"Dark mode can offer tangible accessibility benefits when implemented with care. For many users [...] a well-calibrated dark theme can reduce eye strain and provide a more comfortable reading experience."

I’m a heavy user of the Reduce white point option in iOS. Is there a way to set the percentage through Shortcuts? It’s possible to toggle it off and on, but I would like to set different scenarios.

I have a question for #a11y fedi, when you post a screenshot where only text is relevant ( for exemple a journal ) do you contextualise alt-text ?
( "Extract from N-Journal : TEXT" )
Or do you simply write the text ?

C’est bizarre que le critère 1.4.12 Text Spacing de WCAG soit si mal compris et que beaucoup de gens pensent que l’interlignage doit être égal à au moins 1,5 fois la taille de la police.

La page de l’Understanding est tout de même très claire à ce sujet. https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/text-spacing.html

Sans doute une confusion avec le critère 1.4.8 Visual Presentation qui est de niveau AAA (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#visual-presentation).

As impressed as I am at what the likes of Be My AI and Envision Ally can do, it's still really really bad at some things. I tried using them to get an understanding of the buttons and nobs on the front of the slow cooker I recently acquired. Five attempts gave me five different answers as to what each of the buttons are. #Accessibility #A11y

Es gibt nun übrigens von der Spracherkennungsengine Whisper eine VST-Plugin-Version, die ein pfiffiger Nerd in der Reaper-Community gebaut hat.

Ich bin grad dabei mit Feature-Requests ein paar nice Erweiterungen dafür zu bekommen.

Wenn die kommen, ist nicht nur Transkription in @ultraschall möglich, sondern auch theroretisch Voice Control von Ultraschall möglich.

Podcastproduktion und Schnitt per Voice Commands wäre echt nice als #Accessibilityfeature...

Does anyone know where to report #a11y issues with the #Ubuntu Mate installer? I just tried to install ubuntu-mate-25.04 and sadly, it's pretty much a no go with Orca. Alt+Windows+S works to bring up the screen reader. The first screen of the installer appears to be the language selection screen; but after that, Orca is pretty much dead in the water, utterly unable to read anything else except "next" buttons. Pretty sad. Looks like they're not a11y testing this at all.
