Can you use ChatGPT to help make ChatGPT more accessible? We asked the tool that very question, and wrote about what happened. Read the full article: intopia.digital/articles/using… #a11y #ChatGPT #accessibility

I'm working with an organisation who wants to offer professional remote assistance for different user groups in German-speaking countries and wonder what happened to @airaio's expansion plans. Are there perhaps already efforts to establish Aira in Europe? #VisualInterpreting

I have no problem with not seeing anything. But with how I am seen. #blindpride

Who among you blind screen reader users is also bothered by Microsoft's Windows reserving more and more keyboard shortcuts for itself? I would like to customize system-wide hot keys to make better use of software like TW Blue or Chicken Nugget, for example. @MSFTEnable

What do Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Samsung, Mozilla, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, WhatsApp, Skype, Zoom, Webex, Dropbox, etc. have in common? They all strive for more #accessibility. In short #a11y. Information on this can often be found on their .com/accessibility page.

Hey @OpenAtMicrosoft, if Microsoft does acquire Nuance, could you open-source the ETI-Eloquence text-to-speech engine that Nuance owns? It has some loyal fans in the blind community, despite being a dead code base, e.g. no 64-bit Android port. Would be good PR. cc @MSFTEnable

It would be good if @Microsoft doesn’t run #voice input/output to the ground. A good start would be if they do some active development on my favourite #TTS “ETI Eloquence”. #a11y

For sighted people, Eloquence may sound bad, but for many blind not. For us it is like a very good "audio screen". Even if it's set very fast, it's still very good to understand. I'm used to reading both German and English text with this text-to-speech engine. Please, @MSFTEnable

Blind people are like Alexa: They don't see you. They just hear you.

There's an evolutionary reason why we're afraid of the dark. Though we don’t technically need this fear, it's still there, and it's confusing. sciencealert.com/here-s-the-evo…

I think what distinguishes blind people from other stigmatized groups is that all people at all times, already in their childhood, have experienced the strong fear of not being able to see when it was dark. This experience is deeply engraved in the minds of many. 4/x

A great read by @BerkeleyBlink for anyone who wants to build or design technology for Blind people (or really, for people with any kind of disability): medium.com/@berkeleyblink… Thank you, @clb5590 for recommending this article! A couple quotes I particularly liked:

Living in the dark: Before there was always and everywhere light, all humans were blind or visually impaired for several hours a day at all times. @arekirch describes what this led to: theguardian.com/books/2005/jul… patricktreardon.com/book-review-at…

Today there is always and everywhere light. The primal fear of being blind in the dark is an evolutionary heritage. If you want to understand why lightless nights were really dangerous for humans in the past, you should read this book from @arekirch: amazon.com/At-Days-Close-…
