@LjWatson As I thought your disclosure widget worked fine with Dragon 13 (& IE). It should work the same with Chrome & FF as they all rely on extensions to provide the ARIA support.

@LjWatson I could say "Click Help with Nationality" and it would expand and then say the same again and it would collapse.

[shawn.henning] Slack claims to be working to resolve a11y issues according to the replies I get from my numerous feedback emails. They are aware of the issue, and I've explained how to do things like turn on Voice Over and the screen curtain to "see" the behavior I am reporting.

[shawn.henning] They fix major issues and seem to be trying to improve general a11y. I suspect it is hard to get it on the fix list.

What's this weekend?

Why do people hate on specs if they could just as easily be contributing?
MichielBijl
14:02
It's open… Join and help out if you don't like something about it!
MichielBijl
14:02
Seriously don't get it.
MichielBijl
14:03
Get in touch with the people that write them if you can't be arsed to file bugs.

Because they weren't in on it when it was decided upon and it's not how they want it now because it doesn't help with the project they're on
powrsurg
18:23
I find people are scared to just dive in to things and contribute, but hey, complaining is easy!

BTW, since it really bothered me that I didn't get to put something together all week for sharing here I stayed up til 3 putting this together (and worked around a bug in Android that I wasn't aware of and will need to add to work on monday)
getUserMedia + Web Speech API to produce live transcripts!
powrsurg
18:25
Currently only works in Chrome desktop, but it follows the spec
powrsurg
18:26
Chrome for Android apparently uses a different Web Speech mechanism so that's why it doesn't work tehre
garcialo
18:28
Neat. =)

Currently on my Android tablet, so can't check it out. =(
powrsurg
18:29
well, you can test out the playing and download feature ... but that's not the interesting part
powrsurg
18:29
I was really disappointed to find Android Chrome was using something different. I really wanted it to work there
powrsurg
18:32
Sorry I couldn't use jsfiddle or something like that for this. The recording needs a Web Worker and I can't get that in something like that without having cross-domain issues
powrsurg
18:43
I think either @MichielBijl or @LjWatson was looking for something related to that earlier this week
garcialo
18:56
finally got to my laptop; seems to work as well as the speech to text...which of course isn't perfect =p
garcialo
18:57
still cool =)

I'm finding the closeness and quality of the mic matters greatly
garcialo
19:16
Good point. Laptop mic wasn't doing that great.

When my webcam was still connected to my PC via USB, but was stuck behind my desk it sucked, but once I finally got it back on the desk it did a better job ...
