1193.43(c) Access to moving text

Explanation

Provide moving text in at least one static presentation mode at the option of the user.

Strategies

1. Moving text can be an access problem because individuals with low vision, or other disabilities may find it difficult or impossible to track moving text with their eyes.

2. Strategies to address this requirement may include the following:

1. Provide a mechanism for freezing the text. Thus, persons could read the stationary text and obtain the same information.
2. Provide scrolling to display one full line at a time, with a pause before the next line replaces it.
3. Provide the same information in another type of display which does not move. The right-to-left scrolling text on a TTY does not usually present a problem because it can be controlled by asking the sender to type slower or pause at specified intervals.

Features that Address this Guideline
