16:10 🔗 yipdw so girls and guys, I'm wondering how many of you know about the state of the art in screen reader technology
16:11 🔗 yipdw I'm proposing a new interface for a website that has to have nice, smooth, interactive editing on complex data structures
16:12 🔗 yipdw but at the same time shouldn't do (too) much Javascript jackassedness to make it impossible for an automated process to derive data from the page
16:12 🔗 yipdw I'm wondering if it's possible for screen readers these days to present data from a webpage where said data is being rendered asynchronously by Javascript code
16:13 🔗 yipdw actually, a better question: what screen readers do people use?
16:13 🔗 yipdw I might as well just use one and see what it's like
16:13 🔗 yipdw assuming it's not JAWS, which I can't afford
16:15 🔗 yipdw (tangents: yeah, I know there's implications there for search engines. I don't care about them; they can spend billions to run pages through PhantomJS or some shit to get data. most users can't.)
16:15 🔗 balrog_ yipdw: have you tried the Mac OS screen reader? I've heard it's way better than JAWS
16:15 🔗 yipdw balrog_: I haven't
16:15 🔗 yipdw is it built into Snow Leopard?
16:15 🔗 balrog_ it's built into every version of Mac OS X, 10.5+ iirc
16:16 🔗 yipdw oh huh
16:16 🔗 balrog_ VoiceOver
16:16 🔗 yipdw wait, is this the Universal Access
16:16 🔗 yipdw ahh
16:16 🔗 balrog_ http://www.apple.com/voiceover/info/guide/
16:16 🔗 yipdw I haven't tried that in Safari
16:16 🔗 balrog_ yeah, 10.6+
16:16 🔗 yipdw it got horribly annoying when I was using it in Terminal
16:16 🔗 balrog_ ah
16:16 🔗 yipdw I'll give it a shot, though
16:16 🔗 balrog_ be sure to read the documentation
16:16 🔗 balrog_ what sort of Mac do you have that's stuck on 10.6, btw?
16:16 🔗 yipdw I have two
16:17 🔗 balrog_ because Apple keeps improving things
16:17 🔗 yipdw one is my work machine, which we have to qualify a bunch of corporate network stuff (read: shit software)
16:17 🔗 balrog_ 10.7 lets you configure it a lot more
16:17 🔗 yipdw it's stuck on OS X 10.6.8 mostly due to Retrospect and PGP Desktop
16:17 🔗 balrog_ agh
16:17 🔗 yipdw though I think it may be 10.7 ready
16:17 🔗 balrog_ isn't there a version of PGP for 10.7?
16:17 🔗 yipdw the other is a personal Macbook Air that I could put on 10.8 but just haven't
16:17 🔗 yipdw there probably is
16:17 🔗 balrog_ is 10.7 on the Air?
16:17 🔗 yipdw just haven't gotten around to it
16:18 🔗 balrog_ 10.8 is mainly a bugfix release, but adds some nice refinements
16:18 🔗 balrog_ it significantly improves stability and performance though
16:18 🔗 yipdw balrog_: no, the Air is on 10.6.8 :P
16:18 🔗 balrog_ ah.
16:18 🔗 yipdw I sat out Lion
16:19 🔗 balrog_ well, 10.6.8 has Rosetta
16:19 🔗 yipdw but I know 10.6 -> 10.8 works fine
16:19 🔗 balrog_ 10.7+ doesn't
16:19 🔗 balrog_ that's the main disadvantage of upgrading
16:19 🔗 yipdw I've never used Rosetta on the Air
16:19 🔗 balrog_ if you want to run old PPC software
16:19 🔗 yipdw I have seen Rosetta used on my work machine, though
16:19 🔗 balrog_ otherwise, what are you waiting for? :D
16:19 🔗 yipdw for Microsoft AutoUpdate
16:19 🔗 balrog_ ugh
16:19 🔗 yipdw (yeah, sigh, I know)
16:19 🔗 balrog_ that's fixed in the latest office, iirc
16:19 🔗 yipdw oh
16:19 🔗 balrog_ they may have pushed an update to AutoUpdate for older office
16:20 🔗 yipdw I think I'll try another fix
16:20 🔗 yipdw delete Excel and Word
16:20 🔗 yipdw replace with LibreOffice
16:20 🔗 balrog_ XD
16:20 🔗 balrog_ I sorta like Apple's office programs too
16:20 🔗 yipdw I mean, if it works
16:20 🔗 balrog_ Pages and Numbers and Keynote
16:20 🔗 yipdw I like Keynote, never really felt comfortable with the others though
16:20 🔗 SketchCow http://www.unbaby.me/
16:21 🔗 yipdw holy shit that is an awesome extension
16:21 🔗 Aranje I love it
16:22 🔗 yipdw balrog_: there's also a few other things that I haven't yet figured out in the 10.6 -> 10.8 move, all of which are related to "can I build this with clang"
16:22 🔗 yipdw for most things the answer is "yes"
16:22 🔗 yipdw for some (like Ruby) the answer is "gotta make sure llvm-gcc is there"
16:22 🔗 yipdw or some such
16:22 🔗 yipdw i don't think it's a hard problem to solve though
16:22 🔗 yipdw I just need to take a couple hours and just do it
16:23 🔗 balrog_ most things can be built with clang, and the ones that can't are being fixed
16:24 🔗 balrog_ wine may be an issue; clang miscompiles parts of it but it generally works; llvm-gcc fails hard
16:39 🔗 balrog_ yipdw: yeah seems Apple added a lot more control to VoiceOver in 10.7 and 10.8
17:24 🔗 godane good news everyone
17:24 🔗 balrog_ oh?
17:24 🔗 godane techcrunch can be backed up like hackaday
