Sound cues are important. A huge frustration I have is my fridge having only one touch button that cycles through 3 options and the same sound for each one. I never know which setting it's on-- cubed ice? water? crushed? Just ONE difference would be super helpful. nimerblogs.blogspot.com/2025/0…

With agentic AI contributing to the AI hype-cycle, I've been giving it some thought from the point of view of a disabled person, and also as an accessibility specialist who's already witnessing the arrival of the agentic web first-hand: tetralogical.com/blog/2025/08/…
Imagine being in a department store that sells clothes from multiple brands and having a personal shopping assistant to help you select the clothes you want to buy.
🆕 blog! “How long does it take to upgrade an eBook?”
The older I get, the more comfortable I become with complaining. Not merely moaning on social media, but writing a direct email to the perpetrator of some annoyance.
I'd purchased an eBook and was appalled by how crappy the accessibility was. If you don't know, modern ePub books are just HTML…
Trotz prekärer Finanzlage organisierte die Gnome Stiftung ein Entwicklerinnen- und Entwicklertreffen in Italien, um über die Zukunft des Projektes zu beraten.
What's striking about accessibility is its binary impact on brand perception. Companies that ignore accessibility are increasingly perceived as "evil" - as deliberately excluding people with disabilities...
Learn how to advocate for accessibility, drive change without authority, and connect inclusive design to business impact, with practical tips, strategies, and real-world examples.
As a developer, I try to make my software as accessible as possible for everyone. Unfortunately, I often lack a view from the user's perspective. I received a list from @dankeck with at least 10 suggestions for improvements, most of which I implemented in one night as if in a fever dream. The game is probably still a long way from being a screen reader user's dream, but I'm doing my best. Step by step! #webdev #a11y
as the debate about "if there are no gaps, then the video *can't* have any audio description, so it *passes* 1.2.3 and 1.2.5 automatically without needing to do anything at all" rages on, I made a little illustrative video ... youtube.com/watch?v=nZjWBjN1YF… #a11y #accessibility #barrierefreiheit
To illustrate the point/focus the discussion on https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/4460 here's an example video that, to my mind, clearly should FAIL...
Unless you only translate never-hidden content, your `aria-label`s never change, your content is an arbitrary subset of maybe only a dozen languages, and it never has a `<code>` element.
As of my 25 July 2025 update at the end of this post, aria-label auto-translation support is less spotty than when I first wrote this post, but still unreliable. It does, actually. Sometimes.
By Lē Silveus — When we talk about accessibility, most engineers think of screen readers, alt text, and color contrast. These are essential, but they’re only part of the picture. Digital spaces mus…
More blind cubers?! YES PLEASE! I just bought the new book that is a guide on how to solve the Rubik's cube that is TEXT based. I am beyond excited!!! My current time using beginner method is under 5 minutes solving completely non-visually. I need to learn more algorithms & methods! tactilecuber.com/
After two weeks of writing, revising, and trying to make everything as digestible as possible, I finally published "GNOME Calendar: A New Era of Accessibility Achieved in 90 Days", where I explain in detail the steps we took to turn GNOME Calendar from an app that was literally unusable with a keyboard and screen reader to an app that is (finally) accessible to keyboard and screen reader users as of GNOME 49!
There is no calendaring app that I love more than GNOME Calendar. The design is slick, it works extremely well, it is touchpad friendly, and best of all, the community around it is just full of wonderful developers, designers, and contributors worth …

I am not going to dive into the details of and . Go read Scott’s 2019 post How do you figure? for an overview. That said, since Scott’s post there has been movement on the AAPI mapping (partly by Scott).

"Understanding any new legislation can be challenging. The nature of the European Accessibility Act as a directive and its wide scope can make it particularly difficult to fully understand."
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) came into effect on 28 June 2025. Many of our customers have asked what impact that may have on the digital services they offer.

I can’t actually assert the ARTY overlay will result in a lawsuit, though there is a trend of overlays attracting lawsuits. Attorneys say overlays don’t protect from lawsuits, either.
