Access Wizard Episode 9. Accessibility. Back to basics. Keyboard access, shortcuts and verbosity.

Access Wizard — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 23:33:16 +0000

As mentioned in the last episode we’re revisiting OSX accessibility. We’re joined by jamieTeh of NV Access (a truly professional accessibility hero and tuff like dat and da whole big ting).

It is not just about VoiceOver this time. Its about efficient user interfaces. Some very basic concepts such as:

• Keyboard access

• Keyboard shortcuts

Followed by a bit of good old VoiceOver stuff like:

• Verbosity

As always listen to find out more.

Sincerely,

Yours truly

Speaking of efficiency and keyboard access and tuff like dat you might want to check out this old article by Apple. It hasn’t been updated in a while. In fact implementation of full keyboard access hasn’t been updated in a while. Moreover the so-called full keyboard access gives no access to sidebars and contextual menus. **hint: accessibility@apple.com is awaiting your positive and professional feedback.

Access Wizard: Special Episode. 2012. World Perspective.

Access Wizard — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 00:16:58 +0000

“OMG we’re all gonna die!!!!”

Tommy and myself go over some interesting facts and myths surrounding the long awaited end of the world.

Evidence speaks for itself:

• Blind community is in distress. Skype accessibility going downhill.
• Micro-singularity found inside Apple iDevices. Wanna know where that TTS goes?
• Giant solar flares, sun spots, magnetic poll shifts and the mysterious planet X.

Kick back & listen. …And don’t take yourself too seriously. Its just the end of the world. They happen all the time. Remember Y2k?

Sincerely,

Yours truly.

Since the making of the episode 3000000 more Mayans were found. Now totalling at over 7000000. Great success.
