A Glimpse Into Accessibility

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Practical checklist and real tools: add meaningful alt text, label form fields, caption videos and default sound off; avoid unlabeled graphic buttons, problematic table layouts, and serif fonts for dyslexia. Test with axe, pa11y, JAWS and Toptal’s color filter. Note specifics: color vision deficiency affects about 1 in 12 men, the slide example number is 74, and FaceTime effectively replaces slow TTY workflows so in-laws can video chat daily. Modern JS frameworks can omit alt support—fixes require deliberate coding.
