@mainmenu Happy to learn about braille template for Amazon oven. I am loving the oven! Peeps should keep in mind that using this smart oven has a learning curve! Trust the instructions! Works great with Alexa but accessing physical buttons in conjunction gives better access!
Tune into Main Menu tonight! We have exciting news to share about the future of Main Menu + the resurrection of something from Main Menu's past. All of us gathered around the table to bring it to you and, of course, we brought new toys to discuss. 9PM ET — acbradio.org/mainstream
Doing some last-minute shopping? Then, the IAC and Main Menu have got you covered. Tune in tonight to a special edition of Main Menu and hear about accessibility, appliances and other electronics, and more.
This week on Main Menu, we munch our way through iOS, Android, tech we’re hoping to get, and, what do ya know, food. After all, Thanksgiving is around the corner. It’s another in our roundtable discussions, filled with a bit of everything tech & more. — acbradio.org/mainstream
Get ready for team work on tonight’s Main Menu! We have another in @MSFTEnable’s Accessibility Webinar Series — on Microsoft Teams — a digital hub that puts apps, conversations, and content all in one place for an inclusive, collaborative experience.
What is Android Q? What is the Apple Event? Those are the topics on tonight’s Main Menu! We bring to you another of one of our roundtables and “round it up” for you. Other tech makes its way into the discussion, too. 9PM Eastern, be there! — acbradio.org/mainstream

It’s a veritable Summer Picnic on tonight’s Main Menu! First, we continue where we left off with the Q&A portion of the TechTalk presentation on Windows 10. Then, Debbie Hazelton joins Jeff, Paul & Jenine to feast on some amazing news from Aira, Envision AI & ACB Radio.
Main Menu is on now! Learn about improvements to low vision and Narrator in Windows 10 with Jeff Bishop, Mariah Mooon, and Jeremy Curry.
Tonight, we are happy to bring to you another in @MSFTEnable’s Accessibility Webinar series! In this segment, @JeffBishop and the team explain and demo how Narrator keeps getting better and better! These new features come in the Windows 10 Spring Update (Ver. 1903).
Be quick, as this app is free for the next 24 hours only. After this it will be $4.99. It also looks like a great update that people will want to try.

It was incredibly neat how Sarah and Dean sounded genuinely excited at being able to share and discuss the accessibility enhancements they've been working on. Apple might not always be perfect, but this interview makes it hard to question the commitment of its Accessibility Team.

What are we doing on Main Menu this week? No, not a question we ask each time, but this week, we did. A whirlwind of tech is the result. First, we start out hearing about the great program ACB’s Friends in Art has planned in July.
