So I wrote a blog post for the first time in 5 years, warning about hcaptcha's accessibility account. Long story short, they banned me from the accessibility account because I'm not blind. I am blind, but well, they seem to think not. Please boost, share, etc since this seriously affects me, and it's not ok at all. You can read the full blog post here: 4mt.me/hcaptchastory

I was banned from the hcaptcha accessibility account for not being blind | The Blog of Michael Taboada

Also known as: why you shouldn't trust a company who makes their product intensionally inaccessible with allowing you an accessibility workaround It's been a while, hasn't it? Well I'm back again with a long overdue blog post.

Does your site's accessibility hold up across languages?

I wrote about the practical tips I wish I'd had for making sure that accessibility efforts and internationalization/localization efforts alike don't leave out disabled speakers of other languages than our own.

It’s been 5 months since Australian Story aired an episode on NV Access founders, Mick Curran & Jamie Teh. The first Australian Story episode to be audio described. It was an incredible opportunity to share with a wider audience the importance of NVDA & our overarching message, that everyone deserves equal access to technology.

You can still watch the Australian Story episode, with Audio Description, on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=3i7gkN-1sA…

Disabled buttons suck:

#UIDesign #forms #usability #a11y #accessibility

Disabled buttons suck

Showing buttons as disabled until a form is complete might seem like a good idea. It is not. They usually create a lousy user experience and exclude many people with disabilities. Here's why disabled buttons suck and what to do instead.
