@himelstech Hey Michael! Just saw your visionOS 26.4 video from a couple weeks ago on foveated streaming, then learned about Untabbed; if you're still offering codes for it, I'd love to check it out!

[Simon Willison @simonw]

Here are my favorite snippets from my recent appearance on the Accessibility + Generwtive AI podcast, including notes on using LLMs to help with alt text and the ethics of building accessibility tools on top of inherently unreliable technology https://t.co/GXc307yTxZ

If you can measure it, you can manage it. By providing broad measurements, baselines can contribute to driving improvement & can empower brand leaders and builders to prioritize a11y in their app development processes.” - Ben Ogilvie, ArcTouch https://t.co/ESFvJrhuZW #axecon

[Paul Gallagher @MrPGallagher]

Nice presentation at #axecon from @caedmon13 & @Steady5063 on The State of Mobile App Accessibility 2025. Top takeaways: shoppers are leaving money on the table, lack of landscape excludes a growing user base, clean up the front door and the rest of the journey.

[Ben Ogilvie @caedmon13]

@MrPGallagher @dequesystems @Steady5063 Thanks for attending Paul!

[Mark Steadman @Steady5063]

@MKBHD I’ll take “Things that don’t pass WCAG success criterion 3.2.7” for 500 please, Alex.

[Ben Ogilvie @caedmon13]

I really enjoyed representing @ArcTouch during my panel discussion at the @GlobalSight conference yesterday with Hannah Arner of @CocaColaCo, @JoshLoebner of @vml_global, and @cdayrose of @HelloScribely on accessible digital marketing.

Rewatch it here! https://t.co/VyIEDdT3Gv

@Superhuman Thanks. Please try to prioritize this. Not being able to send an email that my blind colleagues can perceive equitably is a deal-breaker. Feel free to have the product team DM me if they need assistance, user perspective or UX recommendations.

[Ben Ogilvie @caedmon13]

Hey @Superhuman quick question: I've just started using the product and I'm enjoying it so far, but I can't figure out how to add alt text to images when I'm attaching them to an email, and I'm not finding anything in the Help Center about it. Help? 🙏

[Ben Ogilvie @caedmon13]

@BlindGuyTech @Steady5063 Wow! That’s amazing news.

[Ben Ogilvie @caedmon13]

@Steady5063 Happy Father’s Day my friend!

[Ben Ogilvie @caedmon13]

@Steady5063 Then as we’re burning down that initial backlog, and working with the auditor to validate remediation progress sprint-over-sprint, we’re also helping the client build up sustainable processes in their SDLC.

[Ben Ogilvie @caedmon13]

@Steady5063 Depends on industry, regulatory landscape (wether 3rd party atteststion is required), and whether you’re working on a net-new product or diving into something that already exists. Audits still help set the bar when we’re working with a new client on an existing product.

[Ben Ogilvie @caedmon13]

@maayanziv Welp. Somehow the algorithm put this tweet in front of me today like it has just happened. Hopping back in my time machine now! 🤡

[Ben Ogilvie @caedmon13]

@maayanziv Oh god @maayanziv I'm so incredibly sorry. Unbelievable.

[Ben Ogilvie @caedmon13]
