Frequently, when refreshable braille displays are discussed, someone asserts that they're too expensive. Prices have actually reduced in the last few decades at both the low and the high ends of functionality. I think it's time for those concerned about the cost of this technology to grasp the very real possibility that there will be no technological fix. Braille devices may well remain expensive, specialized products, with quality and capabilities increasing with price. If this is so, attention should be turned from cost reduction to cost shifting - ensuring that someone other than the end user pays for the hardware and the maintenance. Ultimately, I think greater public funding is justified in countries in which it is presently inadequate, but private sources of support can be called upon as well.

I’m diving into Reddit for the first time and decided to start with the Dystopia app, which is designed to be more accessible for blind users. I’ve found the r/Blind subreddit, and it seems like a great place to connect with others, but I’m still figuring out how to post on there. If anyone has tips or guidance on how to navigate the process, I’d really appreciate the help!

I’m excited to explore Reddit and see what the community has to offer. Any advice for a first-time user would be awesome!

Not sure if I've talked about this here, but there are like, tons of stuff here. I'm gonna try that Linux distro through Crostini on my old ChromeBook that I don't do anything else with anymore. The VM's over the Internet are really cool too! The AT Museum is cool. And I'm curious to see if the Windows 2000/XP on **Android** works. That'd be trippy.

The maintainer of the Orca screen reader, Joanie Diggs, has made noteworthy enhancements in recent weeks. I mention them here for the benefit of those who are not following these developments or who are not regular Linux screen reader users.
Many of the improvements are performance-related, taking advantage of the cache of accessibility tree nodes maintained by the AT-SPI service. Table processing has received particular attention, and fundamental changes are underway in the code that handles users' keystrokes, some of which need to be interpreted as screen reader commands, with the remainder being passed through to the application.
I have been testing some of the changes along the way, as have other users active on the Orca mailing list. Rapid and precise bug reports continue to contribute to the development process. At this point, it is reasonable to expect these valuable improvements to appear in a release during the first half of 2024, presumably as part of GNOME 46.

Computers used to be so easy. The screen would give you a menu of options; you picked one using the keyboard. But then graphical interfaces came along and made things more complicated, especially for screen reader users.

What if any modern e-commerce website could be accessed using a simple menu interface? This is the dream of researcher David Cane.

A slide named "Product/Cart Command Set" containing a table with three columns. The first column is a shopping task, such as search, add to cart, or checkout. The second column is an argument list, such as a search term or id and quantity of items to add to the cart. The third column is a keyboard shortcut for each task, such as control + S.
