Posting in Reddit using voiceover. (self.Blind)
submitted by DSighted
Do any other blind users have issues creating a post on Reddit? Whenever I try to Create a post using voiceover it keeps forcing me to either discard or save the draft. It will not let me edit using voiceover, so I have to use my notepad then copy and paste in to read it. Becoming a hassle.

Try bacon reader or dystopia, but you’ll have to find the testflight link for that, applevis should be able to help with the link.

I only ever use Reddit with the BaconReader iOS app. It's much more accessible than the website.

Hi there, do not use the official application it really really sucks when it comes to accessibility, assuming you are on iOS becauseu had mentioned voice over, you should use dystopia

I'm still using the old layout, and the only issue I have is that sometimes I have to press VO+Space to activate text areas. Not sure about the new layout. You can set the old layout as default in preferences or by directly entering https://old.reddit.com/ in your browser's address bar.
Outside of reddit sometimes I have to simulate mouse clicks on text fields and text areas to get the text input cursor to activate. Apple's own website, of all places, is particularly bad in this regard.

I honestly, give up with companies like Reddit doing anything. I used to have a goto to get help and get shit changed. Since 2019 the person whos supposed to be in charge is MIA and I have no clue who to contact. I even applied for a job at Reddit and nothing. They do hire people who are completely not qualified though...
Just heads up - I reached out again to the admins of reddit. Wish me luck.

I’m starting to learn the battles have to be chosen carefully. A lot of them end up fruitless and Deavors. I am currently working to push lift and Uber to provide discounts to people who otherwise have no means of safe transportation.

Honestly, if you're in the U.S. you'll be surprised how much power the ADA has over companies.
