Lanie Carmelo<p><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/BlindTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlindTech</span></a> friends, especially <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/WindowsUsers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowsUsers</span></a>, I need to vent and ask if you've had similar experiences! 😓</p><p>I just had a maddening interaction with the WinCam screen recording app. Here's what happened:</p><p>1. Opened WinCam settings<br>2. Started tabbing through options<br>3. Didn't realize I was on the hotkeys tab<br>4. Suddenly, my <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/ScreenReader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScreenReader</span></a> got stuck in an edit box for assigning a shortcut to start recording<br>5. Nothing would get me out - not even using my mini touchscreen display<br>6. I tried using the JAWS Touch Cursor shortcut and even the special app keys on my wireless keyboard, but WinCam just assigned them as new shortcuts!<br>7. Finally had to use a wireless mouse, moving and clicking randomly until I escaped the edit box</p><p>This lack of keyboard accessibility in that specific area is infuriating! Interestingly, other than this issue, the WinCam app is very accessible overall.</p><p>Have any of you encountered similar "keyboard traps" or accessibility issues in any software, not just recording apps? How did you handle it?</p><p>What strategies do you use when you get stuck in an inaccessible part of an application? Any clever workarounds or tools you've found helpful?</p><p>Also, I'm curious: Can anyone recommend other accessible screen recording apps for Windows? I bought a WinCam license for usability testing, thinking it was the most accessible option, but I'd love to know if there are other good choices out there.</p><p>I'm particularly interested in hearing from other Windows users, but all experiences are welcome. Let's share our knowledge and maybe help developers understand our needs better!</p><p><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/AssistiveTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AssistiveTech</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/BlindProgrammer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlindProgrammer</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/SoftwareAccessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareAccessibility</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/KeyboardNavigation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KeyboardNavigation</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/UserExperience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserExperience</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>a11y</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/VisuallyImpaired" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VisuallyImpaired</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/AdaptiveTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdaptiveTechnology</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/InclusiveDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InclusiveDesign</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/DigitalAccessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalAccessibility</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/AssistiveSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AssistiveSoftware</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/BlindnessAwareness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlindnessAwareness</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/AccessibleSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AccessibleSoftware</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/KeyboardTraps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KeyboardTraps</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/ScreenRecording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScreenRecording</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/UsabilityTesting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UsabilityTesting</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/JAWS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JAWS</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/ScreenReaderChallenges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScreenReaderChallenges</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/mastoblind" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>mastoblind</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://rblind.com/c/main" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>main</span></a></span></p>
