Purpose

What this test checks

Checks critical silent journey using VoiceOver with a physical refreshable braille display rather than a visual braille viewer.

What this result means: This procedure records how VoiceOver with a physical refreshable braille display: critical silent journey behaves on macos-voiceover-braille. It can expose evidence relevant to WCAG 2.1.1, 2.4.3 and 3.3.4 for the tested task and environment. Use the linked conformance procedures for WCAG 2.1.1, 2.4.3 and 3.3.4 to assess the complete requirements across the declared conformance scope.

Why it matters

Checks critical silent journey using VoiceOver with a physical refreshable braille display rather than a visual braille viewer. People most likely affected: blind and deafblind people who read or enter digital content using refreshable braille. Text, roles, states, cursor position or task feedback may be missing or ambiguous in braille. In the recorded macos-voiceover-braille environment, check braille translation, routing, cursor position, structure and live updates with the named display; speech-only cues or stale cells can conceal state and prevent precise editing.

When to use it

Apply VoiceOver with a physical refreshable braille display: critical silent journey when the frozen task executed with the named screen reader and a physical refreshable braille display. The selected focus is critical silent journey.

Confirm before starting

Mark it not applicable only when

Exceptions

This platform, journey, usability or quality procedure creates no additional normative exception. Apply exceptions only in the linked atomic or criterion-level conformance procedure and preserve that separate decision.

Prepare

What you need

  • The product area and test targets are agreed before testing starts.

Assumptions: one short journey with one display and translation table; contracted input, cursor routing and device-specific commands add time

Variation: Add a new per-target execution and evidence allowance for each additional target class or state that could produce a different result. Add setup time for each distinct environment.

Excluded: Client coordination, inaccessible-environment recovery, recruitment, legal review, remediation implementation and waiting time unless the procedure states otherwise.

Execute

Test steps

Follow each action in order. The expected result is always visible; open the guidance when you need setup, tool, evidence, decision or repeat details. Step-level recording is optional while work is in progress and required only to export a completed execution.

Step 1

Prepare the scope, target and environment

Purpose: For VoiceOver with a physical refreshable braille display: critical silent journey, prepare the named scenario: Prepare the scope, target and environment. Target: The selected content, braille output/input and complete task relevant to critical silent journey. The preparation must establish this result: The selected targets, states, test data, environment and any scope limitations are complete enough for another qualified tester to reproduce the setup.

Decide

How to decide

Passed

The complete journey is understandable and operable through braille alone, with consequential actions reviewable before submission.

Failed

An applicable critical silent journey target has a reproducible material barrier against one or more stated expectations; identify the exact expectation, state and evidence.

Not applicable
The frozen scope contains no content, input or task relevant to critical silent journey.
Cannot tell
The target is applicable, but conflicting evidence or unresolved responsibility prevents a defensible expectation decision after recorded comparison.
Not tested
An applicable target, required state, complete process or named real environment was not executed.
Aggregation and reporting boundaries

Aggregation: Preserve every target/environment outcome. Any failed target prevents an overall passed procedure result. cantTell and untested remain unresolved; inapplicable is valid only when the completed inventory contains no applicable target.

WCAG decision: This specialist, platform, document, usability or quality result does not set a WCAG success criterion to satisfied or not_satisfied automatically. Use linked atomic and criterion-level procedures for that separate decision.

Automation: A checker, accessibility-tree inspection, emulator or simulated assistive technology is diagnostic evidence only. Complete every required manual, real-platform, contextual and exception check.

Record

Record the result

Record the target, state and observed behaviour. Add evidence or technical details only when needed.

Choose the option that best matches what happened to this target.

Describe the actual behaviour and why it supports the selected result.

When more than one target is recorded, the overall procedure result is calculated from all target results.

Environment: Not set.
Add evidence or details

Choose only the group needed for this record. These fields remain optional for a working draft.

Evidence references

Enter one file name, issue ID or evidence reference per line. Files stay on your device.

Test environment

Save a named profile once to reuse the same product, platform and environment details on other procedures in this browser.

Engagement and tester identifiers

Assistive-technology execution confirmation

Use these statements only for work actually performed. Simulation or accessibility-tree inspection does not count as real assistive-technology coverage.

Formal completion and limitations

Identify the frozen list or sampling record used to select every target represented by this execution.

