- 14:28:29 [niklasegger]

- 14:28:43 [matatk]

- q+
- 14:31:02 [Neha]
- q+
- 14:31:10 [niklasegger]
- Fredrik: My only concern: It should not only address TTS / Screenreader, to specific.
- 14:31:36 [niklasegger]
- janina: I will do an editorial change so more general ATs are considered
- 14:31:47 [matatk]
- q?
- 14:31:49 [matatk]
- ack me
- 14:36:11 [niklasegger]
- matatk: The spec mentions the interaction between the audio that's coming out of the browser and the underlying platforms. So you can hear for example a personal assistant over the browser sounds. I think the spec should give clearer examples for this. Also, they need to include their privacy section
- 14:37:16 [niklasegger]
- janina: I'm happy to take these considerations into a redraft.
- 14:38:15 [matatk]
- ack Neha
- 14:39:15 [Gottfried]
- q+ to propose a "politeness" system for audio such as with aria role "alert".
- 14:40:15 [matatk]
- ack Gottfried
- 14:40:15 [Zakim]
- Gottfried, you wanted to propose a "politeness" system for audio such as with aria role "alert".
- 14:41:49 [matatk]
- q+ to mention ariaNotify API
- 14:42:22 [niklasegger]
- Neha: (Question about Fredrik's point, what exactly he meant, resulting in Janina explaining "earcons", so a short, distinctive sound that is used to symbolize a particular event or convey other information.)
- 14:42:49 [matatk]
- q?
- 14:42:51 [matatk]
- ack me
- 14:42:51 [Zakim]
- matatk, you wanted to mention ariaNotify API
- 14:43:01 [matatk]
- ariaNotify explainer: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/main/Accessibility/AriaNotify/explainer.md
- 14:45:09 [niklasegger]
- matatk: This discussion reminds me of ariaNotify. From the abstract "We propose an imperative notification API designed to replace the usage of ARIA live regions in scenarios where a visual "live region" isn't necessary."

- 14:49:31 [niklasegger]
- matatk: Popups may appear outside the viewport, so you have to write custom JS to fix that. Anchor position is a new CSS solution to tackle this problem
- 14:50:51 [niklasegger]
- matatk: Someone wants to contribute to this, so improving the accessibility section of this document. Should work together with Paul for this one
