sitecues made it easy for us to integrate accessibility tools right into our webpage .
does sitecues make websites compliant (wcag, section 508, etc .) ?
we are currently working on a mobile version of sitecues, with a target release on q3 2017. all sitecues customers will receive the mobile version at that time .
sitecues vice president of engineering thom kenney says
from the website owner' s perspective, sitecues offers simple, fast integration, with no heavy lifting needed to install. activating sitecues is done with exactly one line of javascript per web page .
the sitecues javascript library is delivered by amazon web services cdn, cloudfront. using an advanced cdn allows sitecues to deliver our javascript libraries as quickly as possible over the last mile .
stay tuned. the sitecues team is committed to bringing a full solution to keyboard users .
in the unlikely event of downtime, all sitecues functionality is gracefully degraded without interrupting normal website delivery to visitors .
like any at, sitecues will do its best to adapt to real - world markup, which isn' t always perfect. that said, current and future features work better or more consistently with well - structured, wcag - compliant markup. overall, the more compliant your markup, the more intelligence sitecues can apply and the better sitecues features will work. sitecues does not require 100% accessible markup to start working, but we encourage it .
the primary use case for sitecues is to help web users who do not already use an assistive technology, such as a screen reader. as such, sitecues does not effectively replace or extend the functionality of screen readers. we have included aria within sitecues to inform screen reader users of stiecues’ existence and function within a web page. because of our organization’s commitment to accessibility and inclusion, we ensure that sitecues is fully section 508 compliant and keyboard accessible .
when any web user visits a site that has sitecues, a minimal javascript library is loaded as part of the page load. when a website visitor interacts with the sitecues badge, more javascript is loaded. this progressive loading of our javascript library serves to minimize the impact on non - users while allowing sitecues users to benefit from a rich set of features. we have taken other steps to create a favorable experience for both sitecues users and non - users :
the sitecues javascript library is optimized, minimized, and compressed to be as small as possible – currently 20 kb .
installing sitecues on your site can be done as follows: the sitecues team first will qa your website to make sure that sitecues works well with your varied content. we conduct both manual and automated tests on your entire site. we will provide you with sitecues browser extensions (or other tools) so that you can perform your own manual, low - volume testing. the sitecues javascript code then can be embedded into test suite pages to test the functionality for internal and / or limited external testing. we work together to set up an a / b test with sitecues to measure external usage and benefit. alternatively, we can develop an integration plan that meets the specific requirements of your organization .
receive a full - featured simulation of sitecues on any website. re - use and share this custom demo with others .
many organizations have requirements to make their web content compliant with checklists such as wcag and section 508. to be clear, sitecues does not make websites compliant and does not replace compliance efforts. that said, sitecues augments existing compliance and ongoing compliance efforts as follows :
sitecues will be unveiled for commercial availability and demonstrated at the atia conference in orlando florida from january 29 th to 31 st, 2014 .
databases are often a limiting factor when considering scalability. sitecues understands not only the importance of scaling data, but scaling in a way that provides fast and accurate access to the data. sitecues' infrastructure uses a combination of sql and nosql for the smallest possible impact on page - load budgets .
yes – website owners have the option to deploy sitecues to a single web page, to a sub - section of their website, or to their entire website. sitecues can be added page - by - page, or else added to a page template to simplify deployment across a number of pages .
sitecues everywhere is an accommodation for individuals, for shared computers and for kiosks. sitecues everywhere allows organizations to make web browsing and online activities more accessible for all of their employees, persons and students. plus, it is easy to implement and support — on just one computer or across an entire organization .
as a web page loads, the sitecues javascript library loads last - - after all other text, css, and scripts on a page have loaded .
based on extensive testing and the experience of our customers, typical website visitors do not experience any additional latency from the addition of sitecues to a website .
we chose to add sitecues to our website because it significantly increases the ease with which visually impaired people can use the information to get the help they need .
sitecues will automatically store a user' s preferences on a website – applying the user’s previous zoom, speech, and color preferences the next time they visit the site. sitecues does not use cookies. instead, we employ local storage, a technology that better protects individual privacy while offering the convenience of user settings .
