Comment :  Comments/Recommendation:  
This section should be reworded as follows (underlined italics indicate the revision):  

3.4 The Acc-VS shall provide alternative input mechanisms to enable non-manual input that is functionally equivalent to tactile input delivered bv the audio-tactile interface.  

Discussion: This recommendation ensures that the Acc-VS is operable by individuals who do not have the use of their hands bv a wide range of individuals with limited motor skills. All the functionality of the Acc-VS that is available through other forms of input, such as tactile, must also be available through the input mechanisms compatible with the system.
