I want to make a rentry about screenreader accessibility!!

Why do you use a screenreader? Is it due to a disability?

What are common inaccessibility issues you come across?

What information would you like to see in an informational rentry or carrd about screenreaders, plaintext, and image descriptions?

Feel free to link to resources in your reblog for a resource masterlist as well!

we never rant about endo syscourse but we are today. rant more targeted towards the other things

NOT ABLEIST:

- telling “non disordered” plurals that they’re not the same as pw osdid

- anything toward “endos” or “non-traumagenic” (because if its not a disorder, it cant be ableist)

- having a name in a non-latin alphabet

ABLEIST:

- refusing to change names that break screenreaders/ make the screenreader read out a ridiculous number symbol names

- using a ridiculous amount of fonts and symbols instead of plaintext

- Endos trying to say theyre the same as pw osdid

- endos harassing and purposefully triggering pw osdid

I promise its not a big deal if you have to use plaintext instead of weird symbols to make them look like letters. nobody cares that much.

please for the love of god stop censoring ur DNIs or trigger warnings with numbers n weird characters it is literally hell for screenreader users to listen to

a lil' lesson:

do: tw: bad thing

don't: tw‼️‼️‼️//// ɓ4ď tĥ1ñĝ

bc this is what it sounds like:

censoring trigger warnings also exposes it to people who have muted the word, so they'll be seeing the content anyway

[ID one: The words "Image desc" (short for image description) in a fiery red. /end ID]

[ID two: The words. "Using screen reader." The dot in the “I ” replaced with a star. The “A” in the word “reader” replaced with a star. In a color gradient fading (top to bottom) from purple to magenta. /end ID]

[ID three: The words. "Using screen reader." The dot in the “I” replaced with a star. In a color gradient fading (top to bottom) from purple to magenta. /end ID]

we use a screen reader fairly often cus we struggle to read and have worsening vision- meanwhile the non-existence of alt text on images / image IDs is depressing as fuck

not to mention the amount of people who use alt text as a joke, completely exclusing groups of people
