To be honest, I started working on that first. Then, I realized that the reader needs more background to know what I'm talking about. Then, I decided to write this post.

I promise to write about that next Sunday.

I personally find it unfair to make the whole web seem bland to a majority of people, so that a minority would find it easy to access. However, I believe that teaching developers about their responsibility to their fellow human beings, even in theory, would go a long way in reducing stuff that looks well, but is not usable to the blind.

What you mentioned about accessibility features being available but not being used in practice is not only in the web. You get the same thing in Android and IOS applications as well. I have always wondered about how we can fix this, but to be honest, I have never found a solution, sadly.

This is a very valid point. All the pages produced by the places I've worked at were 100% accessible, mainly because the developers could see that I am unable to use the website, and I told them how easy it is to make content accessible. It is really simple once you do know that it is possible, and having a blind colleague who serves as a human tester is, as you said, really cool in this regard.

Thank you. I'm glad to know that sighted people were looking for readable articles as much as I am.

Hey,

Thanks a lot for going through the article! :-)

You should keep a few things in mind about what I said regarding the accessibility of math content:

- I am in Iran. A lot of the assistive technology (other than software) is not available to me. I have no idea what people have in the United States, but I know blind people who have been very successful in mathematics. So, there is definitely a way. You just have to be in the right place.

- At the time I was in university (that is 2008-2010) screen readers and accessibility were not as advanced. There was also no concept of MathML back then. Things are improving though.

With all that said, math content is still not as accessible to blind people as it is to their sighted counterparts. But with the right people, you can circumvent the lack of support.
