Selfish Accessibility — Harbour Front HK

The slides from my talk at Harbour Front Hong Kong follow. If you cannot view the embed, visit them directly at SlideShare.

Embedded Videos

There were two videos in my talk. They will not play in the SlideShare embed, so I stuffed them below.

Slide 53

The video demonstrates how a screen reader user (in this case, NVDA with Firefox) will be unable to understand which field is which because they are not labeled. Pay attention to what happens at the country field.

Slide 63

The first part of the video demonstrates how it sounds when read by NVDA. The second part shows the interaction with a mouse. The third part shows the interaction with a keyboard.

thank you @aardrian for introducing me to the clickawaypound.com and sharing invaluable strategies on how to convince clients that accessibility is worth it. tldr: use subterfuge
