Folks using screen readers: How annoying is it to come across posts with a lot of emojis? I know those that use the clapping hands every other word are ones to avoid boosting, but what about someone who just adds five or so emojis in a row? Or scatters them throughout the post? How many is too many?

I often see posts I'd like to boost, but the many emojis makes me hesitate.

Not sure if this is a stretch, but has anyone managed to get automated #captions (or CART) and shareable live #transcriptions working with the public #Jitsi Meet instance, even via a third-party app?

https://meet.jit.si

I'm not interested in self-hosting, and I'm open to paid solutions. I know that there are some services that offer a bot that you can invite into your meeting to transcribe, but the ones I've tried don't work with Jitsi (Iist in 🧵)

I've already written to these folks, but other #Linux people should know this. Having a separate, accessible, link to a tool that will help you choose a distro isn't accessible. The tool should be fully accessible by default. Can other accessibility folks point this out to them too? Oh and also, the link isn't visible to screen magnifier users, I am told, so the direct link to the accessible mode is https://distrochooser.de/?vim=true#Accessibility#A11y

Hat hier jemand Erfahrung mit Dynamischen Alerts in HTML/Javascript und Screenreadern? Soweit ich das verstehe sollte der Bereich mit role=alert ja bereits leer existieren damit dann sich ändernder Inhalt vom Browser announced wird. Reicht es diese section beim initialen laden mit JS anzulegen oder sollte die wirklich schon im Serverseitig erstellten html stehen? #accessibility #a11y #web

Do people have opinions on dynamic "flash" notification things on web pages, where you get a little warning/info/etc box at the top of the page somewhere that you have to click to dismiss? Especially as far as #UX / #a11y #accessibility?

I have this as part of #Elixir#Phoenix but I'm thinking of throwing it in the trash.

About finished implementing org.fd.a11y.KeyboardMonitor in niri, necessary for correct screen reader function:

https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/pull/2060

I tested it with Orca more or less, seems to work, but I'm very new to screen reader workings, so it's possible I've missed something.

This makes Orca announce keys everywhere in niri, and makes grabs work (both modifier with double-press passthrough and keystrokes). Making Orca actually say niri dialogs will be a separate effort.

Would be nice to have a way to automatically save the text one takes a screenshot of into the metadata of the screenshot.

First I thought of running it trough Frog or some other OCR – but then I remembered that the text is right there… It should just be copied in some way, right?

Is there an alt text metadata field in png, btw, that can be accessed by websites asking for alt text?
