I may have opinions about this.

She has kindly offered to run a competition to see who can best improve this year’s app (freshly built with the help of Claude). We have put up a prize of a ticket to iOSDevUK with 3 nights accommodation.

Accidentally hit the CONTROL key and SPACEBAR together while typing in MS Word, and was startled when my computer blurted out the word I was typing.
I knew TTS was possible, but I really didn't expect it to happen from a typo.
Irony abounds, as the word I was typing happened to be "accessibility"...

Anyone know of any free Speech-to-text translator apps for Windows 11? Asking for a friend. Apparently the older version is being retired (I am not too sure about the in's and out's of it) #a11y #accessibility

Accessibility Law of Headlines:
Any headline that asserts a thing is accessible is wrong.

Links need more than just a color change to distinguish them.
If your solution is `font-weight: 500`, don’t be surprised when you get dinged for 1.4.1 Use of Color.
`500` often renders no differently than the default (`400`). It’s adversarial conformance.
Use an underline.
