I'm a #blind guy. I love running and playing in #TTRPG, #Python (programming, snakes, and comedy group), #cats, #dogs, and vegetating out to a good book, movie, or TV show. Thanks to a wonderfully supportive girlfriend, the breaking of bad habits, and the adoption of good habits, life is good!

News from #Microsoft:

More logical navigation through Word documents for screen readers

There is a new setting (now in Office 365) which "allows you to use the up and down arrow keys to move through all the content in your document based on the logical reading order." - this will be a big improvement for situations including:
- Multi-column pages
- Text wrapped around images
- multi-page view

Sysadmins/techs, if you or a user is having trouble logging into Gmail via classic Outlook, close the app and remove the credentials from Windows Credential Manager. You should then be prompted to sign in the next time you open Outlook, after which it should work as expected.
Spent hours troubleshooting this issue for a client today, and this did the trick. Shoutout to Google Workspace support for the pointer. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/users-get-errors-0x800ccc0e-0x800ccc0f-synchronizing-gmail-and-yahoo-accounts-in-classic-outlook-e5a7b684-7c5c-4848-ab2d-d48291451f67

So, please boost this for reach but I need some good banking apps that do good check scanning for blind/low vision users that use Voiceover or Talkback primarily. I'm looking for good verbal prompts for alignment, or front/back notifications or even if it tells you if it is upside down or not. This should apply to phone based apps only and only ones that do this well. Please give me the name and accessibility features of the check scanning bits please. This is work adjacent for me. Thanks!
