I would prefer to be able to install the distro myself without sighted assistance, just like I can with #Debian and #Arch Linux using only a refreshable braille display. I have no speech recognition so I am unable to hear Orca speak.

Thanks Microsoft, I hate it. I wish I could be like all the sighted techies out there that can just pop in a flash drive with Fedora Linux on it, set it up, and not even have to learn that much of a new interface and how to do things. Or one of the less techie people out there that open up a MacBook and click the Internet icon and when you ask them how it is they strug and go "Well I mean it's just a computer."

Someone asks for the link; they make some outlandish claim about not being able to see the code to scan it on their phone.
They get told to go look through all of the documentation, to find the 40 row table that has the link “somewhere on the right side”.
Now that's what I call #accessibility #inclusion

For example, the Mac uses object navigation for everything within VoiceOver. Everything is an object, and you navigate mostly with the VoiceOver keys and sometimes you can get away with using Tab. On Windows, you primarily use Windows navigation commands, with Windows screen readers speaking any needed info. The Mac, to me, is great at writing, and email, because because it has good writing apps, and a good mail client built in. Windows is great for web navigation and games, and writing if you like Microsoft Word. The ChromeBook is good for Android apps and Linux kinda and that’s about it for me. Everything else, web, Windows can do a bit better.

Great video from Vox..the bottom line:
* audio is engineered for huge theaters, not out typical devices
* standard speakers on phones and modern TVs are terrible
* actors don't do audio like they did in the "good old days".
... And you should still absolutely do captions for accessibility.

I'm currently leaning towards making it a radio button group, but I feel like that might also require the toggle not to take effect until a form is submitted?

Anyone hear if accessibility personnel have been part of these mass tech layoffs? Only one I’ve heard was the Twitter team of course.
For those unfamiliar with Switch Control, I recommend watching this video from Todd Stabelfeldt explaining how he uses it at WWDC 2017. I was lucky enough to be there in the audience! I actually recommend watching the whole talk!

The students were to pass the test by connecting their computers with an Ethernet cable to the examination machine running a special OS, presumably a fork of Debian. The test was taken by tunneling into the examination machine through the web browser and handling the exam in an accessible HTML from there.
Sadly, the audio recordings for the listening part do not seem to be available. Pity, as they reference Whatsapp voice messages. Would be fun to check for their authenticity based on the sound quality.
On that note: Do language exams in your countries reference modern communication methods or is it still a telephone? When I took my final in German, "Social media: pros and cons" was just a subject of the mini essay I had to put together as part of the writing assignment.
