#A11Y
While on the subject, AAPD has a call out for testimonials to the US Dept of Justice as to how web inaccessibility affects you. Comments need to be received by Oct 2: https://aapd.quorum.us/campaign/51385/
NVDA pronounces intersectionality as "intersectional iddy." Not great for a multiple choice quiz answer.
Expanding Your Touch Targets: "It works differently in each browser, but the end result is the same: Browsers kind of expand the tap target to assist users who are unable to click perfectly given the combination of their circumstances and abilities." #a11y https://www.stubbornella.org/2023/09/17/expanding-your-touch-targets/
What is the EU Web Accessibility Directive? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Accessibility_Directive #eu #a11y #law
I liked this point made by Michele Lucchini and Jeff Adams of UsableNet in a webinar earlier this month.
95% sounds like a great score. But is it good to have 95% compliance with accessibility standards, if that last 5% includes a keyboard trap that prevents users from completing the use case for your website?

Oh, fun. Paragraph containing strong tag in side a heading element.
<div class="block-text__row"><div class="block-text__col brand--head"><h2><div class=" brand--linkColor"><div class="fr-view"><p><strong><span style="color:rgb(52, 50, 153);font-size:38px;">Code of Ethics</span></strong></p></div></div></h2></div></div>
WCAG 2.2 supprime le critère 4.1.1 Analyse syntaxique (validité du code et du doctype). Le critère passe automatiquement conforme sur WCAG 2.0 et 2.1.
En attendant que le RGAA soit modifié, chez @access42 , on a fait le choix de considérer les critères 8.1 et 8.2 comme conformes pour ne pas remonter des erreurs qui n’ont plus d’impact pour l’accessibilité.
I've personally never seen a case where an accessibility overlay didn't make the accessibility of a website worse than it would have been without the overlay.

Saviez-vous qu'on peut être enseignant spécialisé auprès d'élèves en situation de handicap tout en étant soi-même en situation de handicap ? Rien ne s'y oppose, l'une d'entre elles fait partie de la promotion 2023-2024 et a une déficience visuelle. Elle a bien s^r droit à tous les aménagements d'épreuve prévus par les textes. #a11y #accessibilité
Cool tool shared by an attendee at WordPress Accessibility Day: Contrast Grid.
"Test many foreground and background color combos for compliance with WCAG 2.0 minimum contrast."

Could be a great helper when building out a color palette.

In less than an hour, @briancoords and I will be presenting how to create #a11y accordions for the #WordPress block editor at WP Accessibility Day! Registration is free! https://2023.wpaccessibility.day/sessions/a-recipe-for-an-accessible-accordion-block/
Oh SHIT! Has anyone considered how the new UI changes regarding trailing #hashtags might affect #disabled #visuallyImpaired folks? Is there something in the code which excludes that from screen readers? Taking a glance at the HTML, it doesn't look like it!

Survey: Attitudes to Digital Accessibility 2023 https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Attitudes-Survey-2023 #a11y #survey
Quick question for screen reader users because I have seen different opinions on this but not all of those opinions have been from people who use screen readers so I don't really know which way to go with this.
If I post an image that is, say, a screenshot of a wall of text, and it is important that all of that text be transcribed, what do you prefer? The transcription to be in the alt text, or to be in a followup post?
(Just for extra info, when I've done the second option, I've usually done something like "screenshot of a post by Whoever, transcription in replies", so it's still clear what the image is and that a transcription exists)
Also please, if you do not use a screen reader at all, refrain from voting. I want to hear what helps people who need it the most.
WordPress Accessibility Day is about to start and you can still register if you haven't had a chance. Opening remarks are at 10:45 a.m. EDT.

@Deuchnord Je suppose que tu as aussi regardé BBB ? #BBB #BigBlueButton #Visionconférence avec #SousTitrageEnDirect notamment pour #a11y #accessibilite #sourds #malentendants
Mastodon, j'ai besoin de ton aide !
Je recherche un logiciel de #visioconférence *qui ne soit pas Google Meet ou Microsoft Teams*, qui propose un système de sous-titrage en direct.
A priori Jitsi n'a pas cette option (ou alors elle est très bien cachée)
Tu as des pistes ?
Le boost rend le monde plus accessible.
FYI lack of image #captions for #a11y is likely hampering spread of your important messages. Simply provide them clicking 'Edit' on the uploaded image preview.
Or, if you are using a #Xitter to Fediverse bridge, consider installing a #Fediverse to Xitter bridge.
In this case:

“Accepting the full social status of people with disabilities, understanding their digital accessibility needs, and creating websites and applications that meet those needs is the only way to ensure equality and equity. That requires properly remediating accessibility issues in existing websites and applications, and – perhaps more importantly – building accessibility into future digital projects.”
