Where the non-web document format provides such a mechanism, the non-web 14:05:51 document should work with these features to the extent the format provides. Doing so would still address the user needs identified in Intent from Understanding Success Criterion 3.1.6. 14:05:51 Applying SC 3.1.6 Pronunciation to non-web software 14:05:52 PhilDay: Updated with additional note to problematic for closed 14:05:53 This success criterion applies as written as described in Intent from Understanding Success Criterion 3.1.6. 14:05:53 NOTE (FOR NON-WEB SOFTWARE) 14:05:53 Help is a mechanism for software that can provide definitions of words or phrases.

However, if the ICT with closed functionality has a help 14:05:55 function, this can be used as a mechanism for software that can provide definitions of words or phrases. This would address the user needs identified in Intent from Understanding Success Criterion 3.1.6. 14:07:08 POLL: Should we include a note for SC problematic for closed as in proposal, or remove this note from 3.1.4 and 3.1.6 entirely? Answer Yes to keep the note, No to remove. 14:07:25 q+ 14:07:29 ack bbailey 14:08:30 bbailey: Seems we can get away without the note 14:09:08 PhilDay: 3.1.3 doesn't have it, 3.1.4 does 14:09:49 Daniel: We should adjust to what we did in the previous one 14:09:52 Daniel: not feel strongly - just keep consistent 14:10:23 loicmn: As long as the closed functionality has a help system and the help system covers it, the SC is met 14:10:29 PhilDay: Some don't have help systems 14:10:43 loicmn: But that's not because they're closed, thats more a usability problem 14:11:05 ... Other software with open functionality may also have problems to meet this, not specific to closed 14:11:07 Loic - don't think we need a special note for closed 14:11:16 bbailey: Makes sense. Should we say anything at all? 14:11:25 PhilDay: We could try to remove the note 14:11:35 Applying SC 3.1.6 Pronunciation to non-web documents 14:11:35 This success criterion is problematic to apply directly to non-web documents because not all document formats provide support for a mechanism to identify the specific pronunciation of words where meaning of the words, in context, is ambiguous without knowing the pronunciation. Where the non-web document format provides such a mechanism, the non-web 14:11:35 document should work with these features to the extent the format provides.
