Accessible Twitter

Via AniktoBlog:

Accessible Twitter works just like Twitter with a few inter­face tweaks. Upon vis­it­ing the site, the first thing one notices is the large default text size and the high color con­trast. The lay­out is sim­pli­fied and con­sis­tent, with keyboard-​​accessible links and clean markup.

I tested the appli­ca­tion with JAWS and a screen-​​reader emu­la­tor, and I found both expe­ri­ences to be rea­son­ably straight­for­ward and barrier-​​free. Accessible Twitter is cur­rently in the alpha stage, with direct mes­sag­ing and reply­ing fea­tures com­plete. Still to come are active hyper­link­ing, pag­i­na­tion and follower/​followee viewing.
