  NVDA is 20 this year. Michael Curran and James Teh started it in 2006, two blind developers in Australia building a free screen reader because paid ones cost more than most people in their countries could afford. Twenty years later it runs on millions of computers, in dozens of languages, often on machines that nothing else would run on. "All blind and vision-impaired people deserve these rights and opportunities, no matter the language they speak, their geographic location, economic statu...

  @FreakyFwoof @SeveraSnape I find a huge mega hp fanfiction collection shared on the r/HPfanfiction sub. Just sharing in ccase you need it. this is the post description. Basically, some dude went above and beyond and archived HP fic from not only popular fansites (ao3, ffn, HPFF) but smaller ones like checkmated, angelfire, gryffindor tower- and even more specific/smaller ones like grangerenchanted. From what I can see, they archived fics going back to the late 90s judging by the sites listed. Th...

  One handed keyboard manifesto Full of Keyboard Commands, So Many of Them, and It Breaks My heart In the screen-reading space, we have come a long way in information representation. We know earcons; we are good at implementing various voice profiles and sound profiles for events and attributes. But it's worrying me a bit that we may be going backwards, and I don't just mean navigational systems, I mean how features reach us in general. Complexity is not the problem. The missing alternat...

  This is a very important #accessibility gap that's not very much addressed in the #blind community. To start, we definitely need a one-handed input mode or keyboard layout in the #NVDA screen reader to account for people who are blind that can only use one hand. I guess JAWS has a sticky insert mode, but not a full-fleshed one-handed keyboard layout. @NVAccess https://mstdn.social/@brandtsteenkamp/113890778425254743

  Thanks folks, Issue closed, completed, fix should arrive tomorrow. Let's give more thumbsUps to this accessibility related issue with claude code https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/36765 "Dear all, If you have tried Claude Code, you may have noticed that it does not use the native cursor of the terminal but a self-drawn cursor that screen readers cannot easily track. The consequence is that you see your cursor stuck at the bottom of the screen while you are typing a pro...

  The Glitch-soc fork is cool but need some accessibility enhancements. One of them is a setting to either show remaining character limit or type charactre count on the edit box, or even both. this enhancement will be particularly helpful for instances that have higher character limit, and people often struggle to do the math to know how much they have typed. and it'd be nice to have the quote post outside the more dialog. also, number system to navigate to various sections of mastodon e.g. ho...
