Thinking About All Users
summary
Argues that accessibility is practical and measurable: shows a screen reader demo navigating headings, main landmarks and ARIA (and an annoying aria-live cookie), demos a refreshable Braille display and a Notepad app exposing accessibility API strings, and describes an authoring platform called Coyote for visual descriptions that is in use. Quotes global stats—over a billion people with impairments, 110–190 million severe—and notes tooling: WCAG 2.1 AA as the target, Chrome/Firefox inspectors, Lighthouse and W3C validator, and that 20–25% automated coverage is typical.
