Being a blind student isn't easy.
Making a difference for kids in school, enables them to make a difference as adults in their community. Does your school have a student who could benefit from a screen reader? And a budget which could benefit from it being FREE? We have the solution!

Hey everyone!
Quick question for any blind or visually impaired users out there—how’s the accessibility of Sonos products these days? Especially the Sonos app? Last time I checked, it had some accessibility issues. Just wondering if things have improved. Can you fully use it with VoiceOver or TalkBack?
Would love to hear your experience!

Screen reader HTML support tables

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit halbwegs einfach, ohne extrem teure Software, barrierefreie PDF Dokumente zu erstellen?
Word Dokumente sind einfach nicht immer praktikabel, aber es geht mir mittlerweile extrem gegen den Strich ein Dokument zu erstellen, dass von so vielen Menschen nicht ohne große Probleme gelesen werden kann. Gerade im Arbeitskontext ist das einfach zu wichtig.
Hat jemand Tipps/ Erfahrungen?

Herzlich willkommen hier, ich wünsche Euch gutes Vernetzen und habe eine Bitte:
Bittet tröötet #inklusiv!
Da mir etliche #ScreenReader Nutzende folgen, kann ich nur Trööts boosten, an deren enthaltenen Bildern jeweils eine #BildBeschreibung eingetragen wurde:
Ohne einen solchen #AltText sagt denen nämlich der Reader nur das eine Wort:
»Bild«
Immer dran denken: #Inklusion ist KEIN "nice to have", sondern Voraussetzung für unsere lebenswerte Gesellschaft.

The weather's cloudy a lukewarm. Perfect for today's stream where I create a "yes, but no" resource for everyone who tells me to just switch to #linux :P
Nah but seriously we'll look at a number of first-time experiences (install, initial boot into the OS ec.) of various popular and less popular distros. I will comment on the #accessibility considerations primarily for #screenReader users and I'm sure other things'll come up. See you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed around 3 PM EST/8P BST/9pm CEST over at https://twitch.tv/ic_null or https://youtube.com/@blindlyCoding. My #peertube account is, unfortunately, not approved yet :) #selfPromo #tech #foss #selfHosting #homeLab #stream #ubuntu #debian #fedora #elementaryOs #kaliLinux #blind
Amiyah is a new PC user who really likes NVDA Remote Access! "It helps when I don’t know how to download stuff on my computer. or when I’m stuck on something, my friends can connect and help me out. I like that it’s free and also it helps other blind people so once again thank you.”
Thank you Amiyah! Have you tried NVDA Remote Access yet? It's new in NVDA 2025.1! https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2025-1-2/

Re this
Current status: preparing a bunch of #linux ISOs so we can look at installers, first-time experience and a bit of usage from a #blind, #screenReader user perspective on this saturday's stream. hey @danirabbit #Elementary 8's gonna be first in line. Also looking at #kaliLinux , #debian, #fedora, #ubuntu and #LinuxMint #justSwitchToLinux #justWatchMeTry #letsJustSeeIfItEvenLetsMe :P

#Frage bzgl. #accessibility #screenreader
Wenn jemand eine Website per Screenreader benutzt (Desktop), wird dann (eher) die Tastatur oder die Maus benutzt, um die einzelnen Textblöcke vorlesen zu lassen? Habe gerade das Problem, dass #nvda beim Testen unterschiedlich reagiert.
As my glasses have gotten more astigmatism'y and my font size larger and my reliance on alt texts to know who the heck that popstar in the image is I've started to wonder ...
Are there #programming languages designed to be written via a #screenreader? I'd expect it to be a line oriented thing, with short-to-pronounce keywords... maybe something with roots in the printing terminal age?
Irgendwie muss ich gerade an @wwsiv denken, das nehm ich zum Anlass, diese Podcastfolge mit mir nochmal zu teilen. https://wowirsindistvorne.show/barrierefreiheit-gaming-und-der-ganze-rest-mit-svenja/ #A11Y #Gaming #blind #Screenreader
Was nimmt man als auf ScreenReader angewiesene denn so, um unter Windows VMS aufzusetzen? Dualboot ist wahrscheinlich blind nicht allein möglich und für von Sticks oder externen Festplatten booten müsste ich ans Bios ran. #ScreenReader #A11Y #blind
And after I posted I looked at that website more closely and saw that many of the images are not accessible (no alt text).
Sorry about that!
It looks like a useful website for folks who need info on accessible nature trails, but I don't know how helpful it is for folks who use screen readers.
People regularly ask me about the benefits of being a coder. One of them is the ability to speed through live tennis scores from the #keyboard using a #screenreader.
