Webアクセシビリティ オーバーレイとは何ですか?
オーバーレイは、Webサイトのアクセシビリティを向上させることを目的とした技術の総称です。サードパーティのソースコード(多くはJavaScript)を読み込み、フロントエンドコードを改善します。
アクセシビリティの向上を謳うWebサイトのアドオン製品は、1990年代後半に登場したReadspeakerやBrowsealoudに遡ります。これらは、インストールされたWebサイトにテキストの読み上げ機能を追加するものでした。
その後、そのようなソフトウェアに機能を追加した類似製品が、市場に出回るようになりました。それらは、読みやすさを向上させるために、ユーザーのニーズに基づき文字サイズや色などをコントロールするものです。
最近のオーバーレイ製品のなかには、支援技術からのアクセスのしやすさを妨げる問題を修正することを目的としているものがあります。この製品は、コードをスキャンし、自動的に問題の修復を試みるスクリプトをページに読み込みます。

オーバーレイ製品は、特定の市場に向けホワイトラベル化(別名で販売)されたり、リブランディングされたりすることがあるため、このページが取り上げる類の製品すべてを網羅しているわけではありません。
オーバーレイ「ウィジェット」の長所と短所
オーバーレイ ウィジェットは不必要であり、技術スタックにおける位置づけは低いです。
上述のとおり、オーバーレイ製品のなかには、表示中のページの見た目を変更するための一連のコントロールを提供する、ウィジェットを含むものがあります。製品によっては、色のコントラストを変更したり、本文の文字サイズを大きくしたり、障害者のユーザー体験を向上させることを目的としたその他の変更を加えることができます。
一般的なユーザーからすると、それらの機能は有益に思えるかもしれません。しかし、そういった機能を必要とするユーザーは、Webに限らずあらゆるソフトウェアを利用するうえで必要な組み込み機能ないし追加のソフトウェアとしてすでに自身のコンピューターで利用しており、オーバーレイ製品の実用的価値は大いに誇張されています。
従い、オーバーレイ ウィジェットの提供する機能がエンドユーザーに非常に役立つと考えるのは、間違いです。なぜなら、その機能がWebサイトを利用するために必要なものであるならば、ユーザーのアクセスするWebサイトすべてで必要だからです。ウィジェットはせいぜい、ユーザーがすでに利用している機能の予備にすぎません。
自動的な修正の長所と短所
自動的な修正はある程度は可能ですが、長期的な解決策としてオーバーレイを使用することは控えるべきです。
オーバーレイ製品のなかには、ページのアクセシビリティを修正することを目的とした機能を持つものがあります。その修正は、ユーザーがブラウザでページを読み込んだ際に適用されます。
アクセシビリティに関わるさまざまな問題を、そのような方法で修復できることは確かですが、その種別や範囲、精度は、いくつかの重要な要素によって制限されます:
- 画像の代替テキストの自動的な修正は信頼できません。
- フォームにおけるラベルやエラー管理、エラー処理、フォーカス制御の自動的な修正は信頼できません。
- キーボードアクセスの自動的な修正は信頼できません。
- ReactJSやAngular、Vueを使用しているような、モダンなコンポーネントベースのユーザーインターフェースは、オーバーレイとは無関係にページのすべてまたは一部の状態を変更する可能性があり、JavaScriptによってコンテンツに加えられた変更を修正することができません。
- 自動的な修正が、ページの読み込みを遅くしたり、支援技術ユーザーにとって予期せぬ変更を引き起こしたりする可能性があります。
上記に加えて、オーバーレイはFlashやJava、Silverlight、PDF、HTML5のCanvas、SVGまたはメディアファイルのコンテンツを修正しません。
アクセシビリティ標準への適合
オーバーレイを使用することで、主要なアクセシビリティ標準にある項目のごく一部への適合は改善されるかもしれませんが、すべての項目への適合をオーバーレイで達成することはできません。
オーバーレイ ベンダーによる多くの主張のなかには、自社製品を使用することでWCAG 2.xなどのアクセシビリティ標準やそれと関連ないし派生する標準、またそういった標準への適合を義務付ける法律にWebサイトが準拠するというものがあります。
標準への適合とは、その標準の「要求事項」を満たしていることを意味します。WCAG 2.0では、「要求事項」とは達成基準のことです。WCAG 2.0に適合するには、その達成基準を満たす必要があります。それはつまり、達成基準に違反するコンテンツが存在しない状態にするということです。 Understanding WCAG 2.1: Understanding Conformance
適合という言葉が、標準にあるすべての要求事項を満たすことと定義されているのを踏まえるなら、これらの製品が問題かもしれない点すべてを修正できるわけではないと記されている以上、Webサイトを適合させることはできないことを意味します。そのような謳い文句で販売されている製品は、かなり懐疑的に見るべきです。
個人データのプライバシー
