Konferencja Zero Project 2026

Aira’s integration with AI glasses from Meta is coming soon, bringing hands-free access to professional Visual Interpreting.

Many Explorers already got an early look at CSUN, trying the experience in real time.

In this Blind Abilities podcast, Aira's Jenine Stanley shares what this shift means and how it works, from simple voice-activated calls to features like zoom, photo capture, and GPS-supported navigation.

How Accessible Are AI Tools and Who Can Use Them

If you’re having trouble with the latest Facebook update, here’s a quick workaround that’s been helping me:

Do a double tap and hold, then slide your finger to the right. Make sure your focus is on the text of the post or the person’s profile picture at the top before doing the gesture.

It’s been working pretty consistently on my end. Feel free to share this anywhere it might help others.

What a week at CSUN 2026 ✨

We loved connecting with so many Explorers, meeting new faces, and giving away a lot of Aira T-shirts along the way.

We shared our upcoming integration with the AI glasses from Meta, enabling hands-free Visual Interpreting through voice and camera interactions.

This integration was featured on the latest episode of DoubleTap alongside other innovations shaping the future.

Interesting nvda add-on from Tony Gebhard, Interactive NVDA screen reader training add-on — guided, hands-on lessons built into NVDA
Submitted for addon store review, you can check out the Github repo here,
https://github.com/tonygeb23/nvdaCoach-
Thrilled to share something I've been building: NVDA Coach is now available —

a free, interactive training add-on for the NVDA screen reader. 🎉

As an assistive technology instructor, I've worked with a lot of people who are

just starting out with screen readers. The hardest part isn't finding the right

resource — it's the gap between reading about a command and actually using it.

NVDA Coach closes that gap.

Instead of reading a manual, students practice real NVDA commands step by step,

inside NVDA itself, with spoken instructions and instant feedback.

📚 Version 1.0.0 includes 24 lessons across three chapters:

→ Getting Started — the 10 essential commands every beginner needs

→ Reading and Moving Through Text — character, word, line, and selection navigation

→ Browse Mode and Web Navigation — heading, link, form, and landmark navigation

What makes it different:

✅ Everything happens inside NVDA — no PDFs, no videos, no switching context

✅ Live practice forms for hands-on Tab and control navigation

✅ Practice text embedded directly in the lesson window for reading drills

✅ A practice web page auto-opens for browse mode lessons

✅ Completely free. No account. No internet required after install.

✅ Built for beginners, usable independently or with an instructor

If you work with people who are learning NVDA, or if you're learning yourself,

I'd love for you to try it and share it with anyone who might benefit.

This is a beta release with plenty of room for feedback, comments, and suggestions. Please feel free to flood my email inbox. :)
