Official methodology to test criterion 1.8
Test 1 (1.8)
iOS and Android
- Identify the graphic elements conveying information in the screen (see glossary note on the particularities of rendering)
- Activate the screen reader, browse the content and identify whether the elements displayed as "graphic element" or "image" contain text conveying information.
- Check
- that there is a mechanism for replacing text graphic elements with text that can be modified according to the user's display preferences (size, colour, font, etc.);
- or that styles and effects cannot be reproduced using styled text.
- If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
