I am a 40 something animal trainer self-taught behavior specialist. I have many years of experience with animals and with their training and behavior. I also have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which is why my profile is rambling. I am also blind and into crafting

#Joke Saw this on FB.
I was sitting here eating lunch when I realized: cottage cheese is not actually, in reality, a cheese. It's just a curd to me.

Disgustink. A seriously awful and nausiating odour. "My friend just came out of the bathroom, the smell that followed them was absolutely disgustink!"

So, I've noticed a lot of uses of made up words on my timeline. Creativity is awesome, and creative wordSmithing is totally cool.. So, what is your favourite made up word and it's definition, so the rest of the class can understand it.

@BlindGordon or closed caption... yeah, even that's more consistant these days.

If you are blind and have multiple computers, and especially if you live on the edge and don't have a monitor hooked up to one of those computers, having a capture card really is a game changer.
I have a cheap one that I need to replace. But even with that cheap one, I was just able to call Aira from my laptop and select the capture card as my video device, rather than my camera.
Then, I hooked the capture card up to a mini PC that needed an OS reinstall, and the Aira agent was able to read the display output in real time.
From that point, it took us about 30 seconds to get into the boot menu of the mini PC and select the USB drive.
Even without account for Aira, having a way to reliably capture the output of a computer is infinitely useful. All you need is an app that can take a picture or video from that device and interpret it as-needed. That could be an OCR reader, an AI describer like Be My Eyes, or a calling app so you can ask a friend to look at it.
It certainly beats needing to position the camera in front of a screen, and in the case of the mini PC, it saves me from having to set up a screen in the first place.
