#AudioDescription

Sounds boring, right?

But it doesn't have to be!

It can be #StoryTelling in the best possible way.

Watch and listen to this teaser from
#Disney's #Frozen

I find it such #fun to listen to! 😁

Folks, have you tried the new Thunderbird 115 Beta 3 and found any access issues? Since this will become the official release in a few weeks, I decided to try it - with NVDA - and found that some controls make it more difficult to move from the folder tree to the message list, or message tree, via Tab/SHIFT+Tab. So any hints re how to hide/remove these controls would be welcome.

Writing my post about Vienna yesterday, I have completely forgotten that the #Warsaw underground have also made all of their announcements publicly available. Those are read by the late Tomasz Knapik, one of the most famous voice-over voices of the Polish movie scene. Explanation: before 1989, the available movies of the West were sparse in Poland and so it was cheaper to employ a voice-over i.e. one person reading all of the dialogue in Polish dubbed over the original audio track in whatever language a given movie came in. The tradition has stuck and now most of us wouldn't imagine it any other way. metro.waw.pl/strefa-pasazera/k… #Accessibility #Blind #PublicTransport


The city of Vienna is doing this right! On their official website, under the section dedicated to audible traffic lights and other accessibility features for blind and partially sighted pedestrians, not only are the implemented solutions described in a great detail, but you can also listen to samples of how the lights will sound when they're red and green. An mp3 download of the samples is offered as well. It's cool that somebody thought it a good idea to include the sounds that an #Accessibility solution makes. I feel prepared now! wien.gv.at/verkehr/ampeln/sign… ##Austria #Wien #Blind


Hello! I would like to invite everyone to join the #Accessible #Apple community on Discord. This server is dedicated to current and future #blind and/or #VisuallyImpaired users of #iPhone, #Mac, #Apple Watch and other #Apple products who would like to get the most out of their devices. If that's something you are interested in, give us a shot!!

Now to some FAQ that I guess will be asked over and over.
Q: There's only one administrator and that's you.
A: Yeah, but there's no point as there's literally noone else there, yet.
Q: Where are the rules?
A: They are not existent yet. Just please be a human.
Q: What's the point if there's AppleVis?
A: AppleVis was, and still is a great resource if it comes to stuff like APp directories, curated list of resources, podcasts ETC, however the forum features are suboptimal, especially for mobile usage. I have spoken to many people who are newcomers to the #Apple ecosystem and using the AppleVis website turned out to be harder than using their shiny new device itself.

Please keep in mind that the server is in a test stage, many things can happen, including channel deletions/additions, moderation appointments or server deletion in case there's no real interest. If you have any suggestions how could I improve it or if you would like to help me moderate, please reach out.
I kindly ask everyone to boost it to gauge interest. #accessibility #a11y #blind

National parks have a long way to go before they become fully accessible to people that use wheelchairs, scooters and walkers, but there are some adaptive hiking trails. Here are 10 of the best, including the Trail of Time in Grand Canyon National Park and Old Faithful Geyser Loop in Yellowstone, plus how to find info on wheelchair-accessible places in more than 400 parks.

There's a tonne of development energy going into #Lemmy at the moment. I might see if I can raise a PR to fix your issue later when I get to my laptop. Keep raising these issues! #Accessibility issues are difficult to see for people who don't need tools like screen readers, so its great when people who do make their voices heard.


I just launched a new site devoted to teaching how to create #TactileArt and #TactileGraphics using #SVG code. The focus is on #accessibility and opening up creativity to #blind and #low-vision folks who want to participate in building graphics, iterate on ideas, and use SVG for projects ready for embosser, swell-form, 3D print, and CriCut output. Come check it out! blindSVG.com


Mac users: Time to celebrate! #RemoteIncidentManager 3.2.0, the first official version for Mac OS, is now officially released!
We would like to thank all of the people who helped beta test this version of RIM and make it the best cross-platform remote support package it can be!

Probably disable Chrome auto-updating to 114 if you or anyone relies on JAWS 2019–2021:

Chrome / Chromium regressions are an #accessibility scourge. #a11y

[Edited to add Chromium.]


The “#a11y is not accessible” discussion wants to get back to the early 2010s.

It’s a signifier, for some users (for example who are dyslexic) it’s easier to type, you need some explanation, like any in-group language. Even accessibility needs explanation.

It’s not a big deal and the energy is better used elsewhere.

(Edit: LOL mistyped accessibility in the hashtag…)


In times when Reddit fades away, accessibility-wise, the dev of HackerNewt, a pretty new HackerNews iOS client has submitted their first #Accessibility patches. The work is not complete yet, but this is the best I've seen in a HN client so far with almost everything labelled. The proper grouping of items and rotor actions are still planned. Feel free to check it out: apps.apple.com/app/id644820197…. Feel free to join our discussion on the app's bug tracker, especially the point on the comment's section. I have a feeling this could be done like in Dystopia but the dev thinks otherwise. Any tips? github.com/devandsev/HackerNew…


One way to put an amazing new audio interface through its paces is to record a demo and review of it. So here you go, this is my take on the Audient Evo 16 and it’s brilliant #accessibility features.
