Amazon reported to release smart glasses for delivery drivers. It will give directions inside and outside to make deliveries easier. Let's hope they release similar glasses for consumers.

Rumors indicate that iOS 18 will support the same iPhones as in iOS 17. I believe this will include the 10 S and 10 R series and higher

Impressive the form to fly with your service dog on #Delta is still inaccessible to screen reader users. Freaking baffling what the airlines get away with. Maybe from all the stress of this the government can give me a bailout!

A wonderful article written by @chadibenedetto detailing all that went into creating the Audio Description for Netflix's 'All the Light We Cannot See' It highlights @jstrechay's immeasurable contributions as well as @missfernlulham and @Liz_IDC. mashable.com/article/netfli…

For those who use the national library service. Most new books in audio form or in their original recordings. Older books had to be reread by volunteers. The new books are professionally made. The popular audiobook section seems to have many good titles. Enjoy.

NASA voyager one and two lifted off in the mid 70s. They are now approximately 12 and 15,000,000,000 miles away. They are still communicating with their home base in Florida and still receive periodic software updates. that's 50 years of updates. What's your excuse Apple?

Creating large amounts of quantity without a serious focus on quality is an ass backwards approach to accessibility.

For those having problems with battery back ups or other devices utilizing lights to indicate when they are fully charged. Use the Be my AI feature in the Be My Eyes app. It will tell you how many lights are on, the color of the lights and if any off flashing. Now start charging

Using a two finger quadruple tap on your iOS device will quickly and easily bring you to your voice over settings page. Hope this is helpful

A wise man recently told me “Just because a company hails themselves as.. “experts in the creation of synthetic Audio Description” …that doesn’t mean they know anything about actually creating Audio Description.” Which is something I wish more prospective clients would realize

Another bug in iOS 16. While listening to a podcast with my AirPods. Screen curtain arbitrarily turns itself on. I have not touch the phone. The phone is more than an arms distance from me. Go figure. Let's hope iOS 17 gets its act together
