A11y View: Center and Variability
About the A11y View Tool
The A11y View is a design and presentation tool that visually displays a copy of the descriptions we design for the Interactive Description feature. The State Descriptions (blue box) track the current state of the simulation. The Responsive Descriptions (orange box) deliver relevant changes in real time as they happen. Using this tool, designers can test and assess the descriptions during the design process without using a screen reader. Educators can also use this tool to see if the content of the descritpions meets their teaching and learning needs.
Please note: The A11y View is not for learners. In learning contexts, screen reader users access the Interactive Desctiption feature using the same simulation as everyone else.