load - on servers in the cloud can be difficult to manage; but for sitecues, using aws gives us the ability to scale quickly. for new partners coming on board or for current partners looking to expand their influence with at, across more and more sites, sitecues can provide rapid implementations to meet needs .
sitecues® is software - as - a - service (saas) technology for website owners. websites with sitecues are easier for people with diverse abilities to read, hear, and use. website visitors can customize their experience – by applying page magnification, speech, reading enhancements, and personal settings — without impacting other visitors .
not yet. full keyboard support for sitecues is under development. unfortunately, web browsers do not currently provide a straightforward means for selecting content with the keyboard alone .

our metrics will focus on a number of key performance indicators (kpi) to help our partners determine how our assistive technology is helping their visitors and the impact sitecues is having on their business .
no maintenance is required on the part of the website owner. this is because the sitecues library will be delivered through a cdn to ensure the most stable versions are available to all website visitors .
sitecues is only offered as a software - as - a - service, so we do not have a self - hosted option. for large organizations, please let us know if this is a requirement .
in announcing sitecues, company ceo david wu commented ,
from a user' s point of view, sitecues is an intuitive means of displaying and reading information, that allows users to better concentrate on parts of web pages that interest them. the user experience is optimized so that website owners can reach and retain not only those with visual challenges but also the aging population and those with language and learning challenges .

the following describes how to set up your windows display settings and configure magic for multiple monitor operation .
note: if using an hdtv as a computer monitor, use the vga or hdmi connector on the tv. both 720p and 1080p are supported .
before using the multi - monitor feature in magic, you must connect a second monitor to your computer, and configure windows for multiple monitor operation. these procedures will vary based on your operating system .
note: each monitor can use a different screen resolution. this provides greater flexibility between laptop and desktop monitors .
press windows key + m to minimize all open applications, and move focus to the windows desktop .
note: focus must be on the windows desktop. if you see or hear that an icon on the desktop is selected, press ctrl + spacebar to unselect it .
make sure that the primary display is positioned as the leftmost or topmost display. in this example, the primary is labeled as 1. the other display, which is known as the extended display, is labeled as 2. leftmost example
note: setting the display icons side - by - side (borders evenly touching) horizontally or top - to - bottom vertically provides a smooth transition when moving the mouse cursor from one monitor to the other. if necessary, select the identify button or the identify monitors button to discover which one is the primary display .
the orientation is the same as the primary display (windows 7 only) .
the color quality (depth) is the same as the primary display. the recommended color setting is 32 - bit color, which is the default setting for windows 7. to locate the windows 7 color settings, select advanced settings, monitor tab, and then the colors combo box for color settings .
for windows 7, the multiple displays combo box is set to
extend these displays .
for windows vista, the extend the desktop onto this monitor check box is selected .
magic is preconfigured to recognize and utilize dual monitors when they are recognized and available through the operating system. however, if this feature was previously disabled on your system and you now want to enable it, do the following :
note: when magic starts with multi - monitor mode enabled, it automatically detects if the system is currently set up with dual or single monitors and utilizes the monitors that are available on the system. if only one monitor is available during this launch, magic automatically reverts to single - monitor mode without requiring a computer reboot. this is useful when travelling with a laptop computer. when you restart magic after returning to your home or office where a second monitor is available, it will use both monitors .
from the magnification menu, choose multi - monitor settings. the enable multi - monitor support check box is selected by default .
in the magnified mode combo box, select independent, which is the default setting, or overview .
for independent mode, both monitors are magnified, and each can operate independently. for example, you can have a spreadsheet open on one monitor while editing a document on the other monitor. to move the mouse pointer between monitors, press magic key + shift + d, the jump to display keystroke. when switching between monitors, the cursor will return to its previous location in the open document. you can also drag the mouse pointer left, right, up, or down (depending on the monitor configuration) to jump to the other monitor. in independent mode, the windows 7 shortcuts windows key + shift + right arrow and windows key + shift + left arrow allow you to move the current application window between monitors while maintaining mouse pointer and cursor location .
