Notifications: 1otifications that appear in an interface are visually obvious but reTuire proactive discovery by screen reader users. A comparable experience for blind users, can be achieved by using a live region. The notification then reTuires no explicit action on the part of the user. Content for alternatives: +aving a basic alternative, whether it’s alt text, a transcript, audio description, or sign language, makes the content accessible but to be eTuivalent it needs to capture the essence of the original. Ensure your interface provides a comparable experience for all so people can accomplish tasks in a way that suits their needs without undermining the Tuality of the content. Provide comparable experience Whether out of circumstance, choice, or context people are diverse. As people use different approaches and tools to read and operate interfaces, what the interface offers each user should be comparable in value, Tuality, and efficiency.
