Testing your product for #accessibility yourself will *never* compare with testing with real users. This week we conducted 5 usability interviews with frequent screen reader users. Here are some things I observed: (a thread) 🧵👇

5. None of our interviewees use skip-to-content links. This surprised me, but the latest WebAIM screen reader survey does say: “It's important to note that "skip" links provide distinct benefits for sighted keyboard users, even if their usage among screen reader users is mixed”

This post goes into more detail about our usability testing with frequent screen reader users; the common patterns that stood out, and why they should matter to people involved in the web. #a11y #accessibility #userTesting jessbudd.com/blog/screen-re…

What a shame that High on Life would create such a beautiful and wild in-game universe, with stellar voice acting .... but next to no accessibility options. They have subtitle toggle, motion blur toggle, audio balancing. That is not even the bare minimum in 2022 #a11y

Aside from the issues with color blindness and verified badges that are only differentiated by color, the new “Twitter Blue for Business” badge is just a long mess of a URL with VoiceOver. Guess that’s what happens when you fire the @TwitterA11y team 🤷‍♂️ #accessibility #a11y
