@PatDaus Cool! I'll need to figure out how to fire up an Android emulator and try it out.

[Marc Thorson @marcoftheweb]

@PatDaus Does this mean full access to the entire platform by speech or just limited to certain apps?

@mattmay Acrobat Reader DC's new Fill & Sign feature is slick! Any advice on how to best leverage this, e.g. JavaScript, for blind users?

[Marc Thorson @marcoftheweb]

@skeohane1 @1mjmueller Thank you! I'm really interested in learning more about better integrating accessibility into agile.

[Marc Thorson @marcoftheweb]

Really enjoying #AccessUSummit today! Great speakers! Thank you!

[Marc Thorson @marcoftheweb]

@stacycarston Thanks so much, Stacy. Looking forward to the Viking and the Lumberjack! :-)

@stevefaulkner @w3c Speech recognition should be included as one of the scenarios where users benefit from well-crafted alt text (1.1, 1.3).

[Marc Thorson @marcoftheweb]

@stevefaulkner @w3c Great help! Your w3c-heading concept seems more reasonable than auto-magically ranking pre-ranked h1-h6.

[Marc Thorson @marcoftheweb]

@stevefaulkner @w3c Thanks! Will do. Mostly talking about the apprehension devs have about the auto-ranking concept within nested sections.
