What role do assistive technologies play in UAAG 1.0?
UAAG 1.0 is designed for general purpose browsers and media players, and not for assistive technologies; so screen readers, screen magnifiers, and other assistive technologies are not expected to conform (though they may). The ability of conforming user agents to communicate well with assistive technologies will depend in part on the willingness of assistive technology developers to follow the same standards and conventions for interoperability. UAAG 1.0 is designed to ensure that a conforming browser or media player communicates — through publicly documented interfaces — with assistive technologies.
