Nick Stevens GraphicsExpecting others to change behavior rarely delivers what you hope for.
Surely it should be an option in the screen reader to turn off describing emojis?
@Nick_Stevens_graphics does avoiding content make it more accessible?
Avoiding noise makes the underlying content more accessible.
@Nick_Stevens_graphics I understand your perspective, and I acknowledge you’re thinking of a solution, but I’m not sure it’s so trivial unfortunately. For instance, what is noise for me might not be noise for you.
@Aday
This is why I said it should be an OPTION, in the screen reader.
That way people can choose what works best for them.
@Nick_Stevens_graphics got it! Fair enough 🙂
