I should have listened to others about writing on the Mac with VoiceOver and a Braille display. Microsoft Word is sluggish, adds random characters, and makes uni work a nightmare. IA Writer was the most stable of the alternatives but still sluggish, although it didn’t insert random characters. On macOS I couldn’t find a way to convert from Markdown to Word format like I can on iOS. Nisus Writer was also better than Word but still had quirks. I have to work in a document that contains all the questions, and IA Writer did a great job of converting it to Markdown. I’m now thinking of trading the Mac in for an iPad, which I know works well with Markdown and Word conversion. I love the Mac in other respects, but this one issue is a deal breaker. I’m also having problems browsing the web using Braille. I want to use the rotor like on iOS, but it won’t work at all. Even though I know there are headings on the page, I get a ding every time I try to use the rotor. #VoiceOver #BrailleDisplay #MacAccessibility #BlindTech #MacOS #MicrosoftWord #UniLife #iPadPro

ChatGPT’s Mac app now records meetings, but it’s nearly unusable with VoiceOver.
Buttons are unlabeled, transcripts are hard to access, and navigation is broken for blind users.

OpenAI needs to include accessibility in every release. This one missed the mark.
