Complex and accessible JavaScript widgets (with simple HTML)

ARIA compatibility varies a lot between screen readers. It’s possible though to create most UI patterns by dividing them into HTML form controls, connecting them with JavaScript, styling them, and avoiding ARIA almost completely. These patterns are compatible with every browser and assistive device. They are extremely cheap in terms of performance and maintenance.

This simple idea will have a remarkable impact on how you will write interactive HTML in the future.

Cloud Transformation Roadmap – Best Practices and Learnings

Transformation means change. A cloud in the company causes a change in the technologies, processes, and last but not least in the way the employees work. Ideally, the cloud offers an individual “toolbox” that efficiently supports the right application in everyday business and in achieving goals. The “Cloud Transformation Roadmap” provides companies with a guide to help them build the right tools for their specific needs from the many options available.

Human with machine: The potential of hybrid AI technologies for the live subtitling of the future

The lecture will focus on the joint visions of both general managers Maximilian (EVE) and Stephan (VerbaVoice), and hybrid technologies for live subtitling in the future and their perspectives. Why is the future hybrid? Why did EVE come up with the “Proofreader feature” for live subtitling? Why does a company like VerbaVoice believe in working with hybrid artificial intelligence? What are the benefits? In addition to these answers to the open questions, there is also an introduction to the new “Online Proofreader” feature of the transcription tool EVE and its current application scenarios.
