Je découvre, un peu surpris, que le point médian est mal transcrit par les lecteurs de texte (notamment grâce à des posts linkedin qui remontent les travaux de @juliemoynat )

En poussant mes recherches je tombe sur “le point d’hyphénation” qui serait plus lisible par les logiciels de synthèse vocale que le point médian (puisqu’ignoré par lesdits lecteurs)

le caractère ressemble TRÈS fortement au point que j’appelais médian généré par le shortcut Cmd + Maj + F sur mon mac : · et pourtant ça n’est bel et bien pas un point médian (U+00B7) mais donc un point d’hyphénation (U+2027).

Du coup j’aimerais bien trouver le raccourci clavier pour ce point, s’il est mieux !

This is good technological progress 😊

“Apple today announced new accessibility features coming later this year, including Eye Tracking, a way for users with physical disabilities to control iPad or iPhone with their eyes. Additionally, Music Haptics will offer a new way for users who are deaf or hard of hearing to experience music using the Taptic Engine in iPhone”

Question to , , & folks:

How do you feel about duplicate links in articles, blogs, whatever? Meaning: A certain word is a link (let's say "HEALTH") leading to an external website.

Would it annoy you if this word was always a link and it's mentioned for example 20 times in an article? Or would you rather have it only once to make it easier to scan for links?

Is there a related success criteria?

Hey #a11y friends - when do you recommend use of a roving tab index? When do you say proceed with caution, and when is definitely not appropriate?

Having some discussions where the sentiment from others is it can be "an accelerator" for getting though a "collection" but I'm not finding evidence for that recommendation vs allowing normal tab behavior outside of tabs or custom radio-type groups.

(Not so secretly hoping this nerd-snipes some of you into a blog post 👀)

I got name-checked in Jessica Weber’s 2024 Legal Update! It was for ’s SLAPP suit.

Got to lunch very late because people wanted to ask me questions, but not in front of the AudioEye executive who was in the room.

Hopefully this will have good results for and as a side effect do away with shitty paywall tricks that block access by screen readers and non-javascript browsers.

pas énormément de pros de santé dessus (inscription volontaire si j'ai bien compris) mais quand il y une fiche elle est bien détaillée.
possibilité de filtrer par profession et aussi par type de handicap (y compris obésité)

I added a note to https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/27731#issuecomment-2110368941, thanks @shlee for posting the screenshot there.

Something that I myself missed when I opened the original ticket is that alt text really should be on the same level of importance as the content of the post itself.
