Alright. We are slowly, very slowly, getting into a season where there's more to show. So!
In an hour, join me over at the game4access Twitch channel where I will be taking a look at #slayTheSpire and how it can be played when fully #blind. We'll be discussing this #game's #accessibility as we play it and no doubt get horribly destroyed multiple times. https://twitch.tv/game4access is where it's at. #selfPromo #twitch #streamer

The secret 'language' only blind people can understand - and it's not Braille https://www.9news.com.au/national/the-secret-language-only-blind-people-can-understand--and-its-not-braille/667eca67-a032-497e-a8fe-2bfd0d57e1c7 Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone read at 900 words per minute; #blind #a11y

If you are in the UK, you might want to listen to a story on radio #BBCLondon today, around 11.40 AM:
the National Federation of the #Blind taking legal action against the changes to BBC Local radio - visually impaired listener Sarah Leadbetter, who started the procedure, will be on air. Worth tuning in.

For those researchers who wish to understand what we are up to with mental imagery for vision through sensory substitution for the #blind, use stereo headphones and watch the YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihSbdGjB3BQ What can #neuroscience contribute?

Welcome to Blind photography. Here’s a snapshot of N.Y., at least a part of it.

Just learned that #Godot 4 allows native Text to Speech! 🔊
Go to Project, Project Settings, General (under Audio), and enable the "Text to Speech" checkbox.

With BeMyAI and Lookout on the rise and existing services like Seeing AI and Envision being out there, it seems like a lot of #blind people are trying to become familiar with phone cameras and their interfaces. There are a lot of questions about camera positioning--e.g., how to point, how to stand, what will be covered, etc.

Would it be helpful to have an article or an audio tutorial that covers these topics?

醒来就得把手机格式化了，赶紧把这个差最后5个房间的密室逃脱通关了…！
体验挺新鲜的一个小品脱出游戏，蛮喜欢的。设定是看不见的妈妈和年幼的女儿一起被关在了一栋豪宅里，妈妈（玩家）通过女儿探索的反馈来掌握情况，指引女儿解开机关然后领着妈妈离开这个地方。SE和游戏系统以及机关特别用心，游玩过程中能体验到视力缺失的人是怎样去掌握自己身处的环境的，强烈推荐开声音玩。50多个房间，机关谜题算下来可能有近百个，基本还蛮有水平的，全通关可能只遇到个位数解法逻辑上有点牵强的。
最后的结局也挺出人意料的，还蛮喜欢这个结局安排，还有最后一个房间的安排也是。

For my #blind friends:
The picture shows a printed meme over a metallic surface, the meme is the guy pointing a butterfly tagged "Owning other people's homes and complaining about it"
The man is tagged as "Landlords" and captioned "Is this a job".
The book on his left hand was renamed "Rent Seeking".

It seems that I have to essentially mine for good dating profiles where people are honest about what they want. There are so many that are 1 word or they expect me to ask or even profiles that simply say "simp for me". Fuck that shit. Just be honest. It's not that hard. I was and am and don't regret it one bit. #Dating, #blind, #romance.

What XBOX games are people playing these days? I still have mine from a couple years ago (an Xbox One S All-Digital Edition), but don't really know what games are accessible. #blind #gaming #accessibility

Not sure whether this has been already brought up here but someone has created an #Accessibility assistant app for the VoiceMeeter application for Windows. VoiceMeeter is a bit like Audio Hijack for Mac where you can chain different inputs on a virtual soundcard, let it run through different outputs and route the audio of other programs to it just like you could with a physical mixing board. Currently I have set it up so that my microphone runs through it as well as any other app i route to it and it is all played both for me on my headset and to the world wherever I decide to stream it. The microphone is muted on my end so that I don't have to hear myself but others can hear me still. It is early days and many options aren't supported by the accessibility addon but the fact I could create an optimal config for myself is already great. Let's tell the dev how important their work is, send feedback and suggestions. Happy testing! https://github.com/onyx-and-iris/nvda-voicemeeter ##Blind #ScreenReaders #A11y #Audio #Radio

"…it's not an exception, but an accommodation."

The general rule? You cannot touch the Liberty Bell. David Brown, a blind man from California, was allowed to do just that at the offering of a Park Ranger.

It looks like Tyler Merren of ReVision Training is finally posting content specifically for strength training with resistance bands. A nice addition to the repertoire. www.revisionfitnessapp.com #blind #fitness

Is it okay to fill the chat with dozens of messages during a Zoom meeting or other videoconference?

I got my Acapela voices back on this mo-fo. It's not as responsive as Eloquence or Vocalizer might have been, but it's good enough, and not eSpeak. I’ll take it. #android #blind #accessibility

I was trying to add a potential magazine to my list.

They request signing up for their newsletter.

Which had #Captuas. Two types - both the checkbox, and the random pictures.

So. That #Magazine does not want #Blind or low vision author submissions.

Honestly, I am not 100% sure they are still open.

#Accessibility Matters.
