@Woody my brother MC – J6 80 D W. Multifunction Printer has decided to no longer want to work. So I’m looking to buy a new multifunctional printer. Any experience or comments on accessible printers i.e. that jaws and NVDA work well with their windows software suite? The brother controlcentre4tool I found was not that accessible.

I recently retired after working for over 35 years in an HR function in a large organization including both technical and leadership roles. Still open to some part time short term work depending if it suits me. I’m legally blind and live in Perth Western Australia. I’m interested in greater involvement #Blind advocacy particularly around online and app #accessibility. I love all the new tech knowing that success means you need high tech high touch to ensure it works for the customer base – that
Will the recently introduced social media ban in Australia mean that blind and low vision children under the age of 16 won’t be able to use the Meta Rayban glasses?
Last night I used #BeMyAI to help some sided colleagues on holiday to get their air conditioner to work correctly, Understand how to use there dishwasher and how to use the induction cooktop in their holiday rental. All bye just taking photos and asking for the instructions with simple questions. Now I could’ve used #ChatGPT or #Gemini and that’s what I told them they could do in the future. Quicker than Google and solving simple everyday problems. Not rocket science I know but an every day use of AI that some people forget about.
It was a real case of the blind leading the blind!

Tried out the new #Meta live translation feature on the Ray-Ban glasses yesterday with my wife who speaks fluent French. Worked pretty well. Only issue that I can see is that it picks up everything and I guess that could be a little bit confusing when you’re out in a busy place. Anyone else tried to use the translation feature?
Has anyone use the #Omron connect app and is it accessible. This is an app for blood pressure monitor. Feedback appreciated, thank you.
Go you mighty Eagles
Today I shared my first photo directly from my #Meta Ray:Bands to #Instagram. Very easy experience and the photo was good. Very happy with that one.
@Woody have been playing around a little with the Meta Ray-Bans. I’ve just posted a method that I’ve used to get it to read the entire text on a page. Not perfect as it’s a two-step approach but at least it gave the whole text.
You have to ask Meta look and tell me what you say and wait for the summary to complete which is a little painful.
Then I asked Meta without saying hey Meta because you can still do that in the same conversation, read this to me exactly how it is written. It then said extracted text and read the page. Might be worth playing around a bit but that seem to work for me. Cheers.
