I'm a #frontend #developer and an #accessibility advocate, currently working at IBM. I love sharing what I know through my #blog, #teaching and #speaking at conferences.
I enjoy hiking, board games, escape rooms and playing the guitar/keyboard. Lately I've been diving deeper into #photography as well.
I prefer reading and writing less frequent but more substantial posts.

I'm in communication with a new Mastodonian who is looking for a "Mastodon app that is accessible to the blind" -- I've asked for clarification as to which platform but I think that any information posted might be helpful to *someone*.

(For those who don't know, screenreaders are used mainly by blind and partially-sighted people to read aloud what is on the screen. It's important for websites to be accessible so they can be navigated by screenreaders.)

#Blind #Accessibility question derived from conversation with @donkeyblam -
How do screen readers handle the letter thorn: þ ?
If the screen reader is set to Icelandic, I assume it processes it normally. What if the screen reader is set to English? I have seen people use a thorn to represent "th" in words. Can screen readers process this as a "th" sound even in English?
Thanks in advance for any help!
what are good mastodon clients to use for folks who need to use screen readers?

I have worked with W3C’s WAI in the past, including writing tutorials and helping redesign its website. Then I worked with Knowbility for some years in the US space and recently I have joined Axess Lab.
I also lecture as part of the Content Strategy course at FH Joanneum.
When I’m not working, I enjoy Lego, TV Series, podcasts (#TheIncomparable, #RelayFM), hiking and (very recently) riding my new e-bike.

It uses an intuitive system of shades to help you select colours which meet the appropriate WCAG contrast rating, even if you're mixing and matching base colours:

Please go and improve it, and share it with anyone who might need it!

It is supposed to help use Mastodon right now, by explaining useful features that Mastodon already has and showing workarounds for features it lacks. It's not meant to imply that improvements to Mastodon itself can't or shouldn't be made :thumbsup_paw:
Should it be expected at this point? Yes in most cases I think so. But reminding people that taking the time to do it is making a tangible positive impact, and causing others to see the social benefits at the same time is a great way to encourage people to do it more.
If you can't find many examples on your personal feed, just use the media only filter on your local and federated timelines; they shouldn't be too hard to find after that!
