Hello! I don't post much. Sometimes I reply to others. This is mainly for following people, not posting. Follow me anyway if you like.
This was quite amusing. BeSTspeech would work well as a wolf simulator.

A member of my extended family is working on an Android app designed to provide good audio access to Project Gutenberg. To submit it to the Google Play store, he needs at least 20 testers to use the app regularly for 14 days. Testers can be blind or sighted, and both are wanted so their experiences can be compared. I promised to post about it here because blind users and champions of accessibility seem well-represented on the Fediverse, so please spread it around.

If you are interested in volunteering to test the app, which he hopes to have ready for you in about a week, email Frank:

Here is a link to the project's github space with a README section: https://github.com/ducrestfd/GutenbergWebAccess

@DavidGoldfield Neat! I remember these. Still trying to trakc down where the music is from too.
Boosts appreciated. Going to be meeting with the devs from Suno AI to discuss the accessibility of the site. What issues should I point out? What are people's major problems with the site?

Boosts appreciated: I am working on an #accessibility wiki, because info on accessibility for #blind people is fragmented. It is not ready for public release, but I would like to invite volunteers to help me improve the site. I need to get web devs, server maintainers, moderators, writers, and whoever else would be able to contribute. Please send me a DM if you're interested.
For my disabled followers, what do you consider when thinking about inclusive swag? Swag in this case meaning t-shirts, coffee mugs, backpacks, stickers, etc. that you acquire through conferences, work, or other places.
I struggle to name what I look for in swag for it to be inclusive as a blind person; I think the most I'd look for is cool tactile design on t-shirts and perhaps embossed designs on stickers. But even that's a stretch; I've never felt strongly enough to remotely consider this, and that's why I'm here! I also consider things like Braille to be a novelty, and don't feel excluded when it doesn't exist. In a nutshell--I don't really care. But I'm sure someone out there does. Surely there's at least one of you.
Please boost for reach.
