Fürs handsfree Studium such ich ne App, die mir pdf vorliest. Und zwar so, dass ich keine akustische Vollkrise bekomme und nicht meine Inhalte an eine BigTech-Firma weitergebe.
Ich habe SherpaTTS gefunden, aber mit welchem Programm nutze ich das auf dem Handy? Oder was gibt es als Alternative für Linux-PC/Firefox?
(an dieser Stelle: #barrierefreiheit sollte generell voran gebracht werden!)
How do you make a #introduction sound exciting? Don't let @tired_and_wired (Luna) write it.
This account was created by Luna, who had the brilliant idea when spamming her own profile with dog picks and a few memes herself. This idea was inspired by an existing group on Facebook Follow us for described image content, more specifically memes, jokes and the occasional terrible motivational quote. #ScreenReader users never fear, our images will come with #AltText because there's nothing worse than hearing "No Image Description!"
Given this is now released, I'm happy to report that the third-party control client for the Elgato Streamdeck, called OpenDeck, is now a lot more accessible for #screenReader and keyboard-only users.
These devices have always had a huge #accessibility barrier in that the only way to assign an action to a key was through a drag-and-drop interface. Elgato has been notified about this, but proved ... let's say ... less than ehtusiastic to fix it. So, I did.
While I can't claim 100% accessibility, primarily because that isn't a thing, I can say I made sure everything I could find was labeled, and that there's now a keyboard-only way of associating buttons, knobs, and touch controls with actions, something the official client does not, and probably will not, support.
I'll be making a video on the ViewpointUnseen youtube channel with all the details soon.
Let my add this #id Image description for #ScreenReader using people:
Three photos of destroyed or burning cars.
Text above the photos:
"The mass human safari in Ukraine goes on – in full view of the world.
The streets of Kherson and Nikopol have become a target range for russian terrorists.
Three civilian cars have already been attacked today in Kherson.
One dead. Several more wounded."
