  Okay y'all I don't get it. Some one makes a few old video games accessible, uses NVDA to speak. User comes on and is like well since it doesn’t work with JAWS, it isn’t accessible to everyone. And then some one else is like well NVDA is free. And then dude comes out with well since I paid for my screen reader, I should be denied access? And y'all I just don't get it. Like what the crap man. How is a free screen reader denying you access? I mean it's free. Everything's fre...

  Ugh, stupid scammers! So I get this message on Telegram, person says Hi. I don't know why they added me but it might be from a group, so I say hi. Then they hit me with this junk. Dear, do you want to have sex? My sister has a strong sexual desire. And I'm like ugh, no! Like even if she was real I don't have it in me to be constantly wanting that. Like that only happens in particular contexts or with particular people. Anyway, their charisma check failed, this turn.

  So like is it just me, or are blind people even more satisfied with apps written by and for blind people than apps made by sighted people for the all pervasive "everyone?” Just came across a post where a person tried a podcast app by another person, and found it even better than anything else they've tried. I mean it makes sense to me, but is it just me?

  iOS 27 Beta 5. Item description can now describe anything in voiceover focus. Live recognition Scene mode now describes continuously with context, so it just says what's changed instead of reading everything over and over again. Now that's magical! Imagine having that in a pair of glasses, either on-device or running on a connected iPhone. #accessibility #blind #iOS

  Well y'all, Linux stuff is happening fast. Cthulhu is a fork of Orca with like lots of stuff. Wine runs Windows programs on Linux. If Cthulhu is running, the Wine Accessibility plugin is enabled, and the helper package is installed, you should only need to launch the Wine or Proton program normally. Cthulhu will automatically: - Detect the active Wine/Proton prefix. - Start the helper inside that prefix. - Read supported standard Windows controls. - Accept speech requests from p...

  From the Orca mailing list, new extension! Hi everyone, With Orca's new extension support, I wanted to share a small extension I've ported from the NVDA ecosystem. Instant Translate for Orca brings quick, on-demand text translation to Orca. The project is based on the Instant Translate add-on for NVDA, adapted to work with Orca's extension API. Some highlights: Translate selected or focused text without leaving your current application. Designed to integrate naturally with the Orca...

  So, there's this super secret accessibility feature in iOS 27, that Apple doesn't want you to know about! It's hidden down deep, in the depths of the Action button settings. And in this article, I'll uncover what is hidden, for all my followers! iOS 27 is the 20th release of iOS, the operating system for your iPhone. It's biggest feature will be a new and revamped Siri, which uses a customized and private version of Google's Gemini AI LLM model, running on Apple's Pr...

  I played Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4 (PS2 mod of Tenkaichi 3) on my iPhone today. It ran perfectly, was practically no lag on my AirPods Pro 3, and the only issue is no vibration on the iPhone. But if you play with a controller that already has a vibration motor, it'll vibrate for you. I talked to the devs and they're gonna try to work on vibration and a few VO fixes in the game view. https://ios.armsx2.net/ #games #gaming #accessibility #sideload #ps2 #armsx2 #iOS #blind

Like, lol they literally just put AI in there cause they know us blink blinks are mostly all about that AI, no trebble. https://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/social-...

  @mdione@en.osm.town @Laztheinfamous@dice.camp Can you describe the image? I feel like you wouldn't like it if I sent it to AI to be described. :)
