#assistivetechnologies — Public Fediverse posts

My reply seems to have gotten eaten by Mastodon. I wrote this poll because people are always encourage others to include #AltText for pictures. I know polls like this don't mean anything, but only 10 people replied. Hopefully the technology for pulling text from pictures keeps improving so more people use #AltText

The other thing I’m curious about is #assistiveTechnologies on #AppleVisionPro .
I just talked with a friend who is working in the medical field about clients with a brain injury. Some can only move eyes, blink, and maybe can move fingers a little, but may be aware and awake.
The device with its already large ecosystem of applications may make a huge difference here and it is cheap.

Anybody have info on academic journals focusing on "digital accessibility" and "assistive technologies"? Any suggestions also on professional magazines or the like are welcome!

Did a lovely (all female 💪) in-person #FigJam workshop yesterday with the following topics:

- #inclusion #exclusion #accessibility
- What to look for when doing a quick accessibility check
- Tools for doing an accessibility check

Was so much more fun to do it in the same room with the participants and got very inspired by their questions.

Gonna start working on another one to show how you can leverage #landmarks to improve the structure of a website for #AssistiveTechnologies

> Until a couple of years ago, the browsers did not treat generated content as “real” content. They did not expose it to #AssistiveTechnologies like #ScreenReaders.
[…]
For visual users, the link text “Get the Report (PDF)” would have been clear. But “(PDF)” was not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies […] so browsers started to treat #GeneratedContent as actual content.
