CAUTION: Highly controversial accessibility topics in this podcasts:

  1. Do we need to set the reading order in my PDFs?
  2. 2. Title Tag or H1?

We discuss a real-world situation where someone's barrier to information in a PDF is not vision. However, because of a traumatic event this person has dyslexia and requires audio input to fully understand the content on the page they are reading. We discuss how reading order is affected by the source document. We look at MS Word and InDesign and discuss the challenges with each when considering reading order. We also discuss designing with accessibility in mind to account for setting the reading order as the content is developed rather than addressing it in the end.

Once again we approach perspectives on using the Title tag as the title on the cover of a document even though screen readers today only announce it as a

tag which doesn't declare any structure or importance. We also discuss the potential risks and benefits of manually "fixing" the title tag or the H1.

Buckle up for this one! You will either love us or start yelling at your phone or computer! No worries. We can take it.
