TPAC 2022 - participant availability.

jasonjgw: Added an issue in GitHub to discuss recommendations

janina: Not ready to close document

janina: We still need approach Timed text for joint publication

janina: May need to add some pointers that are more on the mainstream side

For instance, the connection to translation subtitles is related but not exactly an accessibility issue

janina: XR environments may have considerations where mainstream access has common ground with accessibility issues

raja: In support of asking Timed text

<Joshue108> JS: How much has the document changed?

janina: May need a second wide review draft

<Joshue108> JS: Steve, how substantial are the changes?

<Joshue108> SN: We did address the 7-8 issues that were raised in Github

<Joshue108> Some addition research was referenced etc

<Joshue108> I'd say 10-15% has seen some change

<Joshue108> OTTOMH

<Joshue108> JS: Lets ask Timed text

<Joshue108> They may want to introduce things, and that would hit both ours and their wide review audience

<Joshue108> JS: We can defer our decision

<Joshue108> JS: <Likes the intro - this is a kerbcut>

<Joshue108> JS: I'd like to see this kerbcut in the abstract to include this..

<Joshue108> JW: Lets get those into issues

<Joshue108> SN: Makes sense to me

<Joshue108> SN: We do provide recommendations - but if useful to pull them into a summary - to underscore.

<Joshue108> JS: Could be useful.

<Joshue108> JOC: What about timeframe?

<Joshue108> JS: Could be end of March.

<Joshue108> JS: We do have CSUN in the middle.

Synchronization Accessibility User Requirements.

<jasonjgw> zkim, close item 2

Accessibility of Remote Meetings.

jasonjgw: Look at a few open issues

scott: Worked through the COGA input

scott: Issue around captioning

scott: Sometimes captioning is an additional media

scott: Suggest expanding the use case of captioning

janina: Both seeing caption text and hearing the words is commonly known to enhance comprehension in the mainstream population

raja: Have some citations for general population use of captions

raja: 40% of Netflix users use captions

raja: 20% for standard TV usage

raja: will email these references

scott: Point about screen readers - comment was to expand to more mainstream use of text-to-speech

janina: Not sure it this expands to remote meetings

<Joshue108> +1 to Janina

Joshue108: Agree that this seems a problem

janina: Listening to TTS while people in a meeting are speaking is clearly difficult

jasonjgw: Example of TTS reading a slide while someone is speaking

jasonjgw: Reading a set of slides before a meeting and using TTS in that settings is a very different scenario

Natural Language Interface Accessibility User Requirements.

jasonjgw: Some activities have occurred in GitHub issues

jasonjgw: Will need to push these items to next week

Inaccessibility of CAPTCHA.

jasonjgw: Open issues have been documented, and research around trust tokens continue...

jasonjgw: Further thoughts on CAPTCHA?
