@acarson Thank you for posting this. I am blind myself and while presenting accessibility to sighted people I love breaking it down to those simple everyday things I do thanks to my assistive technology. In fact, I love listening to podcasts demonstrating how people who are blind accomplish everyday tasks using screen readers. It's somehow satisfying hearing someone at the other end of the world navigate to their favourite restaurant, book a weekend trip and, for good measure, produce a fully-fledged radio show, all with the sounds of the speech synthesizer in the foreground. Perhaps advocates of AI solutions should listen to more of those short, Apple-style presentations.
