Can someone please write a review of jamboard and miro? We are trying to make a virtual ideation workshop more accessible and I'm curious about the screen reader access of these collaboration tools.

We've tried SurveyMonkey with their French version and the form we got was still marked up with the lang="en"

I was on YouTube today (2019 Feb 06) to upload a video. While in Windows High Contrast Mode, I discovered a couple of issues that would make it challenging for people using HCM on Firefox:

• navigate forward or backward on a video, and
• upload a transcript to their video.

However, those issues didn't exist in Edge, even though I did find that the radio checked state in a modal had low contrast (gray on black with padding between the yellow circle outline:

Ultimately, this brings up a question in my mind:

Do you want a YouTube review? I can mess around with more features while in HCM to offer a basic review from the standpoint of perceivability. It would have to be from Edge and IE testing only since FF and Chrome don't really support it well.

I'm working on a review of Hashnode's developer content platform. First post here. Would you rather I add it when I'm completely done?

Hi! Good luck with this project - I found your site while researching accessibility of survey systems, as I'm doing the initial thinking re. building a replacement for our old one at work.

I have two distinct strands of work that I'd like to ask for a review or reviews of...

Personal: I'm an open source software developer, and I would like to get accessibility feedback on my current main project, ShinyCMS (Ruby). In an ideal world I would love to have ongoing regular collaborative feedback on accessibility considerations as the project's feature-set grows, but any level of help would be welcomed and appreciated. If anybody is potentially interested, please get in touch (email: 2020 at username dot me) and we can discuss what I can do to make it easier for you to check out ShinyCMS (you'll probably need to have an interest in running your own website to be interested in this kind of tool, but I'm happy to help you get it set up if you're not confident doing that bit alone). Sadly I cannot afford to offer payment for help with this project, but any improvements you help me make will be given freely to others in turn.

Professional: I work for 38 Degrees (a UK-based political campaigning organisation - progressive, multi-issue, and member-led, similar to MoveOn in the US). We have paid for one accessibility audit of our main campaigning platforms (about two years ago), and fixed most of the issues they found, but feedback from a variety of people with a variety of perspectives would no doubt still be valuable. If anybody has time to do a comprehensive look at our sites and write us a proper accessibility report then please get in touch with me (email: username at 38degrees dot org dot uk) to discuss that in advance as you should be paid for your time. If people want to have a quick look on a more ad-hoc basis than of course we would welcome any tips you can give us, big or small - thanks! You can find links to our campaigns platforms on our homepage: 38 Degrees

I love and respect the dedication that goes into community efforts like this.

However we're in a weird place as an industry where this work is necessary but often seen as work for volunteers.

Can we make something like this sustainability funded?

I wonder what the response would be to something like open collective.

Granted it's early days but thought I'd mention it because this is a dilemma for me contributing.

Hi,

I'm one of a developer of LimeSurvey. We improve a11y in last version, and i create a template with other improvement (a11y and other).

But : i think i'm not the best to create a pull request with LimeSurvey. Is there a way to do ?

Can we have a CONTRIBUTE.md for new tool ?
We have an old topic about a11y (section 508) : https://forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-this-with-limesurvey/38476-section-508-compliance-for-people-w-disabilities but nothing with the last stable (lts) version.

To me, the goal of this project is allow people to choose accessible tools over unaccessible ones when an accessible options exists. Hence the focus should be on showcasing the accessible tools. We could always mentioned the other tools that have been reviewed and deemed less accessible, but we shouldn't put them front and center.

Please add dates of testing because these services and their accessibility change frequently.

If we want to reach the most people could we consider using 'accessibility' rather than a11y?

Today (2019 Feb 04) I opened up a SurveyMonkey survey for Level Access & G3ict while in High Contrast Mode on Windows 10. First, in Firefox, I noticed the radio buttons weren't visible. I thought it might be a browser issue since FF doesn't fully support HCM.

This is what I saw in FF:

Opening up Edge, I found the same problem:

IE had the same results. No radio button.

Reviewing the source code, it turned out that the radio input was set to opacity=0 and positioning was absolute to pull it further out of the way. A background image was positioned to sit in its place. However, as with HCM's functionality, background images are removed.

/* real radio button */
.modern-browser .radio-button-input, .modern-browser .checkbox-button-input {
	position: absolute;
	overflow: hidden;
	opacity: 0;
	outline: 0;
	width: 20px;
	height: 20px;
	top: 8px;
	left: 0;
}

/* custom (fake) radio button */
.radio-button-display, .checkbox-button-display {
    background-image: url("/assets/responseweb/smlib.surveytemplates/4.2.9/assets/sprite_checkmark_alpha.png");
}
.radio-button-display {
    background-position: 0 0;
}
.radio-button-display, .checkbox-button-display {
    width: 20px;
    height: 20px;
    position: relative;
    z-index: 11;
    display: block;
    float: left;
    margin: 0 8px 0 0;
}

For comparison, a screenshot of Chrome, which doesn't support HCM:

Would you add a note about this under SurveyMonkey? I can provide further details, if you need them.
