Perspective Transcribe was built with VoiceOver accessibility as a core requirement, not an afterthought. On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we are reminded that accessible design benefits everyone. What does accessibility mean to you?

Ooh so now I have a little Raspberry Pi built into a keyboard called the Raspberry Pi 500+ (I went for the mechanical version because why not) and its set up to remote desktop into my PC. No mouse, no monitor. Only thing is it needs USB power always - no battery, and you do need either bluetooth or wired earbuds as there is no speaker. I chose wired. But really handy as a downstairs sofa PC controller! #blind #blindtech #linux

The IF function in Excel takes in a logical expression, checks whether the expression is true, then returns custom outputs for the two outcomes.
=IF(logical_expression, output_if_true, output_if_false)

The logical expression can be a simple statement such as 1>2 or a condition such as B2=1. If the expression is true, IF will return output_if_true. Otherwise, it will return output_if_false. IF is a key function in creating sophisticated formulas. For instance, you can nest multiple IF functions inside each other to create multiple conditions.
Example: The formula below calls IF to check whether the sum of B2 to B11 is greater than 40,000. If the condition is met, IF returns Yes. Otherwise, it returns No.
=IF(SUM(B2:B11)>40000, "Yes", "No")

Here you go:

The IF function in Excel checks whether a condition is true and returns different results based on the answer. The syntax is:
=IF(logical_expression, output_if_true, output_if_false)
For example, this formula checks whether the sum of B2 through B11 is greater than 40,000. If it is, it returns Yes. If not, it returns No:
=IF(SUM(B2:B11)>40000, "Yes", "No")
You can also nest multiple IF functions inside each other to handle more complex conditions. It is one of the building blocks of more advanced Excel formulas.

Today we at BITS celebrate the birthday of the legendary Stevie Wonder, whose music has inspired generations of people throughout the world.

As a #Blind artist, Stevie Wonder has long demonstrated how technology can empower creativity, independence, and connection. Through accessible instruments, recording technology, adaptive tools, and innovation, he has continued sharing his artistry with us all while helping to reshape perceptions of blindness and possibility.

At BITS, we recognize and celebrate the important role technology plays in expanding opportunities for blind and low vision people in every field, including music and the arts.

Happy Birthday, Stevie Wonder, and thank you for the inspiration you continue to bring to so many.

If your Alt+Tab list is getting out of control, virtual desktops on Windows can help. Spread your work across multiple desktops -- one for email, one for research, one for whatever else you have going -- and each desktop keeps its own set of open windows. Less clutter, easier navigation.

Here are the shortcuts to get started:

Windows key + Ctrl + D: Create a new virtual desktop. Windows key + Ctrl + Right arrow: Move to the next desktop. Windows key + Ctrl + Left arrow: Move to the previous desktop. Windows key + Ctrl + F4: Close the current desktop.

Press Windows key + Tab to open Task View, where you can see all your desktops and running apps at once. From there, press Shift + F10 on any running app to get the option to move it to a different desktop.
