When using @MonaApp with #VoiceOver, is it possible to share an image attached to a post with another app? When I use the "view media" rotor action, and then triple-tap on what VoiceOver claims is the image, I get sharing options related to the alt text, or detected text, or something, but not the image itself. In the end I had to take a screenshot of the image and use that instead.
If you are #blind and you have been locked out of being able to use your InstantPot after the inaccessible app update, please email support@instantpot.com and refer to Case 02284154 asking that they restore #VoiceOver#accessibility to their #iOS app.
I just realized that if you're formatting to an abbreviated weekday then VoiceOver (at least Ava and Zoe Premium) will only fully pronounce some of the days.
I guess it's because the ones that aren't pronounced are actual words with other meanings? 🤔
Text(oneShowDay.formatted(.dateTime.weekday(.abbreviated)))
I've just pushed a bunch of #accessibility changes for screen readers to the main branch of FediThready. ( It makes long texts into post sized chunks)
I've run through it with #VoiceOver and it seems ok. HOWEVER it all feels like it's "usable" instead of "good".
If there's a #a11y 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.
This tech could have revolutionized the voice-over industry in the 90's... but instead it was lost to time. Hear Al Lowe talk about Sierra On-Line's secret in-house studio weapon: https://youtu.be/oOZhpcJIyd8
It's June 10, 2024, at 4:00 PM Central US time. Almost every blind person that owns an iPhone has installed the iOS 18 beta. Some are playing retro games with the new, AI driven screen recognition. Others are gladly using DecTalk as their main voice, the Enhanced Siri voices that use ML to speak using emotion and context, as their reading voice, Eloquence as their notification voice (sent to one ear to minimize distractions), and finding it amazing that VoiceOver emphasizes italic text, and emboldens bold text. Others are finding it amazing that they can navigate their whole phone using Braille screen input, searching to find things by typing a few letters, or just swiping down through everything. A few are connecting their multi-line Braille displays, and feeling app icons and images, made much more understandable through touch, using an AI filter.
The next day, when news of all these features filters down to Android users, they quickly begin hammering Google, wanting DecTalk and Eloquence on their Pixel phones, like iOS users have. But Google is silent as always, only just now having given Chromebook users high quality Google TTS voices.
Note: great liberty has been taken to imagine the coolest outcome for the vague feature announcements Apple gave for VoiceOver users. We'll see just how cool, or not, they actually are on June 10.
DEVONthink To Go 3.8.2 is here. It supports the PDF bookmarklet and no longer applies default styling to Markdown when you use your own CSS. The new version also shows fewer notifications, checks for broken file permissions, and improves VoiceOver support. #devonthinktogo#devonthink#pkm#markdown#css#voiceoverhttps://buff.ly/3yl1yyB
I noticed that with the iOS Weather app VoiceOver would say "Hourly Forecast" when you selected an hour in it but not say it again when you moved to another hour.
@bas helped me recreate this with an AccessibilityChildBehavior of "contain" and an accessibility label.
Now it says my label when I touch an hour in the Hourly Forecast or day in the Nearby Days.
