🌟Kira Aeva🌟<p>I'd just like to thank those of you who have boosted my post regarding the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Duolingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Duolingo</span></a> question. I seem to be making progress at this point, in spite of the quirks of the app. It would really be neat if they would include alt text on the images presented though. Voiceover lags it odd times as well; but overall, I think I'd give this app a three or four out of five. It's a bit clunky, but workable enough. Would be cool to see accessability improve though! <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blind</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Screenreader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Screenreader</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/French" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>French</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Learning</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/A11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>A11y</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Technology</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a></p>

🌟Kira Aeva🌟<p>Hi guys, I'm a totally <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blind</span></a> woman interested in learning French to start with. In coming back to <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Duolingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Duolingo</span></a>, I found that the first thing you have to do right off the bat is "choose the correct image". You can choose based on the audio you are hearing, absolutely, but you have no way of actually knowing what the so-called correct image actually is, making it pretty much impossible from an accessibility standpoint to know what words are being introduced and/or what they mean in English. Does anyone know of a good language learning app that is actually accessible? <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/A11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>A11y</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/French" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>French</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Learning</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Screenreader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Screenreader</span></a></p>

Question regarding alt-text for images and good interpretation by screen-readers: How should one emphasize a certain word or part of a word in plaintext? Would All-Caps work, or would something else be better?

I was wondering about this for transcribing protest-signs where some parts are written in another color or font for emphasis.

Question for folks who use screen readers: what is your preferred way for someone to write individual letters? Example, spelling out the letters on a sign that do not add up to a real word.

I did alt text for a picture of signs that were badly made. When describing the text layout, I went with "Capital Letter space Capital Letter". How well does that work versus maybe "Capital Letter dash Capital Letter"? Or is there a better option?
