  1. I could literally cry right this minute. I tell you I could live to be a million years old and I will never, ever, never get past the wonder of discovering #Braille on something. I purchased this product just because I was seeking a sunscreen for the face. I had no idea that when it came its outer packaging would feature #Braille on it. It says Anthelios 60 on it. Thank you #LaRoche-Posay!

  6. Ok it has been a bit since I did this, and i definitely worded the last one wrong. I'm looking for my fellow #NVDA users to suggest Add-On that are not in the store.I'm on 2026.1, and already use Add-On Documentation, #Braille Extender, Resource Monitor, and VLC.

  12. I just received the email about #DiscoverCard’s transition to being fully integrated into #CapitalOne, including account management through the Capital One app. So I called to ask whether they planned to continue offering the Discover card design that features all account information in #Braille on the face of the card.

    I was assured by an agent, who genuinely seemed knowledgeable about the transition, that they would.

    Of course, I’ll be monitoring things closely, but it was heartening to hear that answer. And, as I do every single time I contact them, I left positive feedback thanking them for continuing to offer a card design with all account information in #Braille. #Accessibility

  14. @DavidGoldfield Yes I used to get the inserts and did request those again also. And yes I like that they don't make us choose we can have the best of both worlds with the labels that can be scanned by the device or the app which is quite #Accessible by the way and also the #Braille. Yay #Caremark and yay #ScripTalk and #Braille #AccessibleMedication

  15. My friend @DavidGoldfield is gonna commence to laughing with me today. As he may recall that when I was last with #CVSCaremark mail order pharmacy I wanted to be rid of their #Braille labels because I wanted smaller bottles. Then I left them and now that i'm back I have #ScripTalk but no Braille labels and turns out their regular bottles aren't a huge amount smaller than the bottles needed when there are Braille labels. So now guess who has decided they want Braille labels back. Yup that'd be me. #IWantBraille along with my #ScripTalk and so I'm on hold while the senior team executes my request now. #Here'sToBraille. Funny how preferences change.

  19. If you want to join apositive subreddit for the blind, try r/BlindandFine. The subject matter is far less strict than at r/blind, since not everything needs to be related to blindness. This is more of a place where we can get to know each other and have fun. We allow sighted people to join as well, and we welcome questions about blindness if they are genuine, requests for feedback on surveys or technology about/for the blind, etc. However, I do ask that you join only if you are eighteen or older. Please also note that this is not a therapy/support group. If you need that, then r/blind is for you.

  21. Presentación oficial — SubtitleReader

    ⏱️ Tiempo estimado de lectura: 3 minutos y 4 segundos.

    Hay proyectos que nacen como idea. Otros, como necesidad.
    Y algunos aparecen porque una escena se repite tantas veces que deja de ser casualidad y se convierte en pregunta.

    En mi caso, esa escena pasó hace muchos años.

    La primera vez que vi una película en inglés fue con mi mamá. Yo era chica.
    No recuerdo cuántos años tenía exactamente. Era Turbo Man, El hombre turbo. Estaba subtitulada, claro.

    Mi mamá leía lo más rápido que podía y, al mismo tiempo, me describía la película.
    Sin saberlo, esa fue mi primera experiencia de “streaming accesible”.

    Con el tiempo entendí algo fundamental:
    el problema no es que falte contenido.
    El problema es que muchas veces el texto está…
    pero no llega a quien lo necesita.

    El subtítulo existe.
    El contenido está.
    Pero no se anuncia, no se transmite, no se vuelve accesible.

    Y en ese espacio, entre lo que existe y lo que realmente se puede usar,
    nace KathWare SubtitleReader.

    Presentación oficial — SubtitleReader

    KathWare SubtitleReader es una herramienta de accesibilidad pensada para convertir subtítulos
    en información realmente utilizable. No como parche, no como solución improvisada,
    sino como una forma concreta de reducir una barrera que sigue estando demasiado normalizada.

    Hoy el proyecto toma dos formas distintas, pero complementarias:

    • SubtitleReader, la extensión para navegador, pensada para plataformas de streaming.
    • Player, un reproductor accesible para usar desde el propio dispositivo con archivos locales.

    Ambas herramientas parten de la misma idea:
    que el subtítulo deje de ser algo puramente visual y pueda circular hacia tecnologías de asistencia.

    Accesibilidad real: más allá del audio

    Este proyecto no solo permite escuchar subtítulos.
    También abre una posibilidad mucho más amplia:
    leerlos en tiempo real mediante líneas braille.

    Esto permite, por ejemplo:

    • acceder a contenido audiovisual desde una experiencia completamente distinta,
    • aprender idiomas combinando audio, subtítulos y lectura en braille,
    • y, por primera vez en muchos casos, que personas sordociegas puedan acceder a este tipo de contenido.

    No se trata solo de accesibilidad.
    Se trata de ampliar las formas de acceso al conocimiento, al entretenimiento y a la cultura.

    Cómo llegamos hasta acá

    Este proyecto no apareció de un día para otro.
    Hubo pruebas, errores, cambios de enfoque, reescrituras, frustraciones,
    y plataformas que obligaron a pensar soluciones específicas.

    Pero también hubo una certeza constante:
    esto no era imposible.

    El problema no era técnico.
    Era de prioridades.

    Lo que ya está disponible

    Hoy, KathWare SubtitleReader ya es una herramienta real.

    La extensión cuenta con compatibilidad verificada en:
    Netflix, Disney+, Max, Paramount+ y Flow.

    Pero además, puede probarse en muchas otras plataformas.
    Si funciona —o si no—, tu feedback es clave para seguir mejorando y ampliar compatibilidad.

    • Probar SubtitleReader
    • Usar el reproductor accesible

    Por qué esto importa

    Porque acceder al contenido audiovisual no debería depender de que alguien haya pensado en vos.

    Porque la accesibilidad no es un agregado opcional.
    Es una condición mínima para participar del mundo en igualdad de condiciones.

    Y porque muchas veces, lo que ya existe…
    no está realmente disponible para todas las personas.

    El subtítulo está.
    El contenido está.
    Lo que falta es el puente.

    Y este proyecto intenta ser eso:
    un puente.

    Lo que sigue

    Esto no termina acá.
    SubtitleReader va a seguir creciendo, probándose en más plataformas,
    mejorando su comportamiento y ampliando sus posibilidades.

    Pero hoy pasa algo distinto:
    ya no es solo una idea. Ya existe.

    Si querés probarlo, compartirlo o apoyar su crecimiento:

    • SubtitleReader
    • Player accesible
    • Colaboraciones

    Esto es para ustedes y para mí.
    Gracias por estar.

    It was created in hopes to remind of the importance of Alt texts, how it feels when you know something is present but can't access it :blobcatknife:

    Das meldet der Dachverband der evang. Blinden- und Sehbehindertenseelsorge.

  34. What a news" #liblouis our awesome #braille translator is being rewritten in @rustlang
    The internal testing is now taking place but since this is an open-source project developed in public meaningfull testing is probably welcome by anyone who is happy to take their favorite braille tables for a spin with this new version.

  35. So, when last I was under the auspices of the #Caremark pharmacy I never ever could get them to give me #ScripTalk labels without #Braille. Guess that's gonna hold true this time around also. It's annoying but I guess not the worst issue to have on the earth. Now if they'd just ship out my prescriptions that it's taken 2 and a half weeks to get straightened out that'd just be dandy.
