No mention of #accessibility in the announcement, so I guess none expected?

Anyway, get ahead of this, folks. We’re going back to 1999!

Fantastic article from @SaraSoueidan examining CSS Carousels implemented with the new features in CSS Overflow 5, and the depressingly-numerous (yet entirely unsurprising) accessibility issues they present.

Along the way, she deftly explains the core concepts of accessible semantics and screen reader testing, so the article is understandable even if you have no prior knowledge of those things.

I've started using Voice Control occasionally in day to day life. One thing I couldn't figure out was how to send a message when it *and* voice dictation were active without the command being dictated.

Instead of turning on dictation by saying 48 (to tap the dictation button) what I should have been doing was say "dictation mode”, speak my message, and then say “command mode” to properly get out of dictating.

Then I can have Voice Control send the message.

What are people using for accessibility plugins on WordPress sites these days? While I try to make my themes as accessible as possible, I know I'm missing things. And due to the nature of this client, having an accessibility plugin is definitely a good thing to have. 1/x

Soon, there will be a new update for my accessible gui-library ReaGirl for #Reaper.

In it, I added toolbar-buttons and level-meter-ui- elements and tried to make them as accessible as possible.

With that, we can create accessible toolbars in @ultraschall, which makes Reaper a little more accessible.

More and more bits and pieces for #Ultraschall 6 come together :D
