  2. [caesar] Wow, this article is awesome. Contains gems like "Have you yourself been disabled before btw? If not, skiing is one of the most enjoyable ways of entering into this aspect of the human condition."
  3. [caesar] Also: "Perhaps the strongest evidence of the Paralympics’ disagreeable motivations is the fact that wheelchair basketball is seen as the disabled version of basketball and not vice versa. Basketball was invented for “ordinary” people and it’s just not normal for someone to be born so tall that they can defeat the whole premise of the sport, by jumping up and enthusiastically placing the ball in the net."
  4. [caesar] Made me LOL

    [jbuller] A colleague is designing a feature that includes a ‘Add another button’. The button is below where the new section will appear. Its not just a case of incrementing a number. What techniques can people suggest to aid users to know this will/has happened? I’m thing of interactions other than ARIA Live, for magnification users and other impairments.

    [tink] The immediate question is why the button is below the content that will apear?

    [ricky_haror] We produce educational video content. These videos include tables, math, charts. Does anyone know of any services that could provide audio descriptions for these types of videos?
  10. [dickson] @jhetrick voiceover must ignore it then. NVDA detects its presence and pauses whenever it encounters the hyphens, which are also placed often inside words.

    [mtribone] @ricky_haror At Penn State, we use 3Play Media quite a bit. There are 2 other vendors listed on the Accessibility site: http://accessibility.psu.edu/video/captionvendors/

    [ian] hi all! i'm running into a curious issue on iOS voiceover where i'm effectively updating the innerHTML of an h1 as i move around pages (react SPA), but only iOS voiceover is continuing to call out the text as whatever it was initially set as

  15. [ian] e.g.:
    page 1 title is "Sign In to Your Account"
    page 2 title is "Sign Up for a New Account"

    user lands on page 1, title is called out correctly
    user uses a link to move to page 2, html is updated, voiceover continues to read it out as page 1's title

  16. [ian] anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? markup is: 
    <h1 data-it="AppHeader" class="AppHeader dynamic-login-color-component" tabindex="-1">   <span>Sign in to your&nbsp;account.</span> </h1>
