RE: Programming: Which Editors Do We All Use?

in #programming7 years ago

I had no idea that a blind programming community exists! NVDA is incredible, and I can't believe that I hadn't heard of it before. I hope that more companies get support for screen-reading technologies, it seems like an obvious move to make.

It's not about companies getting support for them. It's about building accessibility checks into the development workflow and realizing that accessibility doesn't cost more money; it simply is a process that almost every framework has. WPF, for instance, if the default controls are used (though it works with custom ones, just gotta remember to include the property values), is just a quick look in the properties and ensuring that all of the UIA values are full. Other frameworks such as WXPython, QT5 Accessibility, and so on, exist for other languages and frameworks.
