Spec review requests
<matatk> Reviewing Janina's proposed comment on Audio Session API: w3c/
<Fredrik> q_
matatk: Are we fine with Janina's proposed comment? Any questions?
Fredrik: My only concern: It should not only address TTS / Screenreader, to specific.
janina: I will do an editorial change so more general ATs are considered
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
janina: I'm happy to take these considerations into a redraft.
<Zakim> Gottfried, you wanted to propose a "politeness" system for audio such as with aria role "alert".
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.)
<Zakim> matatk, you wanted to mention ariaNotify API
<matatk> ariaNotify explainer: https://
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."
