WCAG2ICT question

Hi All,

I know that WCAG2ICT was developed to cover non web information and
communications technologies, more specifically for non web documents and
software.

Do you use it? When do you use it? Do you use it for document audits (ie:
word)?

This was developed a while ago and today not much is non web (2012 seems
like eons ago with tech). I have researched this and found that some people
use it for apps, mostly native, but some use it for all apps. These apps
are usually web dependent in some way. They say use it for non web
documents, but then the document examples include emails and spreadsheets,
which can be all web dependent in some way (or sent through the web). How
does that work today with WCAG2IC?

Software today isn't all web based, but much of it now is cloud, so I am
wondering the intricacies of that one as well.

I don't find many people talk about WCAG2ICT and wondered if it was used a
lot, and who uses it.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Lisa
