Hey #ScreenReader users,
the screen reader user survey by #WebAIM is still open until August 31, 2026.
If you or someone you know have a couple of minutes to spare, I would really appreciate if you'd participate here:
https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey11/
This survey - together with the WebAIM Million report - is a vital source of user data not only for me, but also for other accessibility professionals.
Thank you! ❤️

WebAIM Million - 2026 Update
https://webaim.org/projects/million/"The 2026 update to WebAIM's annual analysis of the top one million home pages is available. This year saw an *increase* in detectable errors.
A primary concern is the significant increase in home page complexity and ARIA code—both of which correlate to increased detectable errors."

come check out the #WebAIM virtual conference tomorrow! Ted Drake and I will be talking about the challenges involved with trying to use AI to draft alt text; inaccuracies, hallucinations/confabulations, sanitization of disability representation and bias, lack of surrounding context, and more. Now with new potential solutions and prompts from when we presented this same topic back at #CSUN. #A11y https://conference.webaim.org/

For those who don't know, WebAIM @webaim is a non-profit service centre operating out of Utah State University.
They run the WebAIM Million project, which reports on the accessibility of the home pages of the top 1000,000 websites. [1]
Over the years, I've found their resources on Creating Accessible Documents to be a reliable link to share with folks to begin learning about document accessibility. [2]

Sad news: the WebAIM mailing list is shutting down on August 27.
The archives will remain available.
Since 1999, the WebAIM @webaim email list has distributed discussions on web accessibility and provided a virtual community for a diverse range of members. I've been subscribed since 2002, and I learned more about accessibility from the list and its members than from any other single source on the web.
End of an era.

#Barrierefrei #Webdesign #a11y
#Joomla Kunden-Website: Lighthouse gibt 100% für Barrierefreiheit. Der Joomla eigene Barriere-Checker meckert auch nicht. Aber #Webaim https://wave.webaim.org/ gibt Kontrast-Warnungen für die Überschriften im Footer heraus, selbst wenn Hintergrund weiß und Schrift schwarz eingestellt ist. Wie kann das sein? False Positive von Webaim?
Link zur betroffenen Webseite sende ich gerne per PN -

Used my Saturday morning rainy cafe run to work on my #WebAIM conference slides. The first time I have brought anything other than a book with me. I must be panicking. At least this time none of the 7am crowd asked me what kind of pedestrian book I was reading (though there was a side conversation about remote gaming and VTTs).
1½ weeks to me rambling about tables:

The votes are in, looks like #biden won this one, sorry #trump
"Both sites are better than average pages found in the #WebAIM Million, but both could improve significantly with a few relatively simple changes that would not require throwing out an entire widget or design. They would just involve tweaks to what’s already there."

As a front-end developer, there are some things that jumped out to me in the recent screen-reader survey. I'll share a couple of them, but keep in mind that I don't typically use a screen reader myself. You can take a look at the results yourself at:

A few words on the results of the #WebAIM Screen Reader #a11y survey, as they have just come out:
The results are likely not very representative of current screen reader usage at all, as the survey targets the same audiences each year. They are completely missing out on #blind people who are not as competent with computers - and to become competent gets harder and harder each year.
Continues as a thread.
