What a shame that High on Life would create such a beautiful and wild in-game universe, with stellar voice acting .... but next to no accessibility options. They have subtitle toggle, motion blur toggle, audio balancing. That is not even the bare minimum in 2022 #a11y
Aside from the issues with color blindness and verified badges that are only differentiated by color, the new “Twitter Blue for Business” badge is just a long mess of a URL with VoiceOver. Guess that’s what happens when you fire the @TwitterA11y team 🤷♂️ #accessibility #a11y
really important #a11y thing to consider:
People often think of assistive tech users as "screen reader" OR "screen magnifier" users as if it has to be only one. But I, along with many others use multiple features at different times and use different combinations depending on circumstances and eye health. 🧵 #a11y (1/11)

This post goes into more detail about our usability testing with frequent screen reader users; the common patterns that stood out, and why they should matter to people involved in the web. #a11y #accessibility #userTesting jessbudd.com/blog/screen-re…
5. None of our interviewees use skip-to-content links. This surprised me, but the latest @webaim screen reader survey does say: “It's important to note that "skip" links provide distinct benefits for sighted keyboard users, even if their usage among screen reader users is mixed”
another interesting insight...
4. Interviewees often searched for specific pages by typing the first letter of the word they expected the link to start with into the list of links eg "p" for "pricing", "c" for "contact us" Having fun with your link text ("Get in touch!") may be on brand, but not be helpful
this is interesting ... #a11y
3. The logo every site has in their nav linking to the homepage? Interviewees looked for (and expected) it to be announced "Home", *not* the name of our org. Reminder that the alt text of images that are the only content in a link should describe the *function* of the link!
Testing your product for #accessibility yourself will *never* compare with testing with real users. This week we conducted 5 usability interviews with frequent screen reader users. Here are some things I observed: (a thread) 🧵👇
