The user needs to be able to tell that the element is checked

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: MUST
  • Voice Control: NA

Examples:

  • The "true" value might be conveyed as "checked" or something similar.

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the checkbox role: convey its name

This expectation is from the checkbox role feature.

Rationale:

The user needs to know the purpose of the checkbox.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: MUST
  • Voice Control: MUST

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Notes:

For form inputs - commands to read line by line (down and up arrows in most windows screen readers) will not always result in the name being explicitly conveyed when the virtual focus is moved to an input where the label is visually displayed and programmatically associated with the input. This is acceptable because the name is implied by the fact that it should be naturally found in the reading order. Some screen readers choose to not convey the name in these cases, likely in an effort to reduce verbosity.

Expectation for the checkbox role: convey its role

This expectation is from the checkbox role feature.

Rationale:

The user needs to know that the element has checkbox behavior.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: MUST
  • Voice Control: MUST

Examples:

  • A screen reader might announce an element as something like "<name>, <role>"
  • A screen reader might imply the role by the presence of certain context roles
  • Voice Control software might let the user say something like "click, <role>".
  • Voice Control software might let the user say something like "show numbers", and interactive roles will be flagged with numbers.

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the group role: convey its role

This expectation is from the group role feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to be aware that elements are within a group

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: MUST
  • Voice Control: NA

Examples:

  • The role name is announced when entering the group.
  • If focus is outside of the group, then the accessible name of the group is announced when focus jumps to a control within the group.

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.

Expectation for the group role: convey the boundaries of the group

This expectation is from the group role feature.

Rationale:

A screen reader user needs to be aware when they enter and exit a group

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

  • Screen Readers: SHOULD
  • Voice Control: NA

Examples:

  • In reading mode, there might be a stop for both the start end end of the group. When entering the group, something like "group name, group" might be announced. When leaving the group, something like "end of group" might be announced.
  • In reading mode, there might not be a stop for the start and end of the group. In this case, the screen reader might announce the group name when the user navigates to the first child and announce that the user is leaving the group when the user navigates out of the group.
  • In interaction mode, there will not be a stop for the start and end of the group. In this case, the screen reader might announce the group name when the user jumps to an interactive child and announce that the user is leaving the group when the user jumps out of the group.

Grading method:

All of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.
