I'm trying to cut back on time how much time I spent sending product/service feedback, but I just can't help it when a message from a company like Canadian Tire, who is big enough to know better, sends an email where the entire message is just "Hey Charles," and a bunch of images with no alt text.
(Also my computer is busy installing updates right now so I can'tbe productive anyway lol)

Great resource! Thank you Laura!

I pre-ordered the Clicks Power Keyboard* a few days ago, and got an email today whose content was entirely in images with no alt text. I sent a polite note about the importance of, benefits of, and legal requirements for, including alt text.
Their reply, <1 hour later, is a masterclass in how to handle such requests.

I have a question for #accesibility regarding the use of ALT text.
I often struggle making alt text in english, it is fine if i do it in my native language?

Related question: what's the status quo for captchas? At the moment we're using #LibreCaptcha but:
1. Not sure what's the status of AI vs. captcha. Are they still useful to stop bot accounts?
2. I feel a visual captcha will be an impediment for some users. What could be a good approach here?Feedback and boosts are greatly appreciated!

Been trying to cut my phone usage even more lately. One thing that definately really helps, is setting everything to greyscale.
Phone's boring as hell now, and I only really use it now to look something up if I desperately need to.
It has also opened my eyes even more to the #accesibility of colour choice in web design. When everything you look at is in black and white, you can immediatly tell when a site designer never even thought about making the colours accessible to people with visual disabilities. Colour contrast really matters!

@JordiGH @lambda The Wikipedia article about screen readers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader) does not mention OCR, and I have not seen it anywhere else. So let us better ask the experts:
Those of you who use a screen reader, does it support OCR (and do you use it)?

Does anybody know any good accessibility keyboards/mouse for people with Essential Tremors? The tremors are not super severe but the person that needs it can't use a regular keyboard.

At times like these, when everything is moving fast it's really easy to inadvertently leave out our Blind/low vision friends.
Please remember to add alt text to your images as you're sharing information!

Stumbed across this older article on Microsoft's Xbox Adaptive Controller and decided to share it
Source: @THR - March 8, 2019
“There is a large variety of hardware partners who create accessories that are compatible with the Xbox Adaptive Controller, and we have also waived the Xbox licensing fee for peripheral devices that meet accessibility and quality guidelines,” says Johnson.

I've so many nice #pictures (even if I say so myself) from my India travels since last August. I like to share them here but I feel defeated by the thought of writing alt text, and I can't bring myself to sharing without alt text. No compromise on that.
Anyway, that's where I'm. 😢

Soft spot for interactive elements
I have to admit, I have a soft spot for interactive elements. However, I understand that not everyone experiences the web in the same way. Many people either dislike or get distracted and disoriented by animations that cannot be paused. It's important to me to respect that. That’s where the prefers-reduced-motion media query comes into play. It’s a simple yet powerful way to tailor the experience for those who prefer less motion. How its done I created two classes to either show or […] -

As it turns out, #MacOS doesn't have any #accesibility options available during first setup. No Magnifier, no Screen Keyboard, nothing. You also cannot connect any #bluetooth accessory during the initial setup.
So now my parents are stuck with #Mac Mini serving as a paperweight until they get a USB-C hub, cuz they didn't realize you cannot connect your Bluetooth keyboard to Mac during initial setup.
What year is it? 1999? -

#inclusion #accesibility: List of emoticons: Unicode characters – Wikipedia #a11y
A lot of forum software (not just on retro computing or history) embed image smileys in their messages translated from text-smileys. It seems they missed that a lot of them have made their way into Unicode, making it not just easier to display but also a lot easier for visually impaired. So, please software developers, use the Unicode characters whenever possible.

I find myself idly wondering how much money do #ai #AI companies donate to #web #accesibility orgs. Since they piggyback on #screenreader acces to data.
I'd wager a buck it's nil.

Parę przemyśleń jako osoba z aparatami słuchowymi żyjąca w Polsce:
1. Polecam kupować baterie do aparatów z hurtowni. Grafika poniżej. Ceny zaobserwowane w moim otoczeniu.
2. Protetycy słuchu nie zawsze wiedzą co jest dobre dla młodej osoby głuchej/słabosłyszącej. Warto powiedzieć, że jakiś dźwięk boli albo by zrobili tak by np własny głos był cichszy w takiej i takiej sytuacji. Często spotykam się z traktowaniem jak klienta 80+ późnoogłuchłego a nie młodą osobę głuchą od urodzenia.
3. Aparaty to technologia wspierająca, więc warto podejść cyberpunkowo. Warto korzystać z wszystkich ciekawych opcji technologii, których nie ma normalny słuch - ale warto pamiętać, aby coś zostawić dla mózgu aby sam się nauczył np wyciszać, wyłapywać dźwięk itd. Zatem nie całkowita automatyzacja, aby nie utracić tej umiejętności słyszenia, ale wciąż.
4. Pętle indukcyjne są dostępne w wielu miejscach, ale obsługujący je często nie wiedzą, jak ich używać, a czasem nawet, jak się to nazywa. Nawet protetycy słuchu mogą źle ustawić odbiór pętli w aparatach.
5. Parowanie urządzeń łączących z aparatami słuchowymi jest trudne, bo nie da się zobaczyć, jak aparat reaguje ani jaki jest jego stan. Nie da się parować za bardzo bez strzelania na ślepo z włączaniem i wyłączaniem.
6. Większość ustawień aparatów słuchowych można zmienić tylko u protetyka, ponieważ urządzenia regulujące aparaty są dostępne tylko dla takich firm. Odbiera mi to kontrolę nad własnym słuchem i zmusza do wielokrotnych wizyt, aż protetyk ustawi wszystko poprawnie. Rozumiem, że chodzi o ochronę przed uszkodzeniem sobie słuchu, ale powinno to działać jak wybór systemu Windows-Linux czy zakup zapalniczki – na własną odpowiedzialność.
7. Mam teorię, że słuchawki douszne dla muzyków obsługujące do 120db podgłośnienia dają o wiele czystszy i szerszy zakres dźwięków niż aparaty słuchowe, które skupiają się tylko na zakresie mowy. No i są tańsze od aparatów o kilka tysięcy. Muszę to bardziej przetestować.
8. Kolejny vent coming...

All of that is to say that potentially losing out on using a laptop is not a relaxing thought to have. So it is nice to see that people spend time thinking about alternatives and sharing their knowledge. At the end of Nicole's post a voice controller called Talon Voice is mentioned, which to me seems like an amazing tool to have. It's been on my "that looks cool! I should try it out" list for a while, but I've seen how useful it can be.
I'm planning on trying it out soon after being reminded by Nicole's blogpost and combining it with another great tool called Cursorless. While Talon is aimed at controlling your computer in general, Cursorless is aimed at programming without using a keyboard. These kinds of tools are very nice to have in your back pocket just in case you ever need them.

Everybody hate the monilia
Monilia this and monilia that
Nobody hate the computer
Computer is a wicked talking parrot(...)
Any time I meet a computer
Take it from me confidentially
I'm going to grab the executor
And go jumping into the sea
Because computer tell them this
Computer tell them that
And the officials they all agree
Computer tell them the devil knows what
And they take the pension from me, yeh! yeh! -
I have to give Pinterest credit for one thing: it's really handy as an alt-text library because I can go into edit old pins and pull up the image descriptions (in a format where they are easy to cut and paste) when I use those images again elsewhere.
