Set up an available reader or label the fallback
See this course’s project requirements
A personal non-sensitive task card and scoped navigation test using text size, zoom, keyboard and an available screen reader, with a truthful fallback comparison when a reader is unavailable.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Create a task-based access choice with available/unavailable tools and no sensitive personal data.
- Retain baseline/adjusted settings and observed information/control access, with restoration recorded.
- Complete and document the keyboard task or its exact observed barrier.
- Record an actual native setup/tutorial or a clearly labeled documentation-based fallback.
- Produce a task outcome comparison that separates actual observations, expected structure, and unavailable checks.
- Deliver a non-sensitive repeatable access plan with actual results, alternate route, and exact verification limits.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- The implementation or declared simulation follows the supplied contract and retains inspectable original inputs.
- Normal, boundary and rejected cases are recorded with expected versus observed results.
- The changed case has a correct explanation and does not rely on hidden state.
- The project includes source, outputs, instructions and honest tool, privacy and verification limits.

The idea in everyday life
The original assistive-practice.html task is to find Morning 10:00, enter fictional nickname Nova with 2 seats, and confirm locally. Open the local HTML file in an available browser. assistive-task-card.txt supplies the record template; no account or private data is used.
A reader requires native setup and familiarity with its commands. Official documentation reading is useful preparation but does not establish that speech or navigation ran on the learner’s device.

1. Step 1
If a Mac reader is available, record macOS/browser and baseline reader state; use System Settings → Accessibility → VoiceOver to turn it on, or the documented Command-F5 method.
You should see: The actual native setup is recorded; shortcut behavior can depend on keyboard settings.
A reader requires native setup and familiarity with its commands. Official documentation reading is useful preparation but does not establish that speech or navigation ran on the learner’s device.
2. Step 2
Use the VoiceOver Tutorial from that settings pane, or its documented command with VoiceOver on. Learn the modifier: Control+Option or configured Caps Lock.
You should see: A native tutorial can teach commands before the task.
A reader requires native setup and familiarity with its commands. Official documentation reading is useful preparation but does not establish that speech or navigation ran on the learner’s device.
3. Step 3
If no reader is available, instead read the supplied W3C speech explanation and map this page’s headings, labels, and table to a documentation comparison.
You should see: The fallback is clearly marked nonexecuted reader comparison.
A reader requires native setup and familiarity with its commands. Official documentation reading is useful preparation but does not establish that speech or navigation ran on the learner’s device.
4. Step 4
Record the path taken and keep native observations separate from anticipated structure.
You should see: A reader-setup or honest fallback record.
A reader requires native setup and familiarity with its commands. Official documentation reading is useful preparation but does not establish that speech or navigation ran on the learner’s device.
What to finish
Record an actual native setup/tutorial or a clearly labeled documentation-based fallback.
Watch for this
Treating an official guide or expected semantic structure as an observed speech result.
How can I tell I understand it?
Demonstrate the rule: A reader requires native setup and familiarity with its commands. Official documentation reading is useful preparation but does not establish that speech or navigation ran on the learner’s device. Use the supplied variant to distinguish a changed result from a broken implementation.
