RE: https://mstdn.party/@zed/117067814902609663
#Mastodon #fediverse question, if I write a toot in French, selecting French as the language of the post, then write alt-text in English, will that mess up people who use #screenreaders ?
Since I’m still trying to learn French, if I already know how to say something in French, and it makes more sense to write in French (like my meeting friends post, including the Eiffel Tower pic), I want to use French. But I also wrote the alt-text in French thinking I had to.
What’s best practice here ?

@mckensie Oh man, I love Phineas and Ferb. I've seen a few episodes, they're hilarious. And you know what's even better, the Doofenshmirtz's schemes are just so ridiculous. I can totally see it, a universal screen reader that fails, that's genius. And I love the idea of the Double Talk voice being the one to defeat it. I mean, Perry the Platypus is just too cool, but the Double Talk voice is just so annoying, it would be perfect. I'm curious, how did @mcourcel come up with this idea? And by the way, I've heard of Pocket TTS, it's a great plugin for NVDA, I use it all the time. #PhineasAndFerb #NVDA #ScreenReaders

Nice concept, but hurting screen readers is not a great solution to the #AI problem, I'm afraid 😔
Almost every solution except Iocaine hurts #screenreaders, if I understand correctly.

@christianrickertSeems #screenreaders are considered:
"Screen readers skip protected regions (they're removed from the accessibility tree), so nobody hears a decoy read aloud. [Options are either to] ship your real words encrypted into the page behind a time-lock puzzle the reader's browser grinds out on request (default budget 20 seconds of their CPU, 7.6 s measured in Chrome; nothing to host) [or to] point at a build-time recording you make."

😀 Happy World Emoji Day
Emojis can bring personality and fun to our messages, but accessible communication is important.
For screen reader users, emojis are often read aloud by description. A few emojis can add meaning, while too many can make a post harder to understand.
Celebrate today by using emojis thoughtfully & keeping key info in clear text.
What emoji best describes your day?

@jevvv
> While i LOVE the use of alt-text and want to see it normalised, sadly I am a poor alt-texterI wonder if there's a way to embed alt-text in the metadata of image files? If so, image editing software could make it a standard part of image creation workflows. Then social software could read and display that metadata when alt-text is requested by screen readers, etc, with no extra steps required during posting.

I am having a problem signing in to my Ebay account. It keeps asking me to check a checkbox. I do so, and then, it gives me an inaccessible captcha with no audio alternative. I tried this on Windows 7, 10, and 11, with Firefox and Supermium, and nothing changes. I can't even read their accessibility page because it asks me to sign in and sending me back to the captchas! Is there a trustworthy captcha solver that works with NVDA or a way around this? Alternatively, does anyone here know of another site that sells vintage and antique things, or even another ebay replacement in general? I've been with them for over twenty years as a buyer, but if I need to change sites, I will do so. This is ridiculous!
