PS: If anyone knows any #Accessibility folks at #Zoom and would either be willing to pass this on to them or pass me some contact info, I would greatly appreciate it. #a11y #Linux #Fedora #Blind #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi

Have any #Blind folks found a way of making the #Zoom #Flatpak accessible with #Orca on #Linux? Unfortunately, the native #Fedora Zoom app has focus traps EVERYWHERE! Alternatively, does anyone know of ways to get around said focus traps in the native Zoom app? Any help would be great. #Accessibility #a11y #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi

Heyah. What #VideoEditing software are #Blind #ScreenReader users using in 2026? Would appreciate any input. Thanks. #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi

So, suffice it to say that I need recommendations. If there are #Blind #ScreenReader users out there who work with #OpenDocument Format files using your #iOS or #Android devices, I would love to know what works for you and what I should be doing. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

#Blind folks, what are y'all's choices for Mastodon apps on Android? Is Tusky still good or is there more fun to be had elsewhere? #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi

#Braille peeps, anyone know what the most accurate Braille table for US BANA literary (i.e. pre-UEB) is on #iOS? We’ve got system, LibLouis, and RTFC. I will not be using UEB because I hate it and have serious disagreements with the fact that it is now the default everywhere. Thanks in advance. #Blind #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi

#Blind #Linux #Accessibility / #a11y folks, I need a #ScreenReader #accessible #email client that supports calendar and contacts integration with #Outlook and #GoogleWorkspace. Thunderbird is out because I cannot find reliable instructions on connecting it to my Outlook contacts. Anyone who suggests that I should either switch back to Windows or use my phone for email will be playfully booped over the head with a pool noodle. Kidding. Seriously though, recommendations welcome. Thanks. #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi #MailClient #EmailClient

Okay, #Blind #Linux using hive mind. Do I want to enable disc encryption, and if so, how do I know when to type my password and if I got it wrong? I don't think there's any #ScreenReader at that point, right? Thoughts welcome. #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi

Discovering that the "record" function in #PowerPoint seems to break #JAWS was not at all what I needed this afternoon. Going to do some more testing and see what happens with other screen readers. In the interim, however, are there any #Blind folks out there who record slideshows regularly? If so, how do you do it? #BlindMasto #BlindFedi #ScreenReader @mastoblind

Sooooo... thinking about the possibility and feasibility of big life changes, namely studying opera seriously in Europe. Would love to connect with other #Blind language learners, especially those using #braille as a component of their learning. Currently learning #French. Am particularly interested in chatting with people who have taught themselves grade 2 French Braille as well as those who are either conversational or fluent and/or who have worked in or currently live in a #Francophone European country. If this is you or you're in any way adjacent to this world, please reach out. Would love to talk to you. Would also love to chat with people who use #MusicBraille / #BrailleMusic in Europe.

Hi #Blind #Musicians and #Opera students. Looking into the best way to write out a text in another language, its corresponding International Phonetic Alphabet transcription, and its word-for-word English translation in inkprint via a computer and then emboss or generate BRFs of that document to review in #Braille. I would just write the BRFs on my Braille display, but I would prefer my instructors to see the IPA which I've written as sighted vocalists would. IF this is not easily accomplished, I will simply continue writing out my transcriptions via Braille display. Any help appreciated.

OK #Blind #Linux people, is it really worthwhile to consider dual booting @elementary or at least testing it out in a VM? I’m probably not going to be able to give up windows completely, correct? What can I do natively under Lennox and what can’t I do? How is word processing, spreadsheets, making presentations? How about editing music notation? what works, what doesn’t, and what am I going to be giving up in terms of time and efficiency? Boosts appreciated and input very much welcome. #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi @mastoblind @blind #OpenSource #ElementaryOS #ScreenReader #Accessibility #A11Y

Howdy. Learning #French. I'm aware that there is a contracted French #Braille code. Are there by chance any resources for French as a second language learners? If so, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. #Français #Blind #LowVision #BlindMasto #MastoBlind #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi @mastoblind

#JAWSForWindows users, Anyone figured out how to get the usual alt+number shortcuts working properly in the new Outlook? Any help appreciated. Thanks. PS: please don’t tell me to use classic outlook. #Blind #ScreenReader #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi @mastoblind

#Accessibility hive mind, I have some questions about #ChromeVox as well as #Chromebook accessibility & #usability in general. I'm working with a #PixelBook that has never been used. ChromeVox is telling me to use commands involving the search key as a modifier, but these seem not to work as any use of the search key invokes #Google #Gemini. What's going on here? Additionally, how are #blind people using #Chromebooks? In what tasks do they excel. In what tasks do they fall short? Any input and/or information would be greatly appreciated.

#Blind #Musician hivemind, I'm talking with a young person interested in #songwriting who needs resources for learning #Logic and connecting with other #singers / #songwriters. This isn't my field of study, so I'm reaching out to the networks.

Hello, #TeamTalk users. I'm configuring a private encrypted server. Can I set up Bearware logins for only specific Bearware accounts while disallowing guest Bearware account access? When Bearware accounts first came onto the scene, this seemed not to be possible. Has this changed? Is there another way of accomplishing this which I am unaware of? Any input would be greatly appreciated. #TeamTalk5 #Blind #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi @mastoblind

What are people on #BlindMastodon using as a #Telegram app these days on iOS? The official Telegram app has the usual garbage, including the inability to open a chat which is... kind of important. Any input would be grand. #Blind #BlindMasto #BlindFedi #Accessibility @mastoblind

Y'all, anyone know if setting up Linktree is possible using a #ScreenReader? Any help appreciated. #Accessibility #A11Y #Blind #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi @mastoblind

Jfc I got a lot of mileage out of one goddamn screenshot but hey!
My b/Blind and vision-impaired or sight-loss fellows shall feast tonight!

… If any of you care about niche multi-layered terminology for humorous agenerational interconnective co-created commentary on base genuine media, surprises, commentary, and intersections of such!

You goddamn linguistic nerds!!

Ooh, I feel like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrHGbCyAqOU is structurally related.
OMG. THAT’S HOW ADHD BRAINS CONNECT IDEAS.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQKGUgOfD8U

AuHD or AudHD (urgh, I hate that initialism) people connect ideas by their structural relevance (and personal ascription of importance).
And, apparently, Neurotypical, neuro default, or neuro expected people connect ideas by narrative relevance! And, frankly, also how much importance they ascribe to the narrative, topic, or relevance.

Omg I’m an edu blogger?! This is like finding out that non-binary gender was an option! Holy shit.
