"Sammelochsen"? Ich weiß nicht, ob das ein #Fehler oder Slang ist, aber liebe #Screenreader-Benutzer*innen:
Auf jeden Fall sind "Samenschoten" gemeint.

I often get asked about how I do software development with a #ScreenReader and I also have some thoughts about #DevTool #Accessibility. Finally found the time to write my thoughts down properly.
Are you a developer looking to make a difference? NVDA is on GitHub with an enthusiastic community of people who report issues, test bugs & features & submit code to improve NVDA. Now is an exciting time to become involved in a not-for-profit. Use your skills to directly impact the lives of blind & vision impaired people around the world!

Here's a quick demo on how to enable TTS on the Nintendo Switch 2 from the home screen. Hopefully these menus are the same across all devices, though I have no way to know that for certain.
Edit: For other blind Switch/Switch 2 owners, I started a WhatsApp group to discuss the accessibility of the console and it's games. DM if you'd like to join.

Here's another one for the #blind #hiveMind primarily, but feel free to chime in if you have a good idea.
For an upcoming video/stream, I am looking into video editing as a #screenReader user. I'd like to cover both #mac and #windows and am curious what solutions have worked well for people in the past.
Conditions are no mouse usage at all, app needs to be screenreader-compatible, ideally somewhat full-featured both for #audio and #video.
Be it #iMovie, #Clipchamp, #quicktime, #reaper, a dreaded #AI tool, tell me thy success stories, thy struggles and thy findings! :) #accessibility

Argh. More and more people/groups I'd like to keep in touch with are having their most social interactions and taking feedback using #discord. I hate the experience though as far as using it with a #Screenreader, either on my computer or on my phone. Can somebody please direct me to a space or give me some suggestions on how to use it efficiently as a #Blind person? Thanks! #Technology #socialMedia #Accessibility
A: "Hey I just noticed that on your website, feature X doesn't work"
B: "Oh really? Thanks for reporting we'll fix that"
a: "Hey I just noticed that on your website, feature X doesn't work for #screenreader users and hasn't for over a year"
B: "It's very important to us and is on our roadmap, thanks for reporting baii"
If you work in, or need, #accessibility you'll be intimately familiar with this frankly embarrassing situation. If you're a #developer, let this be your trigger to educate yourself on the doubtless extensive docs your UI toolkit of choice (yes, that includes #react and #html) maintains on accessibility so you don't have to send that response and make a human being feel like they don't belong to society, because there's a non-zero chance that's EXACTLY how someone might read such a dismissal. I woke up to three such emails today and I think I'm done with advocacy today before even starting my day. Shit's depressing as all fuck. How's your day? :)
My graphic designer wife is looking to learn more about the practical aspects of creating accessible PDFs.
Testing the document with the most common tools seems like the best way to evaluate said access.
#ScreenReader users, what do you use to read PDFs on your Mac or Windows machine? Does the app matter? #a11y
Hi,
I have a question about screen readers. I have a website and on it I have link. As part of the link's text, I've put in the FavIcons of the websites. They are just some visual fluff for a very simplistic website. Will they be ignored by screen readers? If not, is there a way to make them so?
I at least feel it would be less helpful if it said, "1 900 hotdog's logo, 1-900-HotDog," than just "1-900-HotDog." But that's just me asking.
Today on the IC_null docket:
- Is a #fedora actually awesome?
- How's debian do where #accessibility is concerned?
- Will we have time for #kaliLinux?
I discuss the installation experience, the first-time experience for these distros when using a #screenReader, and we answer the question: can you actually #justSwitchToLinux if you depend on assistive tech?
The fun starts at 3 PM EST, 9 PM CEST over at https://twitch.tv/IC_Null or https://youtube.com/@viewpointunseen #selfPromo #stream #foss #tech #blind
Being a blind student isn't easy.
Making a difference for kids in school, enables them to make a difference as adults in their community. Does your school have a student who could benefit from a screen reader? And a budget which could benefit from it being FREE? We have the solution!
And if you can help us, it would make a huge difference too!
Screen reader HTML support tables
"With the addition of Gez Lemon to the editing team, work continues on expanding and improving the HTML and screen reader support information."
Gibt es eine Möglichkeit halbwegs einfach, ohne extrem teure Software, barrierefreie PDF Dokumente zu erstellen?
Word Dokumente sind einfach nicht immer praktikabel, aber es geht mir mittlerweile extrem gegen den Strich ein Dokument zu erstellen, dass von so vielen Menschen nicht ohne große Probleme gelesen werden kann. Gerade im Arbeitskontext ist das einfach zu wichtig.
Hat jemand Tipps/ Erfahrungen?

The weather's cloudy a lukewarm. Perfect for today's stream where I create a "yes, but no" resource for everyone who tells me to just switch to #linux :P
Nah but seriously we'll look at a number of first-time experiences (install, initial boot into the OS ec.) of various popular and less popular distros. I will comment on the #accessibility considerations primarily for #screenReader users and I'm sure other things'll come up. See you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed around 3 PM EST/8P BST/9pm CEST over at https://twitch.tv/ic_null or https://youtube.com/@blindlyCoding. My #peertube account is, unfortunately, not approved yet :) #selfPromo #tech #foss #selfHosting #homeLab #stream #ubuntu #debian #fedora #elementaryOs #kaliLinux #blind
Re this
Current status: preparing a bunch of #linux ISOs so we can look at installers, first-time experience and a bit of usage from a #blind, #screenReader user perspective on this saturday's stream. hey @danirabbit #Elementary 8's gonna be first in line. Also looking at #kaliLinux , #debian, #fedora, #ubuntu and #LinuxMint #justSwitchToLinux #justWatchMeTry #letsJustSeeIfItEvenLetsMe :P