あなたのサイトでオーバーレイを追加することは、プライバシーに対するエンドユーザーの嗜好に反する可能性があり、EU一般データ保護規則(GDPR)、英国一般データ保護規制(UK GDPR)、カリフォルニア州 消費者プライバシー法(CCPA)などに違反するリスクの生じる可能性があります。
オーバーレイは特定の設定、たとえばスクリーン・リーダーや音声認識を利用するユーザー向けの設定を、デバイス上で支援技術が実行されているのを検知した際に自動的に有効化します。これにより、そのデバイスを使用しているユーザーが障害者であることが明らかになります。スクリーン・リーダーのユーザーの多くが全盲または弱視であるように、特定のケースにおいては、障害の内容についての詳細までもが明らかになります。年齢や民族的背景、または好みの性別と同様に、障害はセンシティブな個人情報です。本人の同意なしに収集されるべきデータではありません。
オーバーレイのなかには、同じオーバーレイを使用しているサイト間でユーザーの設定を引き継ぐものがあることが知られています。これは、ユーザーのコンピューターにクッキーを設定することによって行われます。ユーザーが、あるサイトでオーバーレイのある機能を有効にすると、オーバーレイは自動的に他のサイトでもその機能を有効にします。オーバーレイ ベンダーは、エンドユーザーにとって良いことをしているつもりかもしれませんが、ユーザーが追跡されることをオプトインしておらず、またオプトアウトする機能もない点は、大きなプライバシー問題でしょう。(明示的にその設定を無効にする以外の)オプトアウトの欠如により、オーバーレイの顧客にはGDPRやCCPAに関連するリスクが生じます。
生の声
多くの障害を持つユーザーが、オーバーレイ製品に強い不満を表明しています。以下に示すように、オーバーレイ自体にもアクセシビリティ上の問題があるようで、ユーザーが積極的にオーバーレイを表示させないようにすることもあります。
ご注意:このセクションにおいて、特定のベンダーに言及する場合がありますが、オーバーレイ ウィジェットの提供するユーザー体験という意味では、それらのコメントは一般的なものであり、ユーザー体験に悪影響を与えるパターンを言い表したものです。
...そのツールが、アクセシブルにするための良い仕事ができると仮定したとして、ユーザーのデバイス上で直接動作し、デバイスのコードやAPIにアクセスしたほうが、より良い仕事ができます。 DerekRiemer
...WindowsのHostsファイルで #AccessiBe をブロックすることで、ようやく @NameCheap アカウントにアクセスできるようになりました。インターネットを使うのに、こんなことをする必要はないはずです。AccessiBeは、AccessiBeGoneであるべきです。 WilfSplodNokit
...この1年半のあいだにオーバーレイを導入したサイトが、全盲である私と妻の二人にとって使い勝手が悪くなったことは、100%間違いありません。 GeauxEnder
...いまだ数秒おきに邪魔が入るので、モバイル端末でその記事を読もうとすることさえ苦痛です。このサービスを利用しているすべてのサイトが、同じ問題を抱えているとすると...ありえません。 Big_D01
...Webページをアクセシブルにするのは手間がかかることであり、企業に対しプラグインのインストールを奨めるだけなんて、絶対にばかげています。アクセシブルなWebページは、WCAG標準を使ってデザインや制作をすべきです。 w9fyi
...安上がりで済むから、コードを1行埋め込んでオーバーレイを導入すべきと持ちかけるのは、障害者の生活は投資に値しないと言っているようなものです。#a11y Kevmarmol_CT
@AccessiBe 私の誠意として、 https://t.co/1mQGCCtnIs を無償で検証した結果を共有しましょう。標準的なナビゲーションである「タブ」にお気づきでしょう。私がこのページをナビゲートしたい場合、オーバーレイを無効にするほか方法はありません。オーバーレイを有効にすると、とんでもないことが起こります。 eluberoff
#AccessiBeは、ページ上にある問題を修正するのではなく、ブラウジングを邪魔したり、その問題に変更を加えたりして、サイトを使いにくくします。ある生徒と私は「改良された」Webサイトに遭遇したけれど、恥ずかしながら、そのゴチャゴチャしたサイトをナビゲートするのは私の技量を超えていたので、その日は離脱しました。 turtlecatpurrz
アクセシビリティ オーバーレイは解決策ではなく、AccessiBeも例外ではありません。スクリーン・リーダーのユーザーである私にとって、オーバーレイのせいで多くのサイトが使いにくくなりました。評判の高いアクセシビリティの専門家や擁護者の信用を傷つけるとしても、この見解が揺らぐことはありません。 https://t.co/ZgFt8JtsbZ SingingTigress
スクリーン・リーダーをお使いのフォロワーの皆さまへ:Accessibeをご存知でしょうか?それが埋め込まれたページをよりアクセシブルにすることを謳う、オーバーレイです。これ以上詳しくは説明しません。要するに、まったくナンセンスです。かかわらないほうがいい!
