Wow, Austria’s Accessible Media turns 20 years old! #atag #atag25 #accessibility

@parideis displayed the current state of AI image descriptions. Very interesting to see how different the tools interpret the same image!

He concludes that AI can be used as a tool to create image descriptions but only when using it responsibly.

The #ATag is celebrating its 20th anniversary in Vienna today, with a lot of talks from amazing people. Let‘s go! ✨

Ketelfabrikant #Atag stopt de productie van cv-ketels in #Lichtenvoorde. Het plan is deze werkzaamheden te verplaatsen naar een centrale Europese fabriek in Italië, zo maakt het bedrijf bekend. Een keuze die directe gevolgen heeft voor het aantal banen in Lichtenvoorde.

The FFG Austria shared insights into their #a11y monitoring of 2023. The top detected issues, including 2 new ones, were:

1. Info and relationships
2. Non-text content
3. Name, role, value
4. Logical order when using a keyboard
5. Visible focus (new)
6. Text contrast
7. Keyboard (new)

@Piciok showed us how blind gamers play with a live #gaming session that had me invested. He highlighted that besides audio descriptions, different sounds for (interactive) elements are essential. They are what make games not only accessible but more fun and faster to play than others.

@kentparkstreet

YES!!!

You bring up an excellent point.

Authoring Tool accessibility is a critical and often ignored issue.

Responsive design needs to be about more than break points for different sized rectangles.

Interfaces that respond to user needs and harmonize with other settings - such as large print!

Also, sometimes advocating for a good cause can turn into zealotry, your point also illustrates the need for humility and compassion in our assessment of other's behavior.

Sometimes a lack of accessibility might be a case of bad interface, and not bad human.

Thank you for helping to raise awareness!

I would love some support on this #CKEditor5 issue https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/13844

So many accessibility errors can be fixed with #ATAG. #A11YFirst does a great job making a #WYSISYG better.

Intopia Webinar: Introduction to ATAG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1T849ZFJ5g Any UI that creates web content must be accessible and must help create accessible content. #ATAG #a11y #UIDesign

I like the early #accessibility tips from https://fedi.tips/mastodon-and-fediverse-accessibility-tips/ especially the bits at the end where admins can add CSS to help support their authors to create better content.

I wonder if there are more tools to help authors create more accessible content. #ATAG 2.0 is really powerful, yet old school social media hasn't adopted it.
