It's here: No Sight Required: The Blind User's Guide to AI now has a trailer.
It's the AI guide I wished existed — how to actually use ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. Written by me, a totally blind AT geek. No gatekeeping, no "just ask a sighted person."
Watch the trailer and grab the book:

Update: turns out the answer for my specific use case is Pachli. Thanks all.
#BlindMastodon, what #Android clients are we using? I've ditched the iPhone (long story). Any input would be great. #BlindMasto #BlindFedi #Blind

🎙️ Hey everyone! Exciting news — I've just launched a brand new podcast with some brilliant people, and I'd love for you to give it a listen!
🎧 THE TECH DOC PODCAST 🎧
What's up DOC?!
Meet the power-hungry Doc. The commander Doc. Two rebel Docs constantly plotting technological mayhem. And the captain Doc desperately trying to stop it all going off the rails.
Minor detail: they're all blind or vision impaired. 👀
Once a month, Stuart, Jackie, Jade, Ken and Pat gather their collective wisdom (and questionable decision-making skills) to poke, prod, test, break, and occasionally understand the tech that's meant to make life easier.
From apps that behave… to gadgets that absolutely do not… nothing is safe.
It's tech talk. It's chaos. It's lived experience. It's TECH DOC! 🔥
📱 Episode 1: What's Up Docs? is out now!
👉 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/the-tech-docs/id1881374183
👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4jfreP6I7i2HNsg6OjRjRf?si=qRWEmWJ-QfOTkrfwZ8UTlAAlso coming soon to Amazon & YouTube!
If you use Overcast, Castro, Pocketcasts or similar apps, you can paste in the Apple Podcasts link directly.

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

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.

#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

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.

#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.
