Hey all,

I have a friend who's been trying to get on Mastodon but tells me that it doesn't seem to play well with screen readers. I know there are plenty of people on the fedi who do use screen readers, but I have no experience with them myself, so I can't really direct him.

Can someone who does use a #ScreenReader point me in the direction of some resources that might be useful?

@me@social.jlamothe.net my friend @freya@chaosfem.tw uses a screen reader. Freya, do you have any advice on this?

@sodiboo @me it works perfectly well with screenreaders if you use the right client. Inafore is cross-platform and Tweesecake works well on windows

@me

I think @WeirdWriter would be a good expert on this? He's written a Fediverse guide for blind people at https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/5619/

Fediverse for writers/readers., Sightless Scribbles

A fabulously gay blind author.

@elettrona @me I turned on slow mode in the web interface (it's in Settings → Preferences → Appearance), because without it the focus kept changing.
