCs talk about being able to turn them off, AND having shortcuts that are multi-chars

[longer discussion, also pointing to M6 that covers the validation issue mentioned by Kathy]

Patrick: propose that this first SC is in fact redundant (also as keyboard access itself is already in WCAG)

<David_> https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/conformance.html

so drop this SC, and the more specific examples/situations just discussed are covered by Kim's other two SCs and my M6

David: agree this seems to be covered

but examples could be moved to those other cases

Kim: agree

so moving to the other two SCs

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Proposed_Single_Key_Shortcut_Alternative

<Detlev> Patrick: Agrees that it may be coverd elsewhere - fals more to the realm of wah tthe AT should do (haviong different modes such as edit mode for text input)

<Detlev> Patrick (talking about the single key shortcuts)

<Detlev> Patrick: Pointer operable might cover alternatives to kb shortcuts

Kim: as these are SHORTcuts rather than only way to do things, turning them off shouldn't be a problem

Patrick: my proposed "Pointer" SC should take care of shortcuts not being the ONLY way to trigger something

[Kim explains how single-key shortcuts on Google Docs create problems when speech AT is on and user inadvertedly speaks, not knowing that speech AT is on and will fire commands to Google Docs]

Alan: sentence needs clarification

Patrick: is this not a problem with Dragon/AT not having clear "listen/don't listen" mode?

Kim: no modes are not efficient

<Detlev> Patrick: Can a mechanism to turn off/on AT resolve authors from the obligation to build turning off singlwe key shortcuts into their content?

<Detlev> Kim: No

<Detlev> Patrick: Information on modes and speech use micing commands and text input should go into benefits section

[Kim further explains about use of speech input]

Patrick: this would be good in benefits and in long run "Understanding..."

David: more changes are editorial, should we go forward

<jeanne> +1

<marcjohlic> +1 on going fwd with it

Kim: so do we go forward?

<chriscm> +1

David: +1

<Henny> +1

<Alan_Smith> +1

<Kathy> +1

Patrick: cautious +1

<Jatin_> +1

but we need techniques

<Detlev> +1

<Kim> +1

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Proposed_Speech_Command_Mechanism

<Kim> https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Proposed_Speech_Command_Mechanism

Kim: moving to the third one, which is now the second one (since we removed first SC)

David: you want your shortnames being short not more than 3 or so words

<Detlev> Patrcik: Sites wanting to meet ths AAA SC would have to do a lot of work (settings section for defining commands etc) - the amount of work is quite large

<Detlev> Patrick: Multi character shortcuts are not easy to handle, you have to buffer input to look at the sequence - a lot harder than single key shortcuts

<Alan_Smith> +1 for AAA for this one

Kathy: we may also want to align with customisation/personalisation work happening

in COGA

Kim: want me to send message to Lisa to look at this?

Kathy: yes. it might roll into theirs, or have a separate AAA, but we need to by in sync

Kim: does explanation need beefing up as well?

Kathy: yes

Kim: I would prefer at AA rather than AAA, but i hear Patrick's concern and rather have this in

hopefully in future this will be more pervasive as an option, and may well be built into a higher level (UA, AT)

So I think i have my things to do for these

RESOLUTION: remove first SC, beef up second and third SC

<Kathy> https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/WCAG_2.1_Success_Criteria_Submission_Requirements

Kim: do you mean beef up 2nd/3rd SC and then we discuss it further?

David: no these are more editorial, TF is happy in principle

RESOLUTION: remove first SC, make further editorial changes to 2nd/3rd SC, send 3rd to COGA for sync

<David_> I think we need to docment that we have accepted 2, 3 to be submitted to the WG.

https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/WCAG_2.1_Success_Criteria_Submission_Requirements

<Detlev> Patrick: M1 (Pointer) and M3 (Pointer gestures) should be ready for discussion next week

<Detlev> https://github.com/detlevhfischer/Mobile-A11y-Extension/blob/patch-1/SCs/m1.md

<Detlev> https://github.com/detlevhfischer/Mobile-A11y-Extension/blob/patch-1/SCs/m3.md

<Detlev> damm wrong URL

Patrick: also happy to put things into github for others

Kathy: those marked with "x" (Reviewed by taskforce) can be put into the SC folder too

Patrick: I'll get those in

Summary of Action Items

Summary of Resolutions
