Hello #Blind folks using screenreaders. I need to make a short video demonstrating a simple accessibility problem or two on a web page: unlabeled buttons or edit fields, controls that are spoken but can't be activated with the keyboard, that sort of thing. Do you have any suggested pages? #A11Y #Accessibility

Hi @overcastfm. I've stuck with your #iOS #Overcast app over the years, mostly because of the superior audio playback features. However, there is no Back button on the Now Playing screen for #Voiceover users. I listen to some things over long periods of time, and want to leave and return to them. I can't do this, unless I force quit and relaunch the app! Please add a Back button to that screen! Thanks. #blind #apple #accessibility #a11y #podcasting

I received a sensory cube, a tactile Rubik's #Cube for Christmas. Great! I can't find any accessible beginner hints or instructions though, only an article in the #Braille Monitor from Paul Martz #NFB talking about a forthcoming book. Anybody have any tips to share for an absolute beginner, starting with: which colors correspond to which tactile markings?
