Audio characteristics

For systems that present auditory content, people may need to adjust specific characteristics of audio content, cues, and feedback.

Notes

This might include changes to characteristics such as frequency, speed, speech rate, voice, stop/start and type of content (such as sounds, speech, signals, alarms)

partial for 1.4.2. The other part (independent control of Assistive Technology) is under audio-control.

Screen reader users may need to change volume or turn off.
