I failed to note WAI’s Pronunciation Task Force nor did I mention its draft spec in my post, so I added them as an addendum as well as a great comment from Brennan Young on an old post of mine that relates:

Don’t Override Screen Reader Pronunciation

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.

The "Report link destination" command in NVDA 2023.1 is very popular. Press NVDA+k to report exactly where a link goes. This is an important #security feature for users. Do you use it? Read more in our In-Process blog: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-6… #a11y #ScreenReader #NVDA

*sigh*

Just because someone claims a _thing_ is “accessible” does not make it so.

Failing WCAG, the bare minimum, can be confirmed with a quick automated check: nested interactives (1.3.1/4.1.2), not dismissable (1.4.13), hidden items get focus (2.4.7), state not conveyed (4.1.2), heading mismatch (1.3.1/2.4.6).

This demonstrates why CSS-only widgets are inaccessible: adrianroselli.com/2023/03/css-…

Email: CodePen Spark. Glowing Dropdowns, Three.js Tile, and Many Challenges Accepted. This week's CodePen community highlights include a trio of glowing dropdown menus crafted with accessibility in mind by REDACTED, a truly trippy Three.js recreation of azulejos tile from Tom Hinton, and CodePen community responses to a design challenge from Edoardo Mercati, a CSS riddle challenge from Kevin Powell's YouTube channel, and our very own #CodePenChallenge.
Chrome dev tools open to show the menu is made up of a div with tabindex holding a button, no aria-expanded, a CSS variable of --a11y, and an accessible name made up of the text from all the nested nodes instead of just the visible label.

CSS-only Widgets Are Inaccessible

Usually. I originally titled this InacCSS-onlyible. I even made this typographically, er, distinct image. Then I realized it was silly and will instead use the neologism in a talk so I can hear the groans IRL.

Computers used to be so easy. The screen would give you a menu of options; you picked one using the keyboard. But then graphical interfaces came along and made things more complicated, especially for screen reader users.

What if any modern e-commerce website could be accessed using a simple menu interface? This is the dream of researcher David Cane.

A slide named "Product/Cart Command Set" containing a table with three columns. The first column is a shopping task, such as search, add to cart, or checkout. The second column is an argument list, such as a search term or id and quantity of items to add to the cart. The third column is a keyboard shortcut for each task, such as control + S.

For my latest story, I got to correspond with a Ukranian developer with cerebral palsy who uses ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot to communicate and code. It was wild, because I don't think our interaction would have been possible just a few years ago.

Beyond that, though, #GenerativeAI is removing barriers for him to code and contribute. He even released his first #OpenSource project recently sharing his experience!

@Piciok Those are great questions! When I boosted Bellingcats’s post, I assumed the goal was to improve #a11y for disabled users. That’s the most common meaning of accessibility in software development. But they mean accessibility for less technical people.

Many folks seemed to like my demonstration of the mod for the #gothic #game by #piranchaBytes that allows #blind players to play! So now we have a little follow-up, maybe not something as exciting as the previous time, but no less important. The Smart Map feature allows the blind player to observe the 3D game surrounding in a 2D environment. Since the world of Gothic is pretty complicated with all kinds of polygons living inside it, we needed to make the map a bit simpler but no less functional. And so the Smart Map feature was born; it cuts the world to little squares, 500 X 500 in size, which can be navigated by the player allowing them to see what is going on in nearby sectors. Since Gothic uses the so called Waynet which is used for NPCs to know where we're going, we have a seemingly free pathfinding as well which, thanks to the limitations of #ZenGin is not as simple as I initially thought. Spread the word about YAGA! Thanks the great modders who contributedt his feature. #gaming #accessibility #a11y #gothic #rpg

Is anyone else using Dragon #SpeechRecognition? I would love to be buddies. This software takes a lot of wrangling!

I know about the KnowBrainer forum but I find their attitude kind of victim-blamey.