for overview mode, the same screen and desktop appears on both monitors; however, one monitor is magnified and the other is not. press magic key + shift + d to switch the magnified and unmagnified views between monitors. note that if you switch from independent mode, where both monitors are magnified, to overview mode, all desktop and taskbar icons are consolidated to the primary monitor .
if magnified mode is set to independent, go to step 4. if magnified mode is set to overview, go to step 5 .
to prevent the mouse pointer from accidentally moving to the other monitor, do the following. note that these settings are not available for overview mode .
select the switch after waiting check box and then specify in seconds how long the mouse pointer must stay at the edge of the screen before it moves to the next screen .
select the switch on double tap within check box and then specify in seconds the time required to perform the double tap before the pointer moves to the other monitor. if the double tap occurs outside of this period, the pointer does not move to the other monitor. (if you are using a touchpad, the double tap is a right - left - right or left - right - left sliding motion. use an up - down - up or down - up - down sliding motion for vertically arranged monitors. )
use the sound when reaching monitor edge combo box to select a wav file to play that indicates that the mouse pointer is at the edge of the screen .
use the sound when switching monitors combo box to select a wav file to play that indicates when the mouse pointer has moved to the other monitor .
in the unmagnified display combo box, select the monitor that will not be magnified. this combo box is not available for independent mode .
select ok to save changes, and close the multi - monitor settings dialog box .
to save multi - monitor mode so that it is on when you restart magic in the future, choose save default settings from the file menu .
use the view lock feature to freely move the mouse pointer across screens without moving any objects on the desktop. press and hold magic key + shift while moving the mouse pointer across the screen. this provides a smooth transition from one monitor to the other without shifting the view on the screen. normal mouse pointer movement resumes when you release magic key + shift. this feature is useful when you are moving back and forth between two monitors and you want to keep the screen views locked .
note: you can also use the view lock feature when using only one monitor with magic. by pressing magic key + shift, the current magnified view on the screen remains in place while you freely move the mouse around this area .
magic key + shift + d: use this magic keystroke to quickly switch focus from one monitor to the other. this eliminates the need to drag the mouse between monitors .
windows key + shift + right arrow or windows key + shift + left arrow: use these windows 7 shortcuts to move the current application or window in focus to the monitor on the right or the left. this eliminates the need to click and drag an application window from one monitor to the other .
magic key + shift: press and hold while dragging the mouse to smoothly move the mouse pointer between screens without scrolling any screen content. this is the view lock feature. to resume normal operation, release magic key + shift .
problem: moving the mouse cursor between monitors is difficult since the application scrolls until the mouse reaches the edge. it would be better if i could just jump to the other screen without either monitor scrolling .
solution: press magic key + shift + d to quickly jump from one monitor to the other. this is easier and faster since you do not have to drag and lift the mouse (or your finger on a touchpad) several times to travel the same desktop area .
problem: double tapping my touchpad does not move the mouse pointer between monitors .
solution: to double tap with a touchpad, press and hold your finger on the touchpad, and then slide it to the right, left, and right to move from the left monitor to the right monitor. slide your finger left, right, and left to move from the right monitor to the left monitor. if your monitors are arranged vertically, use an up - down - up motion or down - up - down motion .
problem: a message displays asking to verify that the primary monitor is set as the leftmost and topmost display .
solution: open the display settings in windows and make sure that the primary display is positioned to the left or above or both of the extended display. refer to the procedures described earlier in the windows configuration section for more details. magic will not open until this is resolved .
problem: a message displays stating that the colour depth is not the same .
solution: open the display settings in windows and make sure that the colour depth on both displays is the same. the recommended setting is 32 - bit colour .
solution: in windows, you must configure your main (primary) display as the leftmost or topmost display. as for the physical placement of the monitors on your desk, you can position the monitors anywhere you like. for example, the monitor designated as extended can sit on the left side of your desk while the other monitor sits to the right of it. to verify which monitor is the primary, use the identify button or identify monitors button in your display setting for windows .
