When chatting, it can take a while to get to the edit field by tabbing if there are many links on the chat room.
There's one quick way with #NVDA, which is going into focus mode with NVDA+space and typing any letter, but then when you come back to read the chat you will need to go back to browse mode.
However, if you press delete (not backspace) while reading the chat, focus will immediately move to the edit field.
Screenreader software used by blind or partially-sighted people interprets capital letters as the beginning of a word.
This means that a phrase written as "FiNe PEopLe oN BoTh siDeS" will sound like gibberish.
If accessibility matters to you, try to avoid doing this.

I live in The Netherlands, Europe. I work as a self-employed tech consultant & software developer. I like to tinker & have way too many interests :)

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!

Follow the bot @PleaseCaption
It will follow you and remind you in each case automatically (a few seconds later) with this PM:
"Please remember to caption your media. It makes Mastodon more accessible!
Not too late to delete and re-draft."
That seems to be the only way to add captions to your media afterwards.

Time for one of these again, I guess.

Accessibility in Fedora Workstation
One area we realized we hadn't given so much focus recently was around technologies that allowed people with various disabilities to make use of our software.Christian Fredrik Schaller (Fedora Magazine)
When I’m feeling a bit better (hopefully later this week, still taking it easy as I recover from COVID), I’m going to put up the recording we did with @gabek (hope you’re feeling better too, btw… also COVID) where we go into this in the context of small web.

Doing it the "good" way also respects boost visibility settings! (did you know you can hide boosts from your home feed? it's behind the "show settings" button on the home feed column!)

I prefer reading and writing less frequent but more substantial posts.

#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!
