Okay, I believe I have found a temporary workaround to the issue with using the Delta Chat voice message recording interface issue I reported yesterday. Basically, use the Voice Memos app to record the audio, then attach it as a file to your chat and send it off. It’s not ideal, and the issue I mentioned should definitely be fixed, but Delta Chat on iOS doesn’t actually crash, it just temporarily breaks VoiceOver in the voice message recording interface. You can use the usual swipe up gesture from the bottom of your screen to close Delta Chat and VoiceOver works normally. Figured I’d update everyone on what I discovered. @delta should know about this, as I added a comment to the GitHub issue I submitted yesterday explaining the same thing. #A11Y #Accessibility #VoiceOver #iOS #BugReport #DeltaChat
I had a nightmare the other night. I dreamt that someone told me we don’t use alt tags for screen readers any more, that there was something new … but nobody would tell me what I could use now.
Randomly installed AltStore PAL on my iPhone to try. Way easier than I though! A real third party iOS app store feels so weird but also so normal at the same time
@altstore is now in the fediverse BTW!
@Techaltar @altstore A question about AltStore: is it VoiceOver optimized? You know what VoiceOver is, right? It's the assistive tech for blind users, embedded on iOS; settings -> accessibility -> voiceover.
You should verify this. Otherwise you cut many Apple customers (like me) who have the rights to explore alternatives as well as sighted folks. #blind #accessibility #voiceover

Link at end, but If any voice actors wanna build up their portfolio, I'd love to make more of my later blog posts into audio! I already have a narrator recording, On the Architectural Hostility of Doorknobs, but I am unable to pay for future audio for a while, but I'd still want my podcast to get some love too! If you can record pro bono, get in touch! I'd be happy to provide a link to your resume, let you record an intro or outro saying you're always looking to narrate, anything! https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/#VoiceOver#Actor#Act#Narrator#Podcast#Podcasts
