Hi Fediverse! I'm Eduard, an accessibility consultant and C++ developer. I've just opened the beta of Tagafolio, a tool that checks PDFs for accessibility (PDF/UA and WCAG) and helps fix them. It runs entirely in your browser, using WebAssembly. Your documents are never uploaded anywhere. Try it: https://tagafolio.com It's a beta, so feedback is gold, especially from screen reader users. #Introduction #A11y #Accessibility #PDF #PDFUA

People who use assistive technologies, such as a screenreader or speech-recognition software, need to know the names of interactive elements on the web. Otherwise they may not be able to recognise the thing they’re dealing with, and so be unable to interact with it. Which means we, as authors, need to give things meaningful accessible names. How does this happen? #a11y #accessibility

UPDATE: I left WordPress today. This unstable situation has destroyed me. Damn to them. I'm leaving WordPress platform very, very soon. Mullenweg must give clear, transparent answers on what he wants, because we are thousand of people with disability, left behind.

Hi, I'm Jakub. I run AriaWorks from Poland. I audit websites and apps against WCAG 2.2, and I run hands-on training for dev, QA and design teams. I also do remediation support. Here I'll post testing notes and findings from accessibility world: forced colours, focus management, screen reader quirks, and the code that fixes them. Now and then something on the EAA and how Poland implements it. #introduction #a11y #Accessibility #WebDev #CSS

New post: Google still can't make an accessibility menu accessible. Put more than one service on Android's accessibility shortcut and holding the volume keys brings up a menu with no speech, at the exact moment no screen reader is running. Apple and Microsoft solved this years ago. I fixed it in ten minutes at one in the morning. Google has had years. https://fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/google-still-cant-make-an-accessibility-menu-accessible/ #Accessibility #A11y #Android #TalkBack #Blind #ScreenReader #Google
