 ## Introduction
 
-[Microsoft UI Automation (UIA)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/ui-automation/ui-automation-overview) provides programmatic access to most user interface (UI) elements of desktop applications, as well as web content and web applications. This API enables assistive technology (AT) products, such as screen readers, to provide information about applications, their UI and contents to end users. With this information, ATs can allow the user to manipulate applications by means other than standard input.

With this information, ATs can allow the user to manipulate applications by means other than standard input.
 
 At a high level, UIA exposes two sets of APIs, *provider APIs*, those implemented by a web browser for example, and *client APIs*, those implemented by an AT. This document’s focus is on implementing the *provider* APIs inside Chromium. These APIs are not exposed to web developers, and it is not expected that web developers should change the way they build sites and web apps—these APIs are meant to map web content into a format useful to C/C++ programmers.

Some control patterns expose additional structural information, such as "this tree of nodes represents a table with rows and columns."

 # Summary Description
-Hardware Accelerated Audio Processing allows audio processing to be performed on dedicated audio processors. This process is commonly referred to as audio offload (the processing is offloaded from the computer's main CPU to the dedicated audio processor(s)). Because audio processing is a computationally expensive process, the use of specialized hardware can improve power efficiency, resulting in longer battery life. To read more about the general concept of audio offload on Windows, please see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/audio/hardware-offloaded-audio-processing

 We believe there is a general need to differentiate between streams intended for human consumption and streams meant to be used for transcription by a machine because there are many differences in the optimizations that are applied for each scenario. Specifically, requirements for communications between humans can be found in the [ETSI TS 126 131 specification](https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/126100_126199/126131/12.03.00_60/ts_126131v120300p.pdf), and include optimizations in noise suppression like the addition of pink noise in order to increase user satisfaction, which is in direct opposition to the needs of a speech recognition system. There is also a draft of testing methods for speech recognition systems that outlines some of the different requirements for those systems [STQ63-260v0210](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y_i7NkXbCuRWznYRl9dacy3xDdH2e7-m/view?usp=sharing).
 
-The proposed solution below was inspired by the categories that Windows offers for audio streams. These categories allow you to specify what kind of audio stream you want (ex: “speech” for when someone is dictating into a mic), which gives the operating system a chance to optimize the stream for that type of input. After some research, we found that similar categories exist across [Android](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioAttributes.html), [iOS](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avaudiosessionmode?language=objc), and, of course, [Windows](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/audio/audio-signal-processing-modes).
