Not every app or website is inherently ready for it. It is called digital accessibility, or simply #Accessibility. There are standards and (in several locations) laws enforcing it. The most prominent world standard everyone bases their local laws of is Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG, most commonly read as &#34;wick-cagg&#34;). Unfortunately, I didn&#39;t find any Matrix client for Windows or web accessible for screen reader users. 2026-02-01T11:37:08Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrmu5areh8x74f5pj0wn7tj42vxtk9fgecdj9s073qlst67urq6mczyrzzg5lck8vvkkalqrv3l6jhxlmxksrhtj32kc8wtddcnqz4dhmszx55n5p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs27w48jwfpf68j5axpau4ra7dn4649wu4ge0pw6czkej029hn0trcgujx5a'>nevent1q…jx5a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If only that software was accessible to everyone, that would have been great. but nope. 2026-02-01T11:22:56Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfhqr4m3ckf0uvgeluyq77499e3nfk3eyelg6jrl8l4kuycs4dkrszyrzzg5lck8vvkkalqrv3l6jhxlmxksrhtj32kc8wtddcnqz4dhmszvqnk20 Sorry, I can&#39;t resist showing you one more. <br/>&#34;One night in Bangkok but it&#39;s a 16th century chanson&#34;<br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3jHv0GZB9U">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3jHv0GZB9U</a><br/>Note, performed by one single man, Jonas Wolf, he did all the voices.<br/>#Music #Baroque #YouTube 2026-01-10T16:54:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfac3h63q0u2ytu72xmfqr3gnc4jl87ykncm4x3v5mxv7526k26nqzyrzzg5lck8vvkkalqrv3l6jhxlmxksrhtj32kc8wtddcnqz4dhmsz6pu3nj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs922dyck6xk06dlplezmf8sj5pdptjc9aw5q4s54qkq2ec2kn9dlgy4xzvz'>nevent1q…xzvz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Interestingly enough, in Russian computer slang &#34;meter&#34; is a megabyte.

They need to leave?!! As a man, I&#39;m deeply disgusted and appalled by such claims. Are women not people? what a hideous, awful, absolutely impossible… I lack for words, except for curses.<br/>Many and many inventions in technology are made by women. To quote only one example, closest to me: I&#39;m a blind developer, and I use text-to-speech every day.<br/>Before 1998 (or so, I might be off by one or two years, it might have been 1996 or 1997) every single blind person who needed a Windows screen reader and wanted to use JAWS had to buy a super expensive hardware speech synthesizer, prices ranked from $1000 and up.<br/>In 1998 (or nearly, as I said), JAWS 3.2 appeared, containing Eloquence, a high quality, super fast software synthesizer used by many still today and even on various platforms nowadays, including iOS and Android.<br/>You guessed it already, who is the inventor and developer of Eloquence.<br/>Dr. Susan Hertz.<br/>and it&#39;s only one absolutely revolutionary thing that made PCs available for lots and lots of blind people. 2025-12-06T19:42:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw32vr5w8cxan4hph7ysd5jztnun4knxjuade8ttaypp787z43s4szyrzzg5lck8vvkkalqrv3l6jhxlmxksrhtj32kc8wtddcnqz4dhmsz3jupzj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspatv2cjn8v4utn5nrfac678p5cm5z55rljekx8z2c7za0xu33dsqxtjpvr'>nevent1q…jpvr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Accessibility for screen reader users.
