   @dandylover1 Just last week I got in touch with an accessibility expert. We had a two-hour session where she registered an account and went through the whole system. She was using an iPad with VoiceOver. There were three main problems:

   • Some menu items weren't spoken
   • Some icons didn't have titles
   • Some of the headings were inconsistent

   There were also some other things that needed to be fixed, see here for a summary: github.com/friendica/friendica…

   I will try to work on this. I recently got hold of an iPhone, so I can now check with VoiceOver.

     @heluecht Thank you so much! I can't comment on Voiceover, as I use Windows, but I am assuming that, since you accessed it using the actual site, the problems would be the same.

     @dandylover1 I don't own any Windows devices, I use Linux. I now have an iPhone (just for testing), an Android device and a Chromebook. So I want to try to make it accessible for those devices. And I hope it will work with other screenreaders too.

     After I've made most of the changes, I'd like to get some feedback, just to make sure I'm on the right track. So I may get back to you about this.

     I can't say how much time I'll need, though. Working on Friendica is like trying to juggle a dozen things at once while solving a Rubik's Cube and reciting Shakespeare. I try to code new things, to maintain the system, search and fix bugs, provide support and update and maintain three Friendica installations (while also having a daytime job and some other spare time activities).
