|---|---|---|---|---|
| mathml-010 | Navigating block MathML with assistive technology and other technologies | The test checks if block MathML works with assistive technology and related technologies. | Fail | The text within the math expression is read but information such as superscripts, fractions, are not announced. |
| mathml-020 | Navigating inline MathML with assistive technology and other technologies | The test checks if inline MathML works with assistive technology and related technologies. | Fail | The text within the math expression is read but information such as superscripts, fractions, are not announced. |
| math-image-030 | Navigating Block Math images followed by Summary/Details with MathML | The test checks if block MathML works with assistive technology and related technologies in a HTML Summary/Details as an option to get at the native MathML. | Fail | The alt text of the image is read, and the details element is correctly collapsed. However, the math inside the details is not announced correctly. |
| math-image-040 | Navigating Inline Math images followed by commented out MathML | This test shows an inline math expression as an image with only alt-text describing the math equation. This is not ideal but if a publisher can not use raw mathML directly this is an option for reprocessing in the future. | Pass | The visual math image is displayed, and the alt text description is read correctly. The commented out MathML is not visible. |

Summary
Android 13 Colibrio version 1.5.2 build 1398 Talkback
| Test ID | Name | Description | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| reading-010 | Initiate "read from here" | Focus on the beginning of a paragraph or a sentence and initiate reading. Reading should continue until interrupted by the user or at the end of the current document, e.g. current chapter. The text being read should preferably remain in view, but this is not a requirement to pass the test. | Fail | Talkback continuous reading is restricted to the current screen. Even in scroll mode, the Talkback focus does not precisely move to next block of text and reading stops. |
| reading-110 | Stop and resume reading at the same reading location | Initiate reading from any point in the book. Stop reading and note the last read position. Initiate reading again and check if reading starts at the last read location. | Pass | Pause and resume works as expected. |
| reading-210 | All text should be read in the proper order | Sample text has been provided to test the reading order. The Paragraph 2 should be read after Paragraph 1. Note that visually Paragraph 2 is placed to the left of Paragraph 1 but it is second in the reading order. | Pass | The text was read in the correct order. |
| reading-310 | Image alternate text reading | Ensure that the alternate text for the image is available. | Pass | The alt text was announced as expected and could be navigated by word, character, etc. |
| reading-420 | Footnote Reading | This tests the usability and functionality of footnotes. The markup includes the semantics that the reference is to a note,which could be announced to the reader. The destination could be a footnote or an endnote and announced to the reader. The link back to the original position has the semantics that it is a backlink and could also be announced to the reader. | Fail | The back link does not bring focus to the footnote reference link |
| reading-510 | TTS allows pause for indicating headings, paragraphs, list items, etc | The user should be able to identify the difference between content items such as headings, paragraphs or list items by sufficient pauses in the TTS reading or appropriate formatting in the Braille device. | Pass | The text was read with appropriate pauses and phrasing. Headings and lists are announced. |
| reading-610 | Navigate between the cells, rows and columns in the table | Check if you can navigate between the rows and columns of the table | Pass | It was possible to navigate around the table. The cells in the table were announced as expected, with the column heading or row number announced as appropriate. |
| reading-710 | Navigate between internal hyperlinks | Check if you can navigate between internal hyperlinks. | Pass | The link target text is mostly placed at the top of the screen and hence this test is being marked as pass. |
| reading-810 | Move to the next block item | Check if you can move to the next available page element e.g. paragraph, image or table by using a common key/gesture like swipe right, down arrow etc. | Pass | It is possible to move to the next heading, line, word, character, link as provided for by TalkBack. |
| reading-910 | Navigate by characters | Check if it is possible to navigate to next and previous character in the book text by way of any command or gesture. | Pass | It is possible to move to the next heading, line, word, character, link as provided for by TalkBack. |

| reading-1110 | Navigate by lines | Check if it is possible to navigate to next and previous line in the book text by way of any command or gesture. | Pass | It is possible to move to the next heading, line, word, character, link as provided for by TalkBack. |
| reading-1210 | Navigate the content by headings | Check if you can move to the next and previous headings in this book without using the Table of Contents. | Fail | Heading navigation with Talkback is restricted to current screen and hence it is not of much use. Even when reading mode is changed to "scroll", the Talkback heading navigation is not working properly. |
| reading-1310 | Select and copy text | Reading systems should provide the ability to copy pieces of text that could be used for notes, in quotations, or to facilitate searching terms contained in the book. In some cases, this could be achieved using an AT such as a screen reader, for instance with a dedicated cursor or other procedures. | Fail | With Talkback, it is very hard to precisely select something for copying. "Copy last utterance" can be used but it does not satisfy the test condition |
| reading-1410 | MathML Reading | The block and inline math expressions below are in the MathML format. We want to determine that the Assistive Technology (AT) identifies the math and enables the detailed exploration of the math with the chosen AT. | Fail | The screen reader is not reading the fraction bar and subscript of X and Y correctly; it says them as "X2" and "Y2" without explaining that X and Y has a subscript 2. |
| reading-1510 | TTS Change Languages Automatically | Screen readers and other Assistive Technology that use TTS should be able to detect language changes marked in XHTML content. A screen reader should be able to be configured to automatically change the TTS speaking language when it encounters a language change in the XHTML.
