Here are my favorite snippets from my recent appearance on the Accessibility + Generwtive AI podcast, including notes on using LLMs to help with alt text and the ethics of building accessibility tools on top of inherently unreliable technology simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/2…

If you can measure it, you can manage it. By providing broad measurements, baselines can contribute to driving improvement & can empower brand leaders and builders to prioritize a11y in their app development processes.” - Ben Ogilvie, ArcTouch deque.com/axe-con/sessions/t… #axecon

Nice presentation at #axecon from @caedmon13 & @Steady5063 on The State of Mobile App Accessibility 2025. Top takeaways: shoppers are leaving money on the table, lack of landscape excludes a growing user base, clean up the front door and the rest of the journey.

ALT screenshot of the "Top Takeaways - For Business Leaders" slide: 1. "Fair" isn't good enough 2. Shopping apps leaving money on the table 3. Lack of landscape mode and font scaling excludes a growing user base 4. Home screen: A poor first impression often leads to abandonment 5. Teams focused on individual screens rather than user journeys.

Hey @Superhuman quick question: I've just started using the product and I'm enjoying it so far, but I can't figure out how to add alt text to images when I'm attaching them to an email, and I'm not finding anything in the Help Center about it. Help? 🙏

#Accessibility tip for any #MobileDev out there. DO NOT I repeat DO NOT add "button", "link", "heading" at the end of an #A11y label. It may sound like it is properly announced, however, if someone uses #iOS rotor or #Android LCM to navigate, they will NOT be able to!

What are the considerations which continue to defer more drastic measures which have been effective at rapid curve-flattening elsewhere? Many individuals continue to ignore Texas' recommendations and it does not appear they will change without stronger measures. #AskAbbott
