menelion, to accessibility

Hi #accessibility specialists! Do you have in mind an article about HTML email accessibility best practices? I was almost sure @aardrian wrote something about it but couldn't find it straight away. It's for a friend :) Thanks!

@jscholes @aardrian That I know :) I even suggested him not to overuse too many nested tables and provide a plain-text version of the email. but people like reading or watching something, that's why I'm asking.

Do we really need a YouTube downloader as an NVDA add on when YT-DLP works far better?

@zersiax @weirdwriter I'm sorry, but those things are totally outside of what a screen reader is for. I'm thinking about making a simple GUI app that would work with YouTube, but, to be honest, I don't want to spend the time for a free app and totally am not sure whether someone would buy such a thing :)

Maybe this makes me lazy, but if I hear, the app works quite well with voiceover, but there are a few areas where you will have to use screen recognition, I’m likely to look for another app. Screen recognition has always been a bit buggy and laggy for me.

@technocounselor Definitely. I'm even harsher there: screen recognition is not suitable for use in apps. It's not even a crutch, it's a self-made wooden leg that people used in the times when there were no modern prostheses.
