Hi,
I'm unsure right now if the text is flashing, but let's assume it is not flashing for this question. Every so often, possibly five seconds, some text on a page speaks through my screen reader. I'm unsure what success criterion to use when desiring to fail it.

Thanks.

Jim

How about "2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide
<https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/time-limits-pause.html>". Text
that updates every 5 seconds (or however long) falls under the
"Auto-updating" section.

"For any auto-updating information that (1) starts automatically and (2) is
presented in parallel with other content, there is a mechanism for the user
to pause, stop, or hide it or to control the frequency of the update unless
the auto-updating is part of an activity where it is essential."

Hi Glen,
I commonly faille carousels for this, so I wasn't thinking, for whatever reason that this text falls into that category, because it seems to be the same piece of text. Thanks for your help.

Jim
