To sum up I feel like I've been whinging here while others are much more positive... I just retract to a position of not knowing. #axschat

A6/4 @@Unuhinuii Maybe it's sa different category of tool to be used to detect or even remedy cognitive issues - but I know too little about that field. #axschat

A6/3 Then there are the automated tools of the big accessibility players that can be integrated into the dev environment , and browser plugins like Axe dev tools or ARC Toolkit, and bookmarklets that support checks in the browsers. #AXSChat

A6/2 This includes the WCAG standard and its Understanding docs, the APG ARIA patterns, the MDN Web docs, the Webaim mailing list, a11ysupport.io, or the accessibility archives of CSS tricks, etc., to name just a few important ones. #AXSChat

A6/1 There's tons of information out there. Businesses must emphasize the importance of taking accessibility on board, then their developers (inhouse or external) will follow suit and find the useful stuff. #AXSChat

A5/2 I hope technology can help weed out deep fakes (or do I really enjoy fakes and don't want them weeded out?). Perhaps the biggest bonus will be the increased availability of simple language versions and summaries, something AI is already quite good at. #AXSChat

A5/1 I guess AI will provide or remedy alternative text for images or subtitles or audio-description for videos. I can't quite see AI fixing the frequent lack of keyboard accessibility, focus order, and reading order issues, but maybe I'm lacking imagination here. #AXSChat

A4/2 However, accessibility often still loses out when other strategic goals seem more pressing – especially in a fast-moving multi-team development environment with a high churn rate. #AXSChat

A4/1 Businesses pass on the legal pressure of the EAA on to their technical providers. And the smarter ones embrace accessibility as a thing that sits well with other strategic goals like general usability, and also, of course, equity and diversity. #AXSChat

A3/2 so the demand is there, but then you also have the wild west of overlay vendors flogging their shit to unaware public bodies and other organizations #axschat

A3 #Accessibility is a part of digital inclusion but shouldn't be confused as being the same as it. Other things need to be considered like skills, affordability & connectivity as well as attitudes & age appropriateness. The EAA forces companies to think about the topic #axschat

A3 Many players now realise they need to conform when offering public-facing services. So their software suppliers are now faced with requests that their next version of intranet, chatbot, reservation system, travel management system etc has to be accessible. #AXSChat

A2 Private players often lack knowledge (you can tell the panic when they realise the EAA affects their business). They often omit accessibility requirements in procurement & development. The stuff that is then developed with frameworks often has serious a11y issues. #AXSChat

A1 An exchange between member states' monitoring bodies about approaches of communicating with public bodies would be interesting. When there's no enforcement, what are they doing to get public bodies interested in becoming a good actor, a best practice example? #AXSChat
