Description

Users can upload their presentations to SlideShare in a range of regular formats. The slides are converted to images, and shown in a way similar to many online image slideshows. Slides can be shown full-screen, and the player features regular forward/back controls. There are community groups and widgets including the ability to add slideshows to blogs and have tags.

Accessibility Testing Results

It is very easy to upload slides and the forms are keyboard accessible but the player is only usable with a keyboard in certain browsers such as Internet Explorer. The readability of the slides depends on the user but the site has good contrast levels and text can be zoomed.

#	Test	Score	Summary
1	Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible		There are missing labels for forms within this product - this may create problems with some screenreaders.
2	Image ALT Attributes		This product is Flash-based which makes it harder to add alt tags for images. A concise description of the Flash object could be placed in the "description" field, so it can be read by a screen reader.
3	Link Target Definitions		All links, including images which would otherwise be ambiguous, have titles to uniquely identify them.
4	Frame Titles and Layout		No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design.
5	Removal of Stylesheet		The product does not fully maintain logical continuity when the style sheet is removed.
6	Audio/Video Features		A text description is often offered, while captioning via a transcript is optional.
7	Video/animations - audio descriptions		Text description only is possible.
8	Appropriate use of Tables		A table is used, but without correct headings. This may cause interpretation problems for some screenreaders.
9	Tab Orderings Correct and Logical		Tab order is mainly correct and logical, although some items are not.
10	Page Functionality with Keyboard		The product is built around a Flash component, which is not accessible to keyboard users.
11	Accessibility of Text Editors		Text editor is not accessible with the screenreader or keyboard.
12	Appropriate Feedback with Forms		The site does not always offer clear feedback and closure.
13	Contrast and Colour Check		No contrast issues.
14	Page Integrity when Zooming		The website maintains the layout and usability of all critical areas perfectly when zoomed.
15	Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability		Particularly small text prevalent throughout the site, which may be difficult to view without zooming the page.
