AI-Generated Images, Screen Readers, and WCAG:
A seemingly simple label like “AI-generated image” becomes an accessibility issue. This is because alt text, link text, and information about an image’s origin serve different functions. #A11y #AI #AIAct #accessibility -
So Google showed off a new feature on their Android keyboard where you can use ASL for dictation. On paper it seems very useful, but when I stopped to think about it it didn't make much sense to me.
Voice dictation has advantages over typing in that it's faster (albeit with less control over the exact transcribed text), and can be done with one hand or sometimes even hands free without looking at the screen. Meanwhile the new ASL dictation is still faster with less control, but seemingly requires three hands (one of them can be a mount) and to look at the screen while you use both hands for signing. In what situations would this be better than typing?
Can I get any thoughts on this from any deaf/mute people? Or even from hearing/voiced people who use voice dictation, as I almost never use that feature. It's entirely possible I missed something, but my current analysis is that it's yet another flashy yet ultimately useless feature.

@kaveinthran The only problem is that I've seen controversy around apps using their API in the last few years, unless this has calmed down quite a bit since? That would worry me about anyone maintaining a #Reddit app. #accessibility #a11y #blind

I'm helping a former client of mine source candidates for a fulltime remote developer position, based in the US!
I'd love to continue working with them but I can't due to my location. You'd be working on Audiom, an audio-based map viewer that allows blind and low vision people to access maps.

ZeroHeight readers should be aware AudioEye is a litigious company that sues detractors:

https://adrianroselli.com/2023/02/audioeye-will-get-you-sued.htmlZeroHeight should be embarrassed.

Эх, невизуальная доступность, как же тебя наладить
Казалось бы, на дворе 2026 год, есть статьи про доступность (и ещё больше на английском) и, собравшись организовать повышение доступности у себя в отдельно взятом «корпоративном микрорайоне», просто берёшь, читаешь, сталкиваешься с тем, что о процессах организации разработки и тестирования accessibility мало что есть, но не останавливаешься, так как молод, полон сил и наивен, и проживаешь год, полный удивительных приключений и невыносимой радости бытия. Меня зовут Шуст Иван, за мной закреплено более 15 продуктовых команд, что делают фичи ежедневного входа, профиля, истории операций и связанные с безопасностью. Поэтому я, как лид, имею прямое отношение к процессам внедрения accessibility в Альфе, проживший последний год, пытаясь наладить и внедрить процессы accessibility, расскажу о всех граблях, которые мы собрали. Вы узнаете о рабочих подходах при работе с доступностью и как делать вот точно-точно не надо . Технических подробностей будет мало. Но будет очень много про процессы/политику/конфликты, — всё то, что так сильно любят лиды будет интересно всем. В общем, добро пожаловать под кат.
