Hm. The @EUCommission had a website about accessibility overlays and... Now it's hidden under a SharePoint login? Did someone insist they take it down?

talksina,

@sarajw @EUCommission terrible? Accessibility overlays are crap! They are illusion, like attempting to cure a broken bone with fresh water. Or, better: AI-driven accessibility solutions might be a guidance during website building, from scratch. But not those overlays claiming to convert a site in accessible mode.

Houston we have a problem...

talksina,

@emmecola For blind people like me, if AI solves a captcha it's a miracle, not a problem. Companies should rethink client-based human verification; captcha is a discriminatory message. If you -company- experience fraud, it's not my responsibility to tell you I'm a human. It's your responsibility to protect me SERVER side, not placing a guardian with the gun at the door who kicks me out if I'm blind, deaf or cognitive impaired, because I can't solve the quiz you implemented.

- if you're blind and want to go back to 90s technology, use editor's "move block" upwards or downwards key combination. ctrl-alt-shift-t for up, ctrl-alt-shift-y for down, well, screen reader won't tell you the block has been moved and you'll relive the 90s experience when you had to count button pressures to learn a remote control or cd player's usage. Moving block from toolbar is correctly notified instead. Hope it's fixed soon! https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/61168

I've just pushed a bunch of changes for screen readers to the main branch of FediThready. ( It makes long texts into post sized chunks)

I've run through it with and it seems ok. HOWEVER it all feels like it's "usable" instead of "good".

If there's a geek out there who uses screen readers regularly I would REALLY appreciate some suggestions on how to make this actually feel good for folks who rely on screen readers.

talksina,

@masukomi I might give it a check - but not immediately. I have no coding skills though. Maybe I could upload issues/requests, because voiceover for mac is quite poor, as screen reader. Especially when it deals with complex web apps. Damn, I'd like a day to be 72 hours long!!!