MarcoZehe
自動的なソリューションが、サイトをアクセシブルにすることを約束するのは不可能です。その要件を達成するには、自動化以上のものが必要です。責任を免れることはできません。障害を持つ顧客に悪影響を与えることは、ほぼ確実です。 twithoff
Webサイトにアクセスして、このサイトはスクリーン・リーダーに対応していますという #accessiBe の通知を聞くたび、私のブロッカーが正しく機能していないことを知り、そしてそのサイトで地獄のような体験をすることになります。 https://t.co/ZFzKMfUe0t BorrisInABox
私はこの @AccessiBe をiOS上のVoiceOverとChromeで利用してみました。4つ星の評価は「発音できません」とアナウンスされました。🤦♀️ https://t.co/f4MxQ2eLLP racheleditullio
私はカスタマーサービスに、オーバーレイのせいでサイトを利用できないことを詳しく記したメールを送りましたが…私は本当にがっかりしていますけれど、話を聞いてもらえることを願っています。 @Goodfair_ 、AccessiBeを使うのをやめてください。 kit_flowerstorm
私はアクセシビリティの専門家ではなく、そこそこのスキルを持つスクリーンリーダー・ユーザーにすぎませんが、このスレッドが的確であることと、私が #AccessiBe について経験した限り、アクセシビリティの問題があるサイトをさらに扱いづらくしていることを、お伝えします。 https://t.co/cfyrEqXwTy atfarnum
...全盲または弱視の方で、スクリーン・リーダーのような支援技術に頼っている方は、人気のあるWebサイトが使いにくくなっていることに、気づき始めているかもしれません。このページでは、あなたのコンピューターでAccessiBeを利用しないための方法を説明します... https://t.co/qbiKvolizS smartudlab
なるほど、確かにこれは私に向いていないようです。Fleet Farmという地元のチェーン店が、AccessiBeを使っています。そのおかげで、所在地の検索機能がめちゃくちゃになっています。検索結果ページの最初に、このようなものが表示されます。 kellylford
Firefoxがアクセシビリティ検出をブロックしてくれるのは、ありがたいです。私の場合、 #AccessiBe が有効だとフォーカスがあちこちに飛びます。無効にすると、期待通りに動作します。 mhorspool
目下、アクセシビリティの問題を30%以上の確率で正確に検出できる自動ツールはありません。このことは、少なくとも1週間以上この分野に携わっている人なら、誰でも知っていることです。 #AccessiBe cswordpress
Webサイトをアクセシブルにするための完全に実用的な手段があります。それはプログラマーです。Webサイトをアクセシブルにするうえで重要なのは、ユーザーのニーズでしょう。それを満たすことができなければ、ビジネスを行うための基本的なコストを満たすこともできません。 WTBDavidG
#AccessiBe を有効にすると、ページは見出しで溢れかえります。レベル2の見出しが、たくさん現れるのです。各携帯電話の名称は、どちらの状態でも見出しのままですが、AccessiBeを有効にすると、表にあるコストやディスプレイ、その他のすべての見出しセルまで見出しになります。 CatchTheseWords
結論
市販されているどのオーバーレイ製品も、Webサイトを既存のどのアクセシビリティ標準にも完全に適合させることはできず、したがって法的リスクを排除することはできません。
Webにおけるアクセシビリティは、サイトの所有者にとっても、そのユーザーにとっても、大きな課題です。この課題を解決するための斬新なアプローチの発明は、賞賛に値します。
しかしオーバーレイの場合、とりわけ支援機能を提供するウィジェットを追加する場合、その課題は解決していません。さらに問題なのは、一部のオーバーレイ ベンダーが行っている、自社の製品を導入すれば顧客のサイトが法律や標準に即座に準拠できると約束する、欺瞞的なマーケティングです。
Webアクセシビリティの実践者を対象にWebAIMが行った調査によると、オーバーレイが効果的でないことは、広く合意されていることです:
回答者の大多数(67%)が、これらのツールはまったく効果がないか、あまり効果がないと評価しています。障害のある回答者は、72%が「まったく効果がない」または「あまり効果がない」と評価し、「非常に効果がある」と評価したのはわずか2.4%でした。
本ファクトシートのスポンサーおよび署名者による声明
上記にある情報の結果として:
- 私たちは、法律や標準に対する自動的な適合を提供するものとして欺瞞的なマーケティングを行うオーバーレイを、決して推奨や推薦、ないし受容しません。
- 私たちは常に、問題の発生源まで遡ってアクセシビリティを改善することを提唱します。
- 私たちは、オーバーレイ ベンダーが自社製品を販売するために欺瞞を用いるとき、看過しません。
- 具体的には、Webアクセシビリティ オーバーレイの廃止をここに提唱し、それらの製品を導入しているサイトオーナーには、より堅牢で独立した恒久的な戦略を用いて、サイトをよりアクセシブルにするよう奨励します。
署名
一部のオーバーレイ ベンダーは、このファクトシートを、競合他社が自分たちの信用を失墜させるために作ったものと決めつけようとしています。そのような主張は、批判をそらすためのガスライティングの典型です。
