Calling All Blind and Low Vision Users!

Exciting news! I’ve reached out to Apple Accessibility, and they’re on board to collaborate with us. They’ve asked me to put together a team so we can work directly with their team and engineers.

Are you passionate about improving accessibility features for blind and low vision users? Do you use VoiceOver, Zoom, or other low vision features on your devices? We need your help!

We’re looking for individuals who are interested in providing feedback and testing new features from our point of view. Your input will be invaluable in making technology more accessible for everyone.

If you’re interested in participating, please fill out the form below:

Let’s make a difference together!
Feel free to share this post.

Best,
Matthew Whitaker

@JEkis @blindelectron You have to use OCR depending on what device you are using. I didn’t know Microsoft changed that.

@JEkis @blindelectron Yeah the stars didn’t trigger the validation on iOs using VoiceOver unless you did a double tap and hold.

@menelion The main focus will be on Mac OS, but I'll make sure we have space to mention IOS and iPad OS.

Maybe try to convince them to have another team and/or another session, because the most used pair in the blind community is Windows and iOS don't trust me on word, search for WebAim survey results.

@menelion Nitpicking, but webaim is extremely US centric, Android is probably even more popular than that, but the kind of people who use it aren't the kind of people who can fill out Webaim, usually due to language differences.

@miki I know, but we're talking Apple here. iOS is way, way more popular than Mac, although I do acknowledge Mac needs much love.
