Notes:

No actions are needed to turn on or configure accessibility features or modes. Shortcut keys are documented in the appendix "Administration Tool Keyboard Shortcuts" in the "Metadata Repository Builder's Guide" provided in the product.

Evaluation Methods Used:

Oracle's policy is to design, develop and test both products and documentation to be accessible. The recommended styles of testing for accessibility include: (i) algorithmic automated tests, (ii) human judgement tests such as tool-assisted tests, visual inspection and manual operation, and (iii) testing with assistive technology by people with and without disabilities. Additional information about Oracle's accessibility program is available on http://www.oracle.com/corporate/accessibility/index.html
