2.5.6 Concurrent Input Mechanisms

(Level AAA)

Web content does not restrict use of input modalities available on a platform except where the restriction is essential, required to ensure the security of the content, or required to respect user settings.

Applying SC 2.5.6 Concurrent Input Mechanisms to Non-Web Documents and Software

This applies directly as written, and as described in Intent from Understanding Success Criterion 2.5.6, replacing “Web content” with “Content”.

With these substitutions, it would read:

[Content] does not restrict use of input modalities available on a platform except where the restriction is essential, required to ensure the security of the content, or required to respect user settings.

For WCAG2ICT consideration:

• Is the suggested word substitution sufficient?
• Are there any platform or content considerations on this for non-web technologies?
• Any examples that would meet the exception that could be noted?
• Any considerations for closed functionality?
