Matt Campbell@TetraLogical @craigabbott As a former screen reader developer myself, I mostly agree with this article. But, for the specific exzample of the clapping hands emoji, I think it would be easy enough to add a special case to the screen reader -- not "AI", but just a good old hand-coded heuristic -- to filter the text and then play a clapping-hands sound effect synchronized with each of the words. I just wonder if there's broad consistency on whether the emoji comes before or after the word.