Choose a final result before marking the execution complete. Completed records require the full environment, step, evidence and method-specific information.

Data management

Export before clearing if the record must be retained. Apply the engagement retention schedule and delete browser data when it is no longer needed.

Saved drafts stay in this browser and are not uploaded. Do not enter credentials, secrets or unnecessary personal data.

Worked example and outcome calibration

A11Y-VBRL-003-WORKED-001: representative worked example

Context: Representative synthetic example for VoiceOver with a physical refreshable braille display: critical silent journey on a fictional, version-frozen product target; no client or participant execution occurred.

Inspected: The tester follows S2 (Record display make/model/firmware, connection, cell count, translation table, contracted/uncontracted mode, input mode, screen reader, OS and browser versions) using the target, required state, tool and repeat rule stated in this procedure.

Observed output: After the tester completes the VoiceOver with a physical refreshable braille display: critical silent journey scenario named Record display make/model/firmware, connection, cell count, translation table, contracted/uncontracted mode, input mode, screen reader, OS and browser versions, the recorded observation for the target is inconsistent with the required result: The physical braille environment is reproducible and no dead cells or configuration defects invalidate the run.

Evidence:

  • example-evidence-001: target and state record for The selected content, braille output/input and complete task relevant to critical silent journey.
  • example-evidence-002: contemporaneous observation from the named method — Display make/model/firmware, connection, cells, translation table, input/output mode and screen-reader environment.
  • example-evidence-003: comparison note linking the actual observation to the expected result and claim boundary

Tester reasoning: The recorded observation does not demonstrate the expected result: The physical braille environment is reproducible and no dead cells or configuration defects invalidate the run. The failed decision is limited to this synthetic target and state; unexecuted coverage is not inferred.

Decision: failed

Finding: A11Y-VBRL-003-example-finding-001 — VoiceOver with a physical refreshable braille display: critical silent journey: expected result is not demonstrated. The represented barrier may affect Blind and deafblind people who read or enter digital content using refreshable braille.

Remediation: Change the represented target or process so it demonstrates this result: The physical braille environment is reproducible and no dead cells or configuration defects invalidate the run. Then rerun the affected step and every dependent variation.

Reviewer feedback: The reviewer confirms applicability, environment, actual-versus-expected comparison, evidence references and bounded wording; unsupported product-wide or conformance language is removed.

Final client wording: Synthetic training finding: the sampled VoiceOver with a physical refreshable braille display: critical silent journey target does not meet the procedure expectation in the recorded state. User impact and broader scope require evidence from the buyer's real execution.

Retest: Synthetic retest example: after the represented change, repeat the failed step plus material error and recovery states. Close the finding only when new evidence demonstrates the expected result; otherwise retain the non-pass outcome.

Boundary: This is a representative, synthetic worked example for training and calibration. It is not evidence from a client product, participant or real assistive-technology execution.

Outcome calibration

Passed
In macos-voiceover-braille, the selected critical silent journey target completes the recorded action and meets this expectation: The complete journey is understandable and operable through braille alone, with consequential actions reviewable before submission.

The example is a calibration scenario, not an execution or approval.

Failed
An applicable critical silent journey target produces a reproducible barrier during the named action, with the exact state and affected user task recorded.

A failed target remains failed even if another environment or target passes.

Not applicable
The frozen scope contains no content, input or task relevant to critical silent journey.

Inapplicable requires a completed inventory showing that no target matches applicability; a missing environment is not inapplicable.

Cannot tell
The critical silent journey target is applicable, but conflicting product/platform evidence or missing authoritative information prevents a defensible responsibility or expectation decision.

Record the conflict, comparisons attempted and person or evidence needed to resolve it.

Not tested
The critical silent journey target is applicable, but a required state, complete process or real environment was not executed.

Untested remains incomplete and cannot be converted to passed or inapplicable.

Sampling, complete processes and platform limitations

Run each selected critical journey from start to finish, including its main error and recovery paths. Record which journeys and states were included.

If this check is part of a user journey, test the selected journey from start to finish, including relevant errors and recovery. Record any path that was not tested.

  • A visual braille viewer is not physical-display evidence. Results apply only to the recorded display, translation table and screen-reader configuration.
  • Check relevant browser, tool or assistive-technology release notes before assigning unexpected behaviour to the product.
  • If responsibility is unclear, record the reproducible behaviour and use cannot tell until it is resolved.
