This is an aside, but I wish HTML had the concept of "alt text", for text.
This page links to here: https://justine.lol/ape.html https://justine.lol/ape.html and the title of that page, while "readable", generates absolute garbage from a screenreader.
It would be nice if web page authors could add metadata which describes how to read weirdly styled text.
- saurik 5y agoUse aria-label + aria-hidden?
- tyingq 5y agoThe html <title> attribute seems fine: <title>Actually Portable Executable</title> The <h1> does have that weird text, but has a normal title and aria-label: <h1 title="Actually Portable Executable" aria-label="Actually Portable Executable">αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε</h1> Seems like the page author tried to make it somewhat screen-reader friendly.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 5y agoCan you disable Unicode (UTF-8) with the screenreader. What happens if you remove "meta-charset=UTF-8" from the Content-Type header and "<meta-charset=UTF-8>" from the HTML. I use a text-only browser and keep it set on 7-bit ASCII.
