UDOITWhat do the issues listed in UDOIT indicate?

There are a variety of issues types that are listed in the UDOIT Home Page and UFIXIT windows. We want you to have an idea of how those issues relate to the CCC Accessibility Guidelines. Below you will see the relationship between UDOIT and our Accessibility Guidelines. While this is not an exhaustive list, this will help you better work through your repairs.

Headings and Structure

Captions and Transcripts - go into the video in YouTube itself to review or edit the captions for accuracy.

YouTube and third-party tools (e.g. publisher content/platforms, apps, etc.) cannot be read by UDOIT. You will need to make sure the content is accessible.

Headings and Structure

Color Contrast

Meaningful/Descriptive Links

Tables and Table Captions

Why aren't these names the same? Good question. The CCC Accessibility Guidelines are designed around the WCAG 2.1 Guidelines. UDOIT as an external tool addresses WCAG but expresses the accessibility issue with more specificity so help you resolve the issue while learning about accessibility principles and practices.

File Repair in UDOIT

UDOIT allows for some basic file repair in the Review Files area of UDOIT.

File repair in UDOIT has proven to be overwhelming for many. Be sure to read about accessible files in the Accessibility Guidelines. It is important to know that files made from word processing tools must use all the Accessibility Guidelines when created. For example, headings, alt text for images and diagrams, bulleted and numbered lists, color contrast, and any other feature used in the document must follow Accessibility Guidelines.

When UDOIT flags a file, it is because it is identifying a component of the file as inaccessible. Here are some examples of what you will see listed as an issue and how it relates to accessibility principles and practices.
