Where can I find more sapi voices? I want better voices when I play Jim Kitchen's games. #Blind
Are you a #Blind person attending one of today's #HandsOff rallies? We're looking to cover this event in a future episode of #PrideConnection and we'd love to hear from you, and maybe get some rally audio. Reply or email media@blindlgbtpride.org if interested in contributing. Thanks for your help.
Our family is looking for a new gas stove. What are people recommending these days in the way of modern stoves with all the bells and whistles, but which are #accessible in some way? A stove that works with #Alexa and/or #Google smart speakers should work fine. At our last home we had an LG which worked with the ThinQ app, and could also be connected to smart speakers. The problem was, if you told your smart speaker to start the oven, it'd set a cook timer of fifteen minutes, which is useless for just about anything, and they got to where they wouldn't accept a new timer setting. Please boost for reach. Thanks. #blind
So, since Windows this morning proved me again how incapable it is to handle my generic boring computer usage, I feel like I at least need to start looking into Linux. I mean maybe I like it, can't know if I never tried. So my question for all the #blind #Linux folks, what's the best way to get started with stuff like #Orca. Please don't flood me with some advanced whatever stuff. I just want to get something running on VMware to try around, to see how it's actually going. Of course I understand that there is a learning curve but I guess I'll need it sooner or later anyways, for whatever might come.
Anyone tried getting an orbit reader 20 #braille display working in dos-screen-readers like ASAP or vocaleyes?

I love having a #braille display again.
My next plan is to get it working with #linux with #brltty on the commandline.

@Panamalt You are wrong.
#Accessibility is a virtue on Mastodon. There are quite a few #blind or visually impaired people who use this medium with their screen readers for precisely this reason. There are also quite a few users who neither favor nor boost posts with media without #alttext text.
Braille dice! Large print dice! Accessible dice rolling apps!

OK, I'll make it even clearer for those in the back:
If you put AI generated alttext you are not my ally. #blind
I'm considering getting into the world of field-recording.
#fieldrecording
Anyone know of an #accessible #recording app for IOS and IPadOS which I could use for this?
I know I could probably get started with just the built-in memoes-app, but that thing is kinda limited in terms of the formats you can choose from.

AI is becoming the support worker I always wanted. I spent years in disability employment, and getting the right human help was hard — but now, for $8/month, I use Guide from GuideInteraction.com. It reads the screen, explains layouts, buttons, and images. No drama, just help. This is only the beginning. #Accessibility #Blind #AI #Guide #AssistiveTech
Wollte Iceshrimp ausprobieren. Noch bevor ich mich auf iceshrimp.de registrieren konnte stellte ich schon ein paar unbenannte Schalter fest. Naja, ist Opensource und lässt sich ändern, also auf die Registrierungsseite gegangen.
Iceshrimp.de nutzt HCaptcha. Ok, dann eben kein Iceshrimp für mich. Diese Accessibilitycookies funktionieren bei mir so gut wie nie, ich muss einem Service dem ich nicht traue meine Mailadresse geben, was noch ein faktor ist, der gegen HCaptcha spricht. Audiocaptcha gibts auch nicht. Wann endlich Captcha-alternative? #DisabledAlltag #Blind #A11Y #ScreenReader
#blind folks:
Are either of these shows available in #DescribedVideo, i.e. with #audio description?
1. Penn & Teller: #FoolUs, and
2. Penn & Teller's Bullshit.
I'm more interested in the first one, if available, to see how they describe the #magic tricks. The second show has tons of talking in it, so doesn't really need audio description.
www.audiovault.net does not have either.

Just had a wild tech support experience with @InnosearchAI , who run an online shopping platform made to be accessible for blind users. I wrote them with an issue I was having using the site with my screen reader, and they wrote back saying let's schedule a Zoom call so you can show us what's happening, and we'll give you $50 in credit on your account. And then that actually happened. The people on the call were very nice, and I sort of just don't know how to react to a tech company actually valuing my feedback as a screen reader user. Like valuing it with money. #blind #accessibility
