[Audyssey] Fwd: [NVDA] An interesting language game, accessible with NVDA

2014-02-18 Thread shaun everiss



Hi.


this comes from the nvda list
If you are game then this is probably for you but you need to 
probably know more than 1 language I don't really so I won't try this 
but you may be interested.




Hello list,
As this is an international group, you might be interested in playing

The Great Language Game






www.greatlanguagegame.com

This game involves recognising a number of different languages of 
the world. It aims at making people aware of the manyu languages 
that die every day, along with the cultures of their speakers.


Being a linguist, but above all a language and culture (and 
peoples') lover, I really enjoyed this game a lot.


I first played it with my son, who had discovered it, and was very 
pleasantly surprised to find that it's accessible with NVDA.


The only thing is that you'll have to disable the beeps for progress 
bars when you play, otherwise they'll mix up with your audio and you 
won't be able to detect the spoken language. Unless you have two 
different sound cards, of course.


Have fun!
Ciao,
Ollie

I think this should be accessible to any screen-reader. I haven’t checked the 
page source, but it looks like it’s HTMl5, which is cross-platform-accessible.

it’s a lot of fun. I only make two mistakes in fifteen tries. :)

Ok, one more note: I forgot to point out that I’m using mac OS x with Voiceover 
and it’s very accessible. Even the explanation of the results is quite 
readable. I’m impressed.

Slow down; you’ll get there faster.

[Audyssey] HTML5 Games: Are Any of These accessible?

2014-02-18 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, guys,

Anyone ever tried these games? I’m about to. I’d think that this might be a way 
to design accessible games on the web that could take the place of flash games, 
but I’m not a developer, so I can’t be sure.

Re: [Audyssey] HTML5 Games: Are Any of These accessible?

2014-02-18 Thread Jacob Kruger
Think it would really depend on content types they make use of - tested 
klondike card game, and nothing showed up - most likely using untagged 
images, but, if I go into one of the quize puzzles, then can work through 
that easily enough, although would need to double check the scoring system 
to make sure of results, but, the content there was textual, so could read 
it easily enough, and, FWIW, since HTML5 will generally be updating webpage 
content dynamically, it might be relevant that this was on a windows7 
machine, using internet explorer 11, along with jaws 14 at the moment.


Stay well
