ADA Accommodations!

Hi everyone!!

I currently use a screen reader and voice to to to text to roleplay and spend time online.

Are there any plans to incorporate ADA-compatible features to the site???

Thanks!!!@!!!

I’m glad you brought this up; I was thinking about this last night. A friend who I knew from FurryMUCK reached out because I hadn’t been active there in a while (for obvious reasons). They happen to be blind and I’m honestly not sure what the best solution is for them.

I believe the ResGate protocol that Mucklet uses has been implemented in a few libraries, but I think around here the focus has been building bots rather than alternate clients. Anyway I imagine there’s low-hanging fruit like alt text on images and buttons that’d help? Such issues can get fixed if reported; suggestions on how to fix it may help even more.

Suki, I would like to clarify your request. You wish to have the UI modified so that a screen reader works more efficiently, or at all? I think having a better description of the problem might help Acci pin down what isn’t working. As for keyboard navigation… Are you stating that the only keys you are physically able to work at times is tab, shift, and left or right, or those are the only ones you are currently able to make work on the site and you would like to have additional options for moving around the UI?
