Features |
Remarks and
explanations |
|
(a) When software is designed to run on a system that has a keyboard, product functions shall be executable from a keyboard where the function itself or the result of performing a function can be discerned textually. |
Supports |
Supports: navigation of application menus from the keyboard, Microsoft Windows Accessibility features including Sticky Keys, Filter Keys, and Toggle Keys. |
|
(b) Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated features of other products that are identified as accessibility features, where those features are developed and documented according to industry standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or disable activated features of any operating system that are identified as accessibility features where the application programming interface for those accessibility features has been documented by the manufacturer of the operating system and is available to the product developer. |
Supports |
The Forensic Utility Suite does not interfere with Microsoft or Linux Accessibility features. It is recommended that all unnecessary applications be terminated when performing a data recovery on a media that is difficult for the program to read. This will not interfere with the use of accessibility features.. |
|
(c) A well-defined on-screen indication of the current focus shall be provided that moves among interactive interface elements as the input focus changes. The focus shall be programmatically exposed so that Assistive Technology can track focus and focus changes. |
Supports |
This product supports on-screen focus tracking. The focus is programmatically exposed so assistive technology can track focus and focus changes. |
|
(d) Sufficient information about a user interface element including the identity, operation and state of the element shall be available to Assistive Technology. When an image represents a program element, the information conveyed by the image must also be available in text. |
Supports |
Included operating systems have screen readers. Additional add-on assistive technologies are available for screen reading. MS Windows systems also provide for Icon images with associated text, as well as "Tool Tips' and "Pop-Up" windows with text. All controls in the Forensic Utility Suite are represented in text. |
|
(e) When bitmap images are used to identify controls, status indicators, or other programmatic elements, the meaning assigned to those images shall be consistent throughout an application's performance. |
Supports |
Within the operating system(s) and the Forensic Utility Suite, control identifiers, status indicators and program elements are consistent. |
|
(f) Textual information shall be provided through operating system functions for displaying text. The minimum information that shall be made available is text content, text input caret location, and text attributes. |
Supports |
The Operating System(s) provide this information and the Forensic Utility Suite Supports Windows and Linux font calls. |
|
(g) Applications shall not override user selected contrast and color selections and other individual display attributes. |
Supports |
Neither the operating system(s) nor the Forensic Utility Suite will override user selected contrast and color selections or other individual display attributes. |
|
(h) When animation is displayed, the information shall be displayable in at least one non-animated presentation mode at the option of the user. |
Supports |
The operating system(s) support this requirement by allowing the user to set animation to “None”. The Forensic Utility Suite does not use animation. |
|
(i) Color coding shall not be used as the only means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element. |
Supports |
Color coding is not the only means of conveying information in any of the included applications. |
|
(j) When a product permits a user to adjust color and contrast settings, a variety of color selections capable of producing a range of contrast levels shall be provided. |
Supports |
The operating system(s) provide a variety of color and contrast settings that can be initiated by individual users through the control panel options, for display settings. These carry through to the Forensic Utility Suite. |
|
(k) Software shall not use flashing or blinking text, objects, or other elements having a flash or blink frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz. |
Supports |
Neither the operating system(s) nor the Forensic Utility Suite use flashing or blinking text, objects or other elements with a flash or blink frequency of greater than 2Hz or lower that 55Hz. |
|
(l) When electronic forms are used, the form shall allow people using Assistive Technology to access the information, field elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of the form, including all directions and cues. |
Supports |
Form field elements and functionality including directions and cues are easily accessible through the users choice of assistive technology. |
