Notes:
Criteria | Conformance Level | Remarks and Explanations |
11.2.1 Software success criteria (excluding closed functionality) | See WCAG 2.0 section | See information in WCAG section |
11.2.2 Software success criteria (closed functionality) | See WCAG 2.0 section | See information in WCAG section |
11.3 Interoperability with assistive technology | Heading cell – no response required | Heading cell – no response required |
11.3.1 Closed functionality (informative) | Heading cell – no response required | Heading cell – no response required |
11.3.2 Accessibility services | Heading cell – no response required | Heading cell – no response required |
11.3.2.1 Platform accessibility service support for software that provides a user interface | See 11.3.2.5 through 11.3.2.17 | See information in 11.3.2.5 through 11.3.2.17 |
11.3.2.2 Platform accessibility service support for assistive technologies | See 11.3.2.5 through 11.3.2.17 | See information in 11.3.2.5 through 11.3.2.17 |
11.3.2.3 Use of accessibility services | Partially Supports | MathType 7 toolbars and editing area are not exposed to assistive technologies. |
11.3.2.4 Assistive technology | Not applicable | MathType 7 is not assistive technology. |
11.3.2.5 Object information | Partially Supports | MathType 7 toolbars and editing area are not exposed to assistive technologies. |
11.3.2.6 Row, column, and headers | Supports | MathType 7 does not have objects in tables. Tables in MathTypeMathTpe Desktop are just a result of MathType’s editing feature. |
11.3.2.7 Values | Supports | Any value and range of values is displayed in command dialog boxes, which are compatible to assistive technologies. |
11.3.2.8 Label relationships | Supports | Any object in command dialogs has labels that identify it and its purpose |
11.3.2.9 Parent-child relationships | Supports | MathType 7 allows user to understand how to navigate through and interact with the user interface controls and its child components. For example, in command dialogs containing folder views, assistive technologies announce the number of items under every folder, so users can then use the arrow keys to move through the items under the parent folder and discover the folder’s content. |
11.3.2.10 Text | Partially supports | MathType 7 menus and commands are compatible with screen readers. However, MathType 7 editing area is not compatible with screen readers. |
11.3.2.11 List of available actions | Does not support | The list of executable actions offered by drop down list or similar user object components aren’t exposed to assistive technology. However, users can operate them with common keyboard actions or context menu. For example, a drop-down list is opened when the user presses Down Arrow. |
11.3.2.12 Execution of available actions | Supports | MathType 7 is fully operable through keyboard. |
11.3.2.13 Tracking of focus and selection attributes | Does not support | MathType 7 toolbars and editing area are not exposed to assistive technologies. |
11.3.2.14 Modification of focus and selection attributes | Does not support | MathType 7 toolbars and editing area are not exposed to assistive technologies. |
11.3.2.15 Change notification | Supports | All events in MathType 7 are triggered by the user. No need to notify them. |
11.3.2.16 Modifications of states and properties | Partially supports | MathType 7 menus and commands are compatible with screen readers. However, MathType 7 editing area is not compatible with screen readers. |
11.3.2.17 Modifications of values and text | Partially supports | MathType 7 menus and commands are compatible with screen readers. However, MathType 7 editing area is not compatible with screen readers. |
11.4 Documented accessibility usage | Heading cell – no response required | Heading cell – no response required |
11.4.1 User control of accessibility features | Not applicable | MathType 7 is not platform software. |
11.4.2 No disruption of accessibility features | Partially supports | MathType 7 doesn't disrupt OS accessibility features, including the keyboard commands to control these options. However, some shortcuts used to enable/disable accessibility features containing special Windows key may be disrupted if MathType 7 is in first plane. |
11.5 User preferences | Supports | MathType menus and toolbars inherit OS accessibility custom features related to screen size, and color. Additionally, different sizes for toolbars can be chosen. MathType 7 editing area has its own workspace configuration command, which allows the user customize background color, and several zoom levels for toolbars and editing area. |
11.6 Authoring tools | Heading cell – no response required | Heading cell – no response required |
11.6.1 Content technology | Heading cell – no response required | Heading cell – no response required |
11.6.2 Accessible content creation (if not authoring tool, enter “not applicable”) | SeeWCAG 2.0 section | See information in WCAG section |
11.6.3 Preservation of accessibility information in transformations | Partially supports | Images: Equation images do not contain accessible information. The author creating other contents is responsible for adding this info to the images when including them in a document. Web pages: Equation images in web pages do not contain accessible information. However, MathPlayer (free plugin) provides accessibility for blindness, low vision, or learning disabilities. |
11.6.4 Repair assistance | Supports | MathType 7 doesn’t have any accessibility checking functionality. |
11.6.5 Templates | Supports | MathType 7 does not provide templatesallowing content creation. |
