Hello, my name is Taylor Arndt from Austin, Texas. I am a Freelance Accessibility Specialist and a blind screenreader user, dedicated to championing an inclusive digital world. Alongside this, I craft websites using WordPress. Outside of work, I'm an avid swimmer and enjoy indulging in various crafts. My best moments are often spent with friends in the heart of ATX.

Taylor’s Teardowns are back. In 2020, I reviewed products for accessibility as a blind user—and people loved it. Now in 2025, I'm doing full accessibility reviews, public on YouTube with blog posts for each. Sponsored teardowns start at $20 for an intro and include honest, real-world feedback. Perfect for apps, websites, and AI tools made for the public. Want yours reviewed? Get in touch. #Accessibility #A11y #BlindTech

ChatGPT’s Mac app now records meetings, but it’s nearly unusable with VoiceOver.
Buttons are unlabeled, transcripts are hard to access, and navigation is broken for blind users.

OpenAI needs to include accessibility in every release. This one missed the mark.

I'll demo ViddyScribe, a tool that lets creators embed audio descriptions directly into video files—essential for blind and low vision users.
As a blind creator, I found ViddyScribe intuitive, powerful, and screen reader-friendly.

Many apps aren’t built for blind or low vision users—but we’re changing that. At Techopolis Online Solutions, we build accessible iOS and Android apps that work with screen readers, follow clear design standards, and include smart features powered by AI. If you’ve struggled with apps that don’t include you, we’d love to help. Learn more at: https://www.techopolisonline.com/services

Many mobile apps unintentionally exclude users relying on screen readers, dynamic text & switch controls. In my work at Techopolis, I help teams build apps that everyone can use. Accessibility isn’t extra—it’s better design. #Accessibility #AppDev
