@craigabbott Great article. I also wonder how people think the cleanup for the clapping hands example would work in practice, especially for different situation. How do you make sure that a user is aware that the text has been fudged with?
And if screen reader vendors want to change “triangular flag on post” to “red triangular flag” or something, they can already do that by the magic of “programming”. 😂
@yatil yeah, it’s an interesting one for sure. I tried to think logically about how it might work in practice, and I could see it perhaps being useful if it was an optional command.
Like, if it reads out nonsense, then there was a shortcut key to switch to LLM mode or something. I could see that perhaps being better than nothing.
But, it still feels like it’s solving the wrong problem. The content should be accessible. The tool shouldn’t need to fudge it.
