Not a huge sample size, but the results are in!

If you use #Matrix, drop an #AltText comment below your images and screencasts for #ScreenReader, #Braille and other #Accessibility tools until we get support in the spec:

Allow providing a text alternative/caption for all media/non-text-content · Issue #883 · matrix-org/matrix-spec

Suggestion I would like to specify an alternative text for all media content uploaded to Matrix including casual uploads, user avatar and room avatar, and I think this should be supported to comply...

Are you a #ScreenReader and/or #Braille user on #Matrix?

Should we be adding messages as captions until #AltText is supported?

I’m using the human ware NLS e-Reader. My software version is: 2.0.0 builds 2555… when I try to check for updates I get error while downloading update info. Firstly any suggestions why this isn’t working? Secondly, do I have any updates? Thanks for any help! #Braille #NLS #Technology

Question for #blind people, particularly those who use both a #Braille display and a laptop, if you're sitting at a desk and need to use both, how do you arrange them so using them both doesn’t kill your back? For context, I don’t have a desk since I usually work from bed, but sitting with my legs straight out in front of me hunched over my display and keyboard was hurting my legs and back, so I got two TV trays and an office chair and I’m using those. I have my Braille display and laptop both on one TV tray in front of me, with the Braille display in front of the laptop, but this means that if I need to use the laptop, I have to lean over my Braille display, so I’m still hurting my back. I’m working on my #BrailleTranscription course, so I have to use the laptop to type the exercises and drills. Also, I’m on a rug, so rolling the office chair between two TV trays isn’t an option. Is there anything I can do here to not hurt my back so much?

Hey #Blind people of #Mastodon: anyone still wearing #Braille watches? If so which ones?

Every time I pull out my BrailleNote Touch Plus, I'm reminded of how pitifully stagnated blindness-related products are compared to mainstream systems. Turns out I can no longer install Box because HumanWare has backed themselves into a corner and will not be updating past Android 8.1. This would not be a big deal... except for the fact that it's the only #Braille display I have at the moment, and literally every BRF file I need at Eastman is stored in Box.

Blazie's new BTSpeak or Orbit's new OrbitSpeak, which device will ultimately succeed? That is the question... #accessibility #blind #Braille

BTSpeak or OrbitSpeak, is that one of the new questions of this year? Wish I knew the story of how and why Blazie has returned to the assistive technology field after such a long absence. #accessibility #Braille #blind

Oh, this is really cool. The National Library Service is now making indefinite loans of print-on-demand braille books! Up to 5 per month per person.

Then, Braille heard about a French army officer who had devised a system of written communication of raised dots and dashes for nighttime battles. He borrowed the idea of the dots, and set about creating an alphabet that could be read by touch. He decided that each letter would be represented by a different arrangement of six dots packed close enough that each letter could be read by a single fingertip. He presented his work to his peers for the first time in 1824.

The European Blind Union is conducting a survey of braille display users, preparatory to discussions with product manufacturers. The survey's organizers are seeking respondents both within and outside the E.U.

This questionnaire contains questions about the usage of Braille displays in any life situation (education, work, personal use).

The “industry standard” modules used in digital braille displays are custom piezoelectric devices, costing around $100 per “letter,” making such displays impractically expensive for most applications.

I just learned about this hackaday prize winner, who has designed digital, refreshable #braille modules that cost less than $1 each, using teeny-tiny magnets and 3D printed parts.
