Can you guess what I'm reading about from this nonsensical #screenReader output? I loaded the webpage myself and not even I understand. #accessibility

Hello #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired community!
I'm having trouble signing PDF documents with a digital certificate using my #screenreader (NVDA on Windows). I can do it in Adobe Reader but it's quite cumbersome and requires sighted assistance.
Does anyone have a more accessible workflow or software recommendation for signing PDFs with a digital certificate using the keyboard and a screen reader? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Could you please #Boost this so it reaches more people? Thank you in advance! #Accessibility #NVDA #PDF #DigitalSignature #AssistiveTechnology @NVAccess

To people who use #HomeAssistant, do you need #NodeRed to get the most out of it? Found this guide to setting up HomeAssistant in #Docker that helped me get both installed, but Node-Red's interface is pretty much unusable with a #ScreenReader, and I'm thinking of uninstalling it.

I'm thrilled to announce that I've been accepted as a student at #ColoradoChristianUniversityOnline! I'll be pursuing a B.S. in #ComputerScience. The school's class format seems much more manageable for me than other schools I've attended, and I'm feeling optimistic about this new chapter.

Now begins the challenging process of hunting for #scholarships. Unfortunately, I'm discovering just how inaccessible most scholarship websites are for screen reader users. If anyone knows of #accessible scholarship resources or platforms, I'd greatly appreciate your recommendations!

#Blind people who use #Matrix, particularly on #Windows, is #Element the most #accessible client? I've been getting into it because a lot of communities for #SelfHosted services use it, but I don't find Element the easiest to navigate, so I'm wondering if there are other options.

Having issues with #accessibility on #HamRadioPrep for #ios and the developers don't care. I'm using the #VoiceOver #ScreenReader and the app reads two choices for each answer as if they are shuffling the choices to prevent memorization of the letters. Example: A D all of these choices are correct. Also it doesn't tell me if the answer is correct when I tap on it. I work around this by utilizing the retake missed questions feature

So the primary thing I've learned from trying out the Ducky One #mechanical #keyboard is just how much lag my previous keyboards (a codekeyboard and a razer) were adding. I use a #screenreader, so I'm deeply aware of the audio lag from headphones and the audio subsystem, and configure things to reduce that as much as I can. I also knew bluetooth can introduce lag. But on picking up the Ducky...wow! A few ms can really matter! My system feels faster than it's ever felt before. Even if I wind up returning this, now I know that keyboard refresh rate is a thing I care about. Also, the inductive switches feel really nice and clicky to press, but are reasonably quiet for those around me.

Im Moment bin ich auf der Suche nach zwei Anwendungen, die mit #Screenreader funktionieren müssen.

1. Ein Programm, das mich schnell und zuverlässig mit kalendern via CalDAV arbeiten lässt
2. eine Anwendung, die Aufgaben bzw. TO-Dos schnell einfügen bzw. abhaken lässt.

Muss zwingend barrierefrei sein und unter Windows laufen.

Danke für jeden Hinweis! #UnplugTrump

An interesting remote job for Canadians with print disabilities & experience with #accessibility software. I've worked with someone in one of these positions on a past project and he was giving us feedback on how our documents worked in various screen readers and other devices. but it seems like there's a lot more to it.

I want to eventually share some of my blackwork embroidery designs on my website, which has got me wondering...

Are there any accessible, text-only notation methods for counted-stitch embroidery, like there are for knitting and crochet?

I have a lot of ideas for how I could approach it, like including both narrative and shorthand directions with an introductory description. But I don't want to re-invent the wheel!

Do capital letters matter in #AltText?

Spent a couple hours playing the visual novel Pizza Game. If you're the kind of person who finds bad My Immortal style #fanfic funny, this will work for you. It's fully #screenreader #accessible in the standard #renpy way, but also has descriptions of the visual jokes; the developer spent time thinking about #A11y, and it didn't just happen thanks to the engine. store.steampowered.com/app/710710/Pizza_Game/ #visualnovel

Adding meaningful alt-text is not only important for everyone using a screenreader and an essential #inclusion and #accessibility requirement. Alt-text is also searchable and used by filters. People who prefer to filter certain people and topics for mental health and other reasons can't filter memes or images without it. Please use alt-text and cw generously

Added bonus: with added alt-text you can find images in your own posts with "from:me" and people are more likely to boost your posts.

This is a fantastic overview of #ScreenReader testing wisdom. #Accessibility

Looking to switch from #MicrosoftEdge to #Firefox as my main browser! Fellow #Firefox users, especially in the #BlindTech community - what are your must-have extensions
and about:config tweaks for optimal performance?

I'm particularly interested in solutions for:
• Managing multiple tabs efficiently
• Keeping browser speed up while running #WebGames
• #Accessibility features and extensions

Previous Firefox versions got sluggish for me, but I'm ready to give it another try! Share your tips!

Wow... just sat as a volunteer examiner for a fully online #HamRadio test exam. The applicant was 100% #blind and using the JAWS #ScreenReader. It was amazing to watch (and hear the screen reader) as he navigated the test. He passed! Wonderful to have a new ham :) Hope to hear him on the air soon.

Ich habe ein Problem: Ich kann lange Texte nicht so gut lesen, werde es aber müssen aufgrund einer bevorstehenden Umschulung. Ich hatte die Idee, einen #Screenreader zu verwenden, um den Inhalt über mehrere Kanäle in mein Gehirn zu bekommen. Ich habe das #VoiceOver von #Apple ausprobiert und habe bis jetzt keine Einstellung gefunden, mit der das für mich funktioniert. Hat jemand Tipps zur Bedienung oder andere Programme?

Screenreader users: how does LaTeX work for you?

I'm planning to build some open educational resources in GitHub Markdown, which supports LaTeX.
