Limitations and alternatives

Known limitations for www.transference.tv:  

Homepage: Assistive technology will pick up on all Menu items Home/Schedule/Desktops/On Demand/Discover/About.  Assistive technology will pick up on all Rooms and the scrolling message.  Uploaded images & video may not have text alternatives, subtitles or audio descriptors. 

Schedule: Assistive technology will pick up on days and times in the schedule and artists names. 

Desktops: Assistive technology will pick up on all artists names and information about that art work.  It will also tell you if you can download files. Uploaded images may not have text alternatives, subtitles or audio descriptors. 

On Demand: Assistive technology will pick up on all artists names and information about that art work.  It will also tell you what type of artwork can be clicked on to be seen. Uploaded images  & videos may not have text alternatives, subtitles or audio descriptors. 

Discover: Assistive technology will tell you that you are looking at Google Maps.  It will read out the scrolling message.  Google maps has been re-coloured blue and purple to fit with transference.tv aesthetic.  There are icons on the map that can be clicked on to visit those locations in Google Street view.  There are then pins inside Google Street view that you can click on to reveal the artwork in that location.  Assistive technologies will read out the artists work and information about that work. Uploaded images & video may not have text alternatives, subtitles or audio descriptors.  Google Maps supports screen readers, keyboard navigation, and keyboard shortcuts.  Many users have found that they prefer the mobile version of Google Maps (particularly the App) because it tends to be more user friendly for folks using assistive technology, however, we have embedded Google Maps into our web page and there are some WCAG violations for Google Maps on web pages that Google audit fairly frequently.   

About: Assistive technology will pick up on all text on this page including the scrolling message.
