The last couple of days I've been experimenting with the modes on my phone. The "do not disturb" while sleeping is fine but my choices for the "driving" mode might need some work. I thought the reading out of whatsapp messages might be useful, particularly on the way in and out of said place.
Turns out I have a new found additional understanding of what VI people with screen readers are going through. When you've had the nice lady in your phone read "upward pointing finger with palm facing outwards" ten times because one of your colleagues likes to emphasise his messages with a follow-up screen full of ☝️ you begin to feel a fraction of their pain.
I have the option of turning off the reader. Not everyone does. I'll be thinking about that.
@bykimbo It could also be misconstrued as the middle finger by the visually impaired.
I couldn't agree more though, accessibility was never designed to be a convenience feature. Programmers who borrow a feature to supplement another feature are just lazy. As far as manners go. I wouldn't expect this to improve any time soon, but do try and enjoy your day.
