Does each frame have a meaningful title that tells the user the purpose of the frame?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
When navigating the page using keyboard navigation, is the user able to navigate effectively from one frame to the next?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: The user can move between frames, however because the documents themselves are in a non-readable format, when the user is actually viewing a document, the screen reader jumps from the bottom of the first frame to the bottom of the next. It reads the document as not being there at all.
