Philadelphia Marathon today — but I think Chris Koch, from Alberta 🇨🇦, who ran yesterday's half, is the story worth covering. One of our sons was downtown and met him yesterday after the race. Bravo! Race on!!

Athlete with underdeveloped limbs to compete in Philly half-marathon: "I don't really see any challenge"

Chris Koch, who was born with underdeveloped arms and legs, is breaking barriers and inspiring runners across Philadelphia.

Honored. Inspired. Driven.

Last week at #CSUN2025, we had the incredible opportunity to connect, learn, and grow alongside some of the most innovative minds in accessibility and assistive technology. As a fully remote team, gathering in person is always meaningful, but being part of conversations that shape the future of our technology makes it even more special.

We’re grateful for the chance to hear from industry leaders, learn from fellow innovators, and connect with Explorers (both new and those who have been here from the start) who shape the work we do every day. Having a seat at this table is an honor, and we’re more committed than ever to making Aira the best it can be.

Thank you, Center on Disabilities at CSUN, for another unforgettable year!

From the Rundown #AI newsletter: Use #google app, but switch to #gemini before taking a snapshot of something that needs repair, and then ask how to fix.

A great #adaptivetech use case for those of us who struggle to translate visual info into words. Now we can just take a pic!

AI isn't just about automation; it's about amplifying accessibility. 📢👁️ By harnessing AI, we can create tools that adapt to the diverse needs of the blind community. #AdaptiveTech #AccessibilityWins
🛠️ Adaptive technology helps users overcome specific challenges. Examples: text-to-speech software (e.g., NaturalReader, ReadSpeaker), alternative input devices, and hearing aids like ReSound. #AdaptiveTech #Empowerment #Disability

Question about #ScreenReader usage from someone who knows little:
Can you set custom sounds for characters? For instance, could one choose to replace the text for an emoji like 🎉 with a sound effect instead?
