disabilities, as Braille for individuals who are blind, as
graphical text for individuals who are deaf or do not have
a disability). Equivalent alternatives also include "media
alternatives", which present essential audio information
visually (captions) and essential video information
auditorily (audio descriptions).
Repairing, Accessibility
[ATAG] Accessibility repairing is the process by which
Web content accessibility problems that have been
identified within Web content are resolved. ATAG 2.0
identifies three categories of repair: Automated (i.e. the
authoring tool is able to make repairs automatically, with
no author input required), Semi-Automated (i.e. the
authoring tool can provide some automated assistance
to the author in performing corrections, but the author's
input is still required before the repair can be complete)
and Manual (i.e. the authoring tool provides the author
with instructions for making the necessary correction, but
does not automate the task in any substantial way).
Techniques
[ATAG] Techniques are informative suggestions and
examples for ways in which the success criteria of a
checkpoint might be satisfied.
