@FrankElavsky @Highcharts So thrilled to get to work with you this summer, Frank!

[Laura Garrison @_Laura_Garrison]

Impressive and full-featured app for visualization + sonification (which is also freely available!) from @Highcharts and Bruce Walker’s group at Georgia Tech. Check it out: https://t.co/TQvtsOBsL6

[Øystein Moseng @oysteinmoseng]

Wow, excellent set of blog posts from @dataandme on using @Highcharts accessibility module in R! https://t.co/9BFELrBw26 #RStats #accessibility

[Øystein Moseng @oysteinmoseng]

@dennisl @Highcharts Thanks @dennisl - it was great to meet you!

[Øystein Moseng @oysteinmoseng]

Also a big thanks to everyone who contributed to the user research behind this work!

[Øystein Moseng @oysteinmoseng]

Me and @tedgies1 will be presenting at #CSUNATC22 in a week or so, talking about accessibility for scatter plots (especially big datasets), as well as drill down interactivity in charts. We're pretty friendly so please come talk to us!

[Øystein Moseng @oysteinmoseng]

@ed_edwardson @FrankElavsky @Highcharts We are currently using a combination of SVG and HTML, and will continue to tweak this balance more in the future. For charts we will always recommend giving access to a combination of modalities, including a plain old HTML data table & a text description.

[Øystein Moseng @oysteinmoseng]

@ed_edwardson @FrankElavsky @Highcharts Thanks for the shout-out @FrankElavsky! From our testing, some things have definitely improved the past years - e.g. support for the WAI-ARIA Graphics module (https://t.co/F2krEfJha5), and some have actually deteriorated (looking at you NVDA).

[Øystein Moseng @oysteinmoseng]

@FrankElavsky @Highcharts Thanks for the shoutout Frank, and for the great work you continue to do for the dataviz community!

[Mara Averick @dataandme]

Inspired by @spcanelon R-data-viz-accessibility collection (https://t.co/5GhPWltQTg), I've done a series of posts on using the @Highcharts accessibility module w/ @jbkunst's 💖 {highcharter} package:

@brucel Awesome! I know many artists incorporate sonification in their music, so if you're feeling experimental I am sure there is some fun to be had there!

[Øystein Moseng @oysteinmoseng]

@brucel Loud guitarist mostly here, measured in dB/neighbour complaints! Somehow never heard of Årabrot, I have some research to do! I see you are a musician as well?

[Øystein Moseng @oysteinmoseng]

@brucel @bruce_walker's sonification lab at @GeorgiaTech has a lot of research. In our experience it can be useful, but more complex sonifications require more training, and it won't be intuitive to everyone. Best not relied upon as the only modality, but a powerful tool in many cases

[Øystein Moseng @oysteinmoseng]

Great and insightful presentation from Google's @KentTheHuth on #DataAccessibility! Appreciate the @Highcharts shoutout! https://t.co/WlxtSPDNRZ

[Øystein Moseng @oysteinmoseng]

I had a lot of fun talking about this exciting topic with these great people, thanks for having me @DataVizSociety!

🤔Do you know how to make charts accessible? If not, read Elsevier's and Highcharts' new standards for chart accessibility 👉 https://t.co/YYshYkhumF

This year's @DIAGRAMC report is out with some excellent content! https://t.co/LRcDVGpkOv #a11y

[Øystein Moseng @oysteinmoseng]

@FrankElavsky @Highcharts @amcharts Great writeup! And indeed our semantics are a result of coming to the same conclusion as Doug, that a role+tabindex+aria-label on the individual elements gave us the most robust behavior across AT and browsers.
