Description

This site allows users to add text bubbles, subtitles, clipart and multimedia to videos and share the result. It could be used creatively for captioning but does not have the degree of manipulation available in Overstream. You can load a video from any URL (e.g. YouTube, Blip.tv).

Accessibility Testing Results

Despite the lack of labels and the table layout the site was usable in Webbie but not of much practical use. The Flash editor and player is only usable with a keyboard in certain browsers such as Internet Explorer. There are timings for the captions but these are very small and do not zoom in the Flash editor. The rest of the site is relatively easy to read and zooms well.

# Test Score Summary
1Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible Poor There are no labels for forms within this product - this may create problems with some screenreaders but they are keyboard accessible.
2Image ALT Attributes Good Not all images on this site offer alternative text - this may cause screenreader users to have a differing understanding of the content.
3Link Target Definitions Excellent All links, including images which would otherwise be ambiguous, have titles to uniquely identify them.
4Frame Titles and Layout Excellent No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design.
5Removal of Stylesheet Excellent The page is still understandable and functional when it is viewed as a linear document, with no styles.
6Audio/Video Features Fair This site adds text bubbles to video content so not a text transcript.
7Video/animations - audio descriptions Fair It is not possible to add audio descriptions and the text is added as a bubble to the video.
8Appropriate use of Tables Poor Tables are used to construct this site - this may cause some screenreaders to read the content in the wrong order.
9Tab Orderings Correct and Logical Excellent Tab order is in a logical and consistent top-to-bottom or left-to-right format.
10Page Functionality with Keyboard Poor This site uses a Flash component, which is inaccessible without a pointing device.
11Accessibility of Text Editors Poor Text editor is not accessible with the screenreader or keyboard.
12Appropriate Feedback with Forms Good This site usually provides suitable feedback and closure.
13Contrast and Colour Check Good Contrast largely dependant upon what is shown in the video, but the designers have made good decisions otherwise.
14Page Integrity when Zooming Excellent The website maintains the layout and usability of all critical areas perfectly when zoomed.
15Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability Good The majority of text on the site is size ten, which is readable but may be uncomfortable for some.
