Dear Beloved Community
Thank you so much for asking whether the new electronic tool you just announced today is accessible. ;-(((
How the bleep should RantWoman know? This is the first RantWoman has heard of this tool.

How about as a reasonable accommodation going forward, you please consider asking RantWoman whether a tool is accessible BEFORE you announce that it is the tool of choice?
Hint: you could also use the Google with name of product and accessibility as a search string. Some products even have something about accessibility on their websites. Whatever the Google says, even if there is decent automated testing, there is no substitute for live tests and for asking in advance..
It's not that RantWoman promises to be an entirely reasonable person, RantWoman is into the concept of a gracious and forgiving God. RantWoman in "a little less than God" mode has also been known to consider flogging, but RantWoman ardently hopes the beloved community can help her stay somewhere in the vicinity of reasonable..
Some accessibility problems are catastrophic. Some products have the kind of tech support who receive bug reports and even promise to fix them. Sometimes, people around RantWoman squeak by because RantWoman can make eyeballs work if absolutely necessary.
In any case, thank you for listening. Please consider the problem prayed over. Please also send me the link and I will report....
Faithfully
RantWoman
