Question for my #Blind friends, does anyone know if iMazing on the #Windows side is #Accessible with #JFW or #NVDA? I figured I'd ask before I purchase the thing sight unseen as it were. Thanks in advance.
Ich suche für eine Freundin ein Gerät zum Kaffeekochen.
Sie ist durch Diabetes erblindet und sitzt im Rollstuhl. Ihr Küche ist nicht rollstuhlgerecht, sie hat kein gutes Gefühl in den Händen und sich durch den Umgang mit dem Wasserkocher in der Vergangenheit häufiger verbrüht.
Im Augenblick trinkt sie nur kalte und stark gesüßte Kaffeemischgetränke.
Das Gerät sollte also aus kaltem Wasser und Kaffeepulver mit einem deutlich spürbaren Schalter 1Tasse Kaffee herstellen.

The Shortcuts app in iOS 26 has many accessibility issues, including unlabeled buttons that make it difficult for blind and low vision users. We are live now sharing our findings. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA8ummcnnBE

Lol so y'all know I use AI. But seriously, some people frustrate me with how they think every blind person has AI, and wants to use it all the time. Look, I'm on Android where they make it trivial to get image descriptions, and even then in a group for blind people, I'm not really expecting people to not use Alt-text.

Then again this is the AI for the Blind group where people basically jerk off to AI, so my expectations for how blind people should treat each other are obviously too high. So I asked why a posted image doesn't have Alt-text. And the person responded with oh I can't be bothered and like you should bring your own accessibility.

And something about that really got to me. Bring my own accessibility? On iOS, I would have had to share the picture, choose one of the AI apps, wait for it to generate, and read the possibly incorrect description. And no, AI generated images aren't perfectly described by AI. On Windows, I would have had to pay cents to have it described. Or pay who even knows what anymore for JAWS and have it describe the image. On Mac, maybe VOCR would do it? I don't even know how you'd get AI descriptions with it. On Linux, well, you'd have to dig around for a script or send a link to some service.

And the kicker, the image wasn't even useful. The person said it was just like, a visual niceity or some such. So like the image might as well not even be there. It's so exhaustingly stupid and I don't even know why I'm spending this much time ranting about it, but the whole being told by a blind person that you're supposed to just AI the (probably) AI generated image just, meh whatever. The blind community™ has spoken obviously, so AI images made by blind people are in, I guess. And no Alt text. Because why help other blind people just a little? Being a stumbling block is just more fun I guess. Makes them feel more sighted I guess. Makes them feel more on top, because they can "see" or some crap. Then again this is also Facebook we're talking about, where people just don't care.

Does anyone know how to get the #orbitReader to connect on start-up? I can't get it to just connect to my phone, instead I have to go in to the braille settings every time and connect it that way. Thanks for your help. #blind #TechSupport
@EdenLinnea It makes me sad on so many levels and yet I also allow for the fact that it could bring potential greater access to books for those of us who are #Blind or otherwise #PrintDisabled. Every coin has 2 sides or something.
