#Blind and #PartiallySighted people on Mastodon and the Fediverse use special apps called “screen readers” that read text out loud, so they can tell what is on the screen.
There are many things that #sighted people can do to make their posts more accessible to people using #Screen Readers.
It is all fine. And also there are #SpeechToText apps, allowing people dictate their posts. But wouldn't it be nice to have a #VoiceMessages available as well? In a way similar to instant communicators? It could work as a #ServerSide #plugin or in a client. Perhaps somebody is already working on it?

I have an #accessibility question for #blind and #PartiallySighted users who use text-to-speech tools.
Has the recent development of machine-learning based synthetic voices such as Piper, Coqui, Mimic3 and Amazon Polly had any useful impact for you, or do you still use e-speak style voices?
Do the tools you regularly use support "Neural Voices" of the kind mentioned above?
I've noticed that integration is limited - for example, I can get transcription and reading tool Speech Note (https://flathub.org/apps/net.mkiol.SpeechNote) to read me anything I like in a range of up-to-date voices, but Gnome Orca - my OS-wide screen reader - remains intensely hard to customise.
But I'm a Linux user, and thus aware that accessibility remains an embarrassingly low priority in practical open source development, even where the component parts exist.
For example, few of the projects linked by the Piper team (https://github.com/rhasspy/piper?tab=readme-ov-file#people-using-piper) are focused on accessibility.

Calling all #ProjectManagers . My job in #MediaAccess for #Blind and #PartiallySighted people recently got more complex. Multiple incoming projects with limited staffing and a need to constantly (and quickly) adjust schedules and turnarounds, with multiple dependencies and ripple effects. What #ProjectManagement software would you recommend and why?

CW: Addendum on my accessibility advice, refining it based on feedback/questions
After answering many questions on #accessibility and #screenreaders used by #blind, #LowVision, #PartiallySighted, #VisuallyImpaired people, I think it would be good to summarise them in their refined forms in one spot for easy reference.
1. Writing well as a general advice stands, however, I wrote my post in English and naturally included some points specific to English. Screen readers are programmed to work best with languages according to their spelling conventions regarding capitalisation, punctuation, and symbol usage; covering anything from casual to academic writing styles. Substituting letters with symbols/numbers falls outside of such conventions, meaning words will not read correctly.
2. #AltText, and the time it takes to write them, is very much appreciated, regardless of length or level of detail. However, the more detail you can put in the more we can appreciate the image and your reasons for sharing it.
3. Multi-word hashtags in CamelCase, yes: #ThisIsWhatAnAccessibleHashtagLooksLike. It does not matter where you place them; either in the post's text or at the end. The best analogy for screen reader users being able to deal with hashtags in text is that we've become used to them in the same way we're used to people saying "uh", "ummm", or other extraneous vocalisations when talking.
Bonus: By all means, use emojis for that extra bit of expression, but in moderation.
Final thoughts: Screen readers can be customised by the user to make it work best for them, including minimising any annoyances. The above points will help loads regarding shared content. Assume that a screen reader user has optimised their settings to deal with the rest.
Once again, thanks for reading! 😘
