“Don’t Override Screen Reader Pronunciation”
adrianroselli.com/2023/04/dont…
When many devs, testers, and authors first start listening to content through a screen reader, they are surprised to hear dates, pricing, names, abbreviations, acronyms, etc. announced differently than they expect.Adrian Roselli

Hey folks, I'm looking for a dev job in the UK and would appreciate recommendations 👉👈
I'm very adaptable, and have experience doing:
- 2D games and asset editing tools
- Desktop apps using Qt, Win32 and WinForms
- Full-stack web using various frameworks
- Systems code in Rust
I’m also highly interested in lower-level stuff like reverse-engineering, compilers and emulators — I’ve only done these as a hobbyist so far (see wuffs.org/projects), but I’d love to pivot my career towards these

Näin virrassa uutisen lapsityövoiman normalisoinnista, ja siitä tuli mieleeni Vapriikin Finlayson-näyttely.
"James Finlayson toi lasten tehdastyön Suomeen."
"Vaikka Finlayson ei saanut tehtaastaan suurta ja menestyvää, hän järjesti tuleville yrittäjille otolliset olosuhteet vakinnuttamalla lapsi- ja naistyövoiman käytön sekä hankkimalla tehtaalle sen privilegiot."
Microsoft Windows just got a new Mastodon client!
It's called @ellieapp.
While it's very early access, I love the incredibly minimal interface and the snappy responsiveness.
I'm also glad that a new native Windows app was just released because the main Windows app has been Whalebird, and it's much too Slack-like for my liking.
Features are lacking in Ellie right now, such as Federated feed and the ability to upload photos.
But I like what I see!

in reply to Adrian Roselli, pH0 • • •I generally agree with you, however there are some rather nuanced situations where modifying how a screen reader pronounces text is quite desirable IMO. For example, MuseScore 4 deliberately modifies pronunciations of such things as Roman numeral analysis and does so with good reason.
Thread incoming.

in reply to Noah Carver Has Moved • • •@noahcarver That sounds like a clear use case.
While it is less about how screen readers pronounce words and more about how they represent notation, I am also not surprised given poor mark-up support for all forms of notation (MathML being an obvious example) and screen readers lacking sufficient context for parsing.
