Still fantastic to see all the hard work that continues to go in to the Desmos Calculators for Mac, iOS, Android, Windows etc and associated screen readers - desmos.com/accessibility#jaws-…
As exciting as the new features are, please remember that this is primarily for testing. Help us make this release as smooth as possible by directing your feedback to the Fedora Quality Team (info in the article).
Please also help to circulate this in the accessibility community as we want to catch any bugs related to their needs as soon as possible.
Lots of equations in my data science class are presented in LaTeX. Which, as it turns out, is wild for screen readers. So now, in order to understand the actual equation, I must first decode it, which means I must learn this language. search.app/1swNxfFDb2Af6yf26
@miki So far it feels like my biggest nightmare, but that's partially because I just learned what it was yesterday and I need to study it. We'll see how it goes.
My entire math education since the last year of middle school, including high school and college, was almost entirely LaTeX based. It may unironically be the language I've actually written (and copied) the most characters in.
hey so just to let people in the US know, if you are on SSI and have a disability that began before age 26 (46 as of 1st Jan 2026) you can apply for an ABLE account. this account will let you have up to $100,000 without losing your SSI.
Edit: per @MindmeshLink the requirements are SSI, SSDI, *or* a Doctors Note, if that helps!
I really, truly can not express how mind-blowing this Windwalker title anthem is. This is a stock Apple ][ running at 1 MHz. No third-party sound card. Just the built-in $C030 speaker that blips.
@kranzkrone and, more important even, had to take action. They should have offered compensation, too, imho, as they can hardly claim it was an accident. Still good they acted, and did not simply try to sit it out.
JAWS 2025 public beta is now available for testing. A few notes about this if people are trying the public beta.
Hartgen Consultancy products are not supported as part of this test beta cycle.
On a personal note, I do think there are some very rough edges with this public beta. Two good examples would be: 1. There are times when, if you move to the desktop, the response time of JAWS reporting the focus is significantly slower than JAWS 2024. This has been reported by me a number of times.
2. If you open up Winamp, and press Insert+T to read the song title and artist of a radio station which is playing, the URL for the stream is announced instead.
For these reasons and a few others, I am not using version 2025 for my day-to-day usage with work or even pleasure. But that is what the beta process is about; to report such findings.
