A small story about accessibility at school:

Our campus map notes that there are 82 buildings w/accessible entrance (which I think they define as a level entrance and push button opener).

Only 41 buildings on campus have elevators (some of which, ime, are often broken).

Only 27 of those buildings have a wheelchair-accessible bathroom.

The campus map lists 154 buildings in total.

So that's ... 17% of the buildings accessible for people who might need to pee? #accessibility #access

I am looking for a tablet based solution that ideally satisfies the following constraints for a hard of hearing person:

1. high quality speech transcription
2. works for *groups of speakers*
3. ideally different speakers are colour coded
4. simple to use & easy to read full screen display
5. also works offline

I can satisfy some of these with tools I know of, but not all -most readily droppable features are 5 and 3.

any suggestions?

You know what's even more helpful than posting a text post as a screenshot and then not including alt text?

When the text in the screenshot is dark purple on a dark gray or black background.

Why is this such a common color combination on Tumblr?

Fortunately, Tumblr also has a culture of people coming along and adding image descriptions to other people's posts.
