(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. Supported Windows Mobile ® 6.5 Standard software provides hardware keyboard support. The exact implementation is dependent on OEM HW and SW design. For example, the keyboard can be supported to open and close all menus, including the Start menu, open applications, close applications, select and action on items. (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. Supported Windows Mobile ® 6.5 Standard does not disrupt or disable any accessibility feature provided by the underlying Operating System. The platform allows for the changing of font size in applications in order to help readability. The font size is not respected in certain areas of the system where a larger font would make the application unusable in its current form (e.g. Internet Explorer Mobile 6 and Windows Media Player). The system does not disrupt or disable assistive technology from responding to the increase in font size. Independent developers choose whether or not their applications respond to this change in font size. (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. Supported Windows Mobile ® 6.5 Standard software programmatically exposes the focus so that Assistive Technology Vendors can develop applications and interfaces that track focus and focus changes.
(c) At least one mode of operation and information retrieval that does not require user hearing shall be provided, or support for Assistive Technology used by people who are deaf or hard of hearing shall be provided Supported Windows Mobile ® 6.5 Standard provides certain information, such as notifications, alarms, and reminders, both in auditory and visual formats. Also, the capacity for an OEM to provide TTY support is available. (d) Where audio information is important for the use of a product, at least one mode of operation and information retrieval shall be provided in an enhanced auditory fashion, or support for assistive hearing devices shall be provided. Supported Windows Mobile ® 6.5 Standard supports user configurable volume levels to control playback, voice notes, in-call volume, voice mails, system sounds, and notifications. Also, the capacity for an OEM to provide HAC support is available. (e) At least one mode of operation and information retrieval that does not require user speech shall be provided, or support for Assistive Technology used by people with disabilities shall be provided. Supported Windows Mobile ® 6.5 Standard does not require user speech for operation. Also, the capacity for an OEM to provide TTY support is available. (f) At least one mode of operation and information retrieval that does not require fine motor control or simultaneous actions and that is operable with limited reach and strength shall be provided. Supported Users of Windows Mobile ® 6.5 Standard have the option of controlling major features with action buttons, application buttons, jog dials, and keyboard shortcuts. These optional control methods are dependent on the specific hardware device design. Not all options are available on all devices. Optional software, such as Microsoft Voice Command or other third party software is available to interact with the device without using hands or sight. Which functions are controllable via voice is dependent on the optional software chosen by the user.
