For any blind users of the GoXLR audio interface or anyone considering one, we now have a much more accessible app that lets you configure and use the device thanks to the goXLR on Linux project.
github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxl…
To get this to work on Windows you need to have the official drivers installed and make sure that the official goXLR app isn't running. Some sections of the UI still need some #a11y work, but the mic setup, mixer and rooting pages are all working really well. #noxp

It's 2023 -- Please don't use an overlay if you care about web accessibility, disability inclusion, and a digital world that works for everyone. And please don't call me a "role model" and write about me on your website if you are using an overlay --like a company called Accessibility Checker did. Instead - read the Overlay Fact Sheet and spread the word. overlayfactsheet.com/ Happy New Year - let's get accessibility right in 2023!! #a11y #disability #TechEthics

In 1993 alt text was added to the HTML specification. Someone then posted an idea: A library where people could store and look up alt text for frequently used images. I've lost the post, and no one else that I can find has talked about it since.

I believe that the time is now, but I can no longer be who. As I announced yesterday, I am closing down the alt-text.org project, but others have expressed interest in carrying the project forward.

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

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?
