We've had great feedback on our recent In-Process article on creating portable copies of NVDA. A lot of people use them for testing out beta's of new versions, particularly 2024.1. Have you been trying the 2024.1 betas, and do you use a portable version to do it? If you'd like to find out more, check out our article here: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-9…

So, Envision is doing this survey. It says to choose my country. I can't type U N to search ahead to United States. I can't hit the End key to move any nearer to it. So I closed the tab. I do *not* have time for AT companies that can't test any outgoing communications, or media, or surveys, or whatever, for accessibility.

I wrote an article about how to make hastags accessible. Did some #ScreenReader testing with #JAWS, #NVDA, #VoiceOver and #Narrator, which was fun!
Pretty long one though, contains a bunch of tables for comparison. Enjoy the ride!

I hope #accessibility folks here are signed up for Axe-con, Feb 20-22nd. I’m regularly impressed with the high caliber accessibility talks which are available to everyone for free. Deque’s axe is integrated into so many accessibility tools in 2024, and is playing such a critical role in evaluating against many WCAG 2.2 issues.
If you haven’t already, consider signing up:

There are amazing speakers. It’s free and also allows you to view many of the talks afterward.
Sign up for axe-con for free! Simply complete this form and we'll send you access to the live virtual event in February 2024.axe-con

Let’s remember #AudioEye is a bully:
adrianroselli.com/2022/04/my-c…
Its #overlay (still) does not work:
adrianroselli.com/2023/02/audi…
It SLAPPs critics (I am not the only one):

…and in the end harms users and #accessibility industry as a whole:

Throwing investor money at a clear PR ploy is not a fix (didn’t help #accessiBe). If anything, it highlights the scam.
Reputation washing works both ways. I feel bad for its new CAO who likely had good intentions.

Hi #accessibility mastodon,
I’ve been building a #fediverse web app, “PieFed”, for the last few months and recently put a bit of effort into making it more accessible. It is almost WCAG 2.1 AA compliant now.
However I have no lived experience of using the web with disability so any feedback in this area is most welcome. Please give it a try at piefed.social and let me know what you think, from an accessibility perspective.
