“CSS-only Widgets Are Inaccessible”
https://t.co/i9EyZByDZr
Loosely, those CSS-only controls (such as a hamburger trigger that uses the checkbox hack) you see (from every Dribble build or Codepen contest) are generally a problem for many (1/2)
@twynn92@BlindHerald Would be curious as well, I also know a lot of folks who run a business or just do consulting privately / as non-W2, and for those situations it can be simpler to hire someone. I don't think Turbotax would pass a WCAG evaluation and I'm surprised less has gotten spoken around it.
Looks like Turbo Tax still has buttons labeled "[object Object]" during the tax review screen. Nice going on accessibility, Intuit. Normally you rock this.
@twynn92 Since retirement / investment stuff is simple to report through them I said screw it. But the amount of upgrade nag screens, and inconsistent radio button selectors that sometimes don't highlight with arrows alone, and a bunch of other stuff still surprised me. They've had time.
@twynn92 I haven't heard of one, which is why a lot of people I know hire accountants, but my tax situation was simple this year with a single W-2, and Turbo had my past years of data so they sucked me in.
This NVDA updating has wasted an hour of my workday across multiple machines. What a Monday. I will give this to them: It does not break speech synthesizers or many major things, just annoyances if anything
Tried updating the manifest.ini for NVDA remote addon as I did with IBMTTS but it seemed to have a bug where I would get stuck controling remote machine, so it may need more updates to work correctly.
NVDA 2023.1 is now available! New paragraph options, link destination & annotated web content keystrokes, new Braille tables, fixes for Kindle, Windows 11, Office, Chrome, Firefox, web, java and more! Read the full what's new & download from: https://t.co/eOIaW0Evlk

I re-tested auto-translation of `aria-label`.
Chrome & Edge offer auto-translation. Firefox, Safari, et al, do not (I recall Safari 14 / iOS 11 had it, but I cannot find it now?).
Still little or no support.

Do not rely on it. #accessibility#a11y
The GitHub contributions chart is now far more accessible than it was (for logged in users only):

Seems a bit verbose in SRs.
