Re: VMware Fusion Vs Virtualbox.

[Sheri Byrne]

Additionally, as a VMware accessibility team employee if you have issues I’ll 
make sure you get help :)

 -Jessica,
  Maybe I should first suggest another option. I took a quick look at 
 Windows 11 on Amazon. One option is to buy for $139 and download then you 
 can out it on a thumb drive though I don't know how big it is. Or, buy a 
 PC. I saw an HP model for $189. If you want to look into getting a PC, 
 there are other brands too like Dell.
 
  For NVDA here is the web site.  It will give you the download button with 
 the "no donation" button already selected.
 
 https://www.nvaccess.org/download/
 
  Here is the VMware site.
 
 https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads/info/slug/desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_fusion/13_0
 
  VMware Fusion Player 13 is the latest. If you choose to go this route and 
 not a PC, you can install this using Voiceover. You can run it and look at 
 its settings etc. Once you get a Windows ISO (image file) you can install 
 it into Fusion.
 
  You might want some sihted help after this to put the NVDA file on the 
 Windows desktop. When you clock it, it will come up talking.
 
  I hope this helps!

[Sheri Byrne-Haber]

I wonder what takes precedence if you have already remapped your triple tap 
button - for example, I have done that to VoiceOver, but I could always default 
back to "hey Siri" rather than digging into my accessibility settings.

Re: looking for a tutor for a friend to learn the iPhone

[Sheri Byrne]

I had proposed doing a in person class on this through my community center but 
I could not easily meet their insurance requirements.

I am sighted but with glaucoma and astigmatism.  Is this something that you 
think could be done effectively online?

Re: Fusion 12 Released

[Sheri Byrne]

Absolutely there’s already an IT ticket open and I have somebody following 
this. We had already started to do a search and destroy on inaccessible 
captures and somehow this one didn’t make it on our list.

I will post just as soon as it’s fixed. Next week is VMworld and we may have an 
IT moratorium on changes. So it might be the week after.

Re: Fusion 12 Released

Hi folx,

Been lurking on this group for a couple of months.  I was VMware's first
accessibility manager and have recently moved into an accessibility
architect role.  There are a significant number of accessibility
improvements in the new releases of Player, Workstation, and Fusion.  Here
are the links.

https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/downloads/info/slug/desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_fusion/12_0

https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/downloads/info/slug/desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_workstation_pro/16_0

https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/downloads/info/slug/desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_workstation_player/16_0


We will be doing user research with screen reader users on these products
in the November-January timeframe.  If you are interested in participating,
please ping me at sbyrnehaber at vmware dot com.  You can also connect with
me on LinkedIn, the session dates will be announced there as well.


Thanks,


Sheri

Re: Building Accessible Website with Wordpress

[Sheri Byrne]

https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/accessibility-ready  is a list of
supposedly accessible Wordpress themes - though I don't know what level of
testing they go through (if any) to be put on the list.  Someone I know
just tested one using Lighthouse and it only got 93?
