2. The General Services Administration should publish data on #Section508 compliance.
#GSA gathers and analyzes data on Section 508 compliance twice a year but does not
release it to the public or Congress. Releasing these data publicly will improve #transparency and accountability regarding Section 508 compliance

I co-authored a Mozilla blog post about our #a11y work in celebration of International Day of Persons with Disabilities. I'm posting it a bit late here, but better late than never, I guess. :)

Thinking about whether an audio player component should use be a toolbar role with a roving tabindex, even though HTML audio controls do not, and if they should, what happens when the left and right arrow keys get you to a range input uses those arrow keys to adjust the number on the input. #a11y #webComponents

Clickup


Do you use #Clickup or do you know someone who uses it for managing projects and task? Seems that #accessibility is broken and I am looking for better alternatives or maybe workarrounds how to use it. #A11Y


You would probably not be surprised to hear that the :dumpsterfire: formally known as Twitter's new checkmarks are not accessible. They differ by color only which makes them hard to detect by users who are color blind.

Folks, I want to boost your lovely posts, I really do but I won’t if you don’t write image descriptions (alt text) so people who use screen readers can also experience them.

It doesn’t take long to write one.

And if you’re posting an image of text and you have an iPhone, you can select the text from the image with a long press and copy/paste it.

Even Linux has apps that do this (like Frog: tenderowl.com/work/frog/)

Super post from @SaraSoueidan on how to set up a screen reader testing environment.

sarasoueidan.com/blog/testing-…

Sara, do you or anyone else know of a way test VoiceOver on Mac if we don't have access to a Mac? One of the perennial frustrations in the web industry is the assumption we're all on Macs. For many, Macs are well out of our budget ranges, but we still want to do the best we can with the tools at hand. Any advice?

#OpenAccess journals, please take heed.

New study: "Using a random sample of 300 English language open access journals, we assessed author guidelines to understand image requirements for submissions…We found that most open access journals do not include disability accessibility elements in their guidelines…While over half the journals had required parameters for image submission, none of them required alt text."

@Piciok Not everything you want to do may be possible, but everything in Flutter starts with semantic tree. I hope this article helps: didierboelens.com/2018/07/sema….

With WCAG SC 4.1.1 Parsing maybe going away in WCAG 2.2, I wrote how I think other SCs will (already) cover for the narrow 4.1.1 bits:

“The 411 on 4.1.1”

This is *not* my opinion on the current wording nor argument for removal. #a11y

I do find it mildly ironic that I just got a marketing email about a accessibility book with an unsubscribe link with a contrast of 2.35 and so not accessible at all. #a11y #darkpattern
