@vick21 @Thomas_domville Unfortunately, good maps is not available in my country, so I suppose Thomas will share some enlightenment.
AnonyMouseIf you're searching for a substitute for Microsoft Soundscape, then you need not search any longer! VoiceVista is an excellent choice that operates globally, and the best part is that it's absolutely free to utilize. Personally, I adore the interface design, and you won't have to wait for Openscape to be launched.

Jonathan MosenA guy walks into a doctor’s office and says he needs help because he can’t seem to stop stealing iPads. The doctor says, “it’s more common than you realise. Let me give you some tablets to take”.
@Amaterasu Congratulations! And good luck on the exam.
Mastodon MigrationDo you have a friend or family member who is not on Mastodon?
And you are thinking, "love to introduce them, but the whole multiple servers thing... 🤔"
Well, you are in luck.
A new site makes joining Mastodon a snap >>> https://spreadmastodon.org/
In minutes, #newbies will be up and running on mastodon.social (other instances coming soon).
@spreadmastodon has been developed by @tchambers and his team, so you know it's safe to recommend.
Let's do this!
Hello! I would like to invite everyone to join the #Accessible #Apple community on Discord. This server is dedicated to current and future #blind and/or #VisuallyImpaired users of #iPhone, #Mac, #Apple Watch and other #Apple products who would like to get the most out of their devices. If that's something you are interested in, give us a shot!!

Now to some FAQ that I guess will be asked over and over.
Q: There's only one administrator and that's you.
A: Yeah, but there's no point as there's literally noone else there, yet.
Q: Where are the rules?
A: They are not existent yet. Just please be a human.
Q: What's the point if there's AppleVis?
A: AppleVis was, and still is a great resource if it comes to stuff like APp directories, curated list of resources, podcasts ETC, however the forum features are suboptimal, especially for mobile usage. I have spoken to many people who are newcomers to the #Apple ecosystem and using the AppleVis website turned out to be harder than using their shiny new device itself.
Please keep in mind that the server is in a test stage, many things can happen, including channel deletions/additions, moderation appointments or server deletion in case there's no real interest. If you have any suggestions how could I improve it or if you would like to help me moderate, please reach out.
I kindly ask everyone to boost it to gauge interest. #accessibility #a11y #blind
@hartgenconsult Thank you for revisiting the course and offering the update with no additional cost! Highly appreciate it!
Have just heard that apparently apple is making the iOS developer beta free for everyone.
Absolutely game changing because it means that a lot more people can test for #Accessibility bugs.
This is the 9to5Mac article on this.
