#ACCESSIBILITY SCREEN READER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS HOW TO#
When you have a technical conference like useR!, where you’re actually showing how to write code and things like that, and you’re missing one of those channels, it can be a bummer. One of the assumptions at a lot of conferences is that the audience will be receiving information on two channels: they’ll be hearing the speaker talk about their slides, and they’ll be seeing the details that are in the slides. Two channels: the speaker and the slides. Q: What makes presentations accessible or inaccessible? And it has neat features, where you can see a map of where the people are, and you can see your friends and go up to them and start a conversation, and that’s great, but not everyone can access it. In the last year and a half I’ve had to say, “how are you hosting this conference?” If it’s going to be on GatherTown or, there’s another really visual one, that is just completely inaccessible. You often have to get in touch with them to ask. Most conferences have some sort of boilerplate standard legal disclaimer, if they have anything at all. I have several conferences in my field that I’ve had to advocate really hard for access to, and ones I’m waiting to hear from that are really resisting telling me what platform they’ll be on, so… it’s a really mixed bag. R Medicine is using Crowdcast also, so that one won’t be accessible.

So they had to patch me in via Zoom and I wasn’t able to attend the rest of the talks in real time with everybody else. We had already submitted our abstract and everything, and then we found out that the conference was going to be hosted on Crowdcast and I couldn’t access that at all. Earlier this year, I gave a talk with Silvia Canelón about the use of alt text in R TidyTuesday submissions. Q: Could you tell us about your experience with trying to attend conferences?Ĭonferences vary because several software components go into them.
