The #Dutch authority for consumers and market #ACM will be focusing accessibility characteristics of #webshops in the Netherlands in order to make them more accessible for the #visuallyimpared as described the #EAA from the #EU.

Why does it seem like there are absolutely no smartphone #VideoGames for #Blind and #VisuallyImpared people?
I'm looking for something that works with sound and touch that I can do when my eyes are strained from spending too much time looking at screens.

Dear #VisuallyImpared constituents and anyone else who would benefit from subtitles and transcripts on, for now, YouTube videos:
Assuming we sweep to the the technical terminology correct, as a team is doing for #OpenZFS, what best practices should we follow?
Is correct punctuation and capitalization appreciated or harmful?
Should organic “uh’s” and repeated words be left in?
Should hashtags or other conventions be in such text?
My apologies for never looking into this very deeply until now and OMG there are hundreds of hours of Production User videos to sweep.
FYI: YouTube now allows you to delegate only subtitle editing. For the win.

Dear low vision friends, bear with me on this... one of my most useful low vision aids never gets mentioned in podcasts or included in lists of equipment by assessors.
It's a microscope! But the right microscope. Not one that magnifies like x300.
It magnifies x20 or x10 and has 2 eye pieces - binocular / stereo. So lovely to use. Kind on the eyes and 3D. Unbelievable.
When you need to:
- read
- glue something
- apply bump ons with precision

btw just because I have no idea how the best way to handle this is and I feel like every way I've done it feels off: #ScreenReader users, please tell me what kind of alt text you'd like to see on something like this--a spreadsheet with a chart of the data. It's a lot of numbers, and I could just give the general point of them, but at the same time if you're a numbers nerd you might want the actual numbers (and the idea with alt text is letting you get the same info from the image as someone who can see it)...I dunno! I'm sure there's some Standards And Documentation out there but I really prefer asking the actual people who follow me or see my posts what they really want out of this kind of chart because I'll probably be posting more of these updates as time goes on. I probably wont' have every single number listed forever but...yeah, what kind of alt text are you looking for for this spreadsheet with dates and numbers and a chart? A broad overview or do you want all the numbers? In this one I tried to condense it as much as I could while keeping the numbers and pairing the numbers off to give the direct comparisons. Is that good or is there a better way here? Maybe even it'd be better for me to keep the alt text short but link to a copy of the spreadsheet that you can scroll through however you want? I definitely don't know how spreadsheets play with screenreaders so...yeah give me your input here.

@Sweetbee Die beiden Bilder des Ausgangsposts zeigen einmal den Griff der Eingangstür der Metzgerei in Form einer abgehackten Schweinepfote, und im zweiten Bild sind zwei Türgriffe in Form von eingeschlagenen Hackebeilen. #ALT4you #alttext #blind #visuallyImpared

Hi folks,

When I read some picture descriptions I often came across the mentioning of colors.
For the #visuallyimpared folks, how important or even relevant is that fact to you? Does it even make sense? Of course anybody else can answer as well. 😉
Forgive me if it is a complete dumb #question 🙏
