@anna's colleagues are doing really good work; creating assistive technology and developing free open source software mobile apps.
We have now started developing a free, open-source app that can run on any mobile phone and laptop that provides “live captioning” of dysarthric speech, personalized to the dysarthric speaker.
A lot of us technology/software enthusiasts are not feeling great these days. But this is the kind of technology we can still get excited about. Please send them a few bucks/quids/moola/coins if you can.

Fundraiser voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek gericht op het helpen van mensen met dysartrie.
Mijn collegas Yuanyuan Zhang en Odette Scharenborg zijn bezig met het onwikkelen van een ondertitelingsapp voor Nederlandse sprekers met een spraakafwijking.
Ze hebben een eerste studie gedaan, waarin ze een klein corpus van geannoteerde spraak hebben aangelegd, op basis van de spraak van twee vrijwilligers met dysartrie: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.30237
Nu hebben ze meer geld nodig om de spraak vast te leggen van nog meer vrijwilligers. Diversiteit in spraak helpt om zo'n ondertitelingsapp voor een grotere groep gebruikers beschikbaar te maken.

"We found that the most gendered experience wasn’t work-life balance, the focus of most retention efforts. It was feeling devalued, in formal evaluations, but particularly in everyday interactions. Unlike every other topic, the gender gap in devaluation was larger among more senior faculty. "
Read the study.

In case anybody wondered why we still need to support minorities in science. Over on BlueSky Katie Spoon writes:
"We wanted to understand why academics leave their jobs (doi.org/10.1126/scia...). We asked: “Tell us your story: what needs/needed to be different about your position?” I thought we would get a few hundred responses and I’d learn a bit more about the context of academic retention for myself.
