An image analyzing LLM that provides alt-text would be imminently useful all across the internet.
Is #LLM still bad when its used for #disability and #assistivetechnology?
For those using Open Shell on Windows, is there a way to revert back to the Windows 11-style Start menu layout? Switching to the XP layout is really cool — brings back a lot of memories — and I remember using it back in the day. Really nice experience. Just curious if there's a way to keep the Windows 11 look while still using Open Shell.

How AI-powered smart glasses could transform dementia care by 2027
I’m excited to be joining an upcoming Wireless Wednesday session on April 8th with the CNIB to talk all things AI and accessibility. We’ll dig into what’s actually changing right now for blind and low vision users — from real-world AI tools to the apps worth your time — followed by a live Q&A where you can ask anything.
These sessions are open, relaxed, and always full of great conversation with the community.
It all happens as part of CNIB’s Wireless Wednesday (1–3pm PT, national Zoom event)

Would love to see some familiar names in there! #blind #BlindTech #AssistiveTechnology #CNIB
Are you new to assistive technology? Want to get more out of your smart device or computer? This Zoom workshop is a 2 for 1! The first hour is devoted to structured learning – focusing on basics and beginner topics. Later on, we'll have a volunteer-led, tech-focused Q&A discussion group dealing with a wide range of questions. Come prepared to swap tips and tricks, share about your favorite apps, help one another and strengthen your own skills in the process. Join us while we figure it out – together! Second and fourth Wednesday of every month from 1 to 3 p.m. Pacific Time on Zoom.
Is it possible to jump between chapters in Castro? I’m trying to figure it out, but I’m not seeing any buttons or controls in the player to move between chapters. Am I missing something, or is this not currently supported?
Would love to know how others are handling this, especially from an accessibility standpoint.

Good news for blind and low vision users. The latest Facebook update appears to have fixed the back button issue. Navigation is feeling much smoother and more reliable again with VoiceOver.
Really glad to see this improvement. Accessibility fixes like this make a big difference in everyday use.
If you were struggling with the back button before, it might be worth updating and trying again.
