Found this video about a Steinway piano that has 2 keyboards an octave apart, so you can play things with one hand that you'd usually need two for. It also has a pedal that couples the keyboards together so you can play octaves with one finger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXxyf6NHXmw
When I was in primary school I kept a diary/journal using a Perkins Brailler during the holidays mainly because my support assistant thought it would be a good idea. I'm thinking of making a digital copy of it in case either something happens to it or I end up not being able to read it for some reason. Is there any OCR type software that can convert braille to text, or is typing it out by hand still the best way to go?
I was wondering why I wasn't getting any replies to my messages on the RWP list, then I realised I had it set not to send me any messages at all. Got it now set to only send me replies to topics I'm subscribed to. The groups.io interface is a bit of a pain in the arse but I think it's worth it to get to know. I was tired of getting deluged in e-mails from lists, and now I can dive in on the website and only get e-mails about threads I care about.
Just noticed a few minutes ago that NV Access has included a link to the switching from JAWS to NVDA guide on their "Get Help page. Since I came up with the idea and put it together initially, this makes me feel proud. I'm also proud of everyone that's contributed to it over the years. https://www.nvaccess.org/get-help/ @NVAccess
@cachondo@jscholes@tristan@miki@TheQuinbox app based description would be amazing. Just so that they wouldn't have to fade out the main audio when the description comes in. That's one ting I like about the cinema is having the AD through headphones.
Using Roland cloud with a screen reader: "Customize your Roland Cloud Manager experience by choosing a default brand filter." Your choices are graphic, graphic or graphic. I think I'll choose graphic.
@GreenSkyOverMe It's twitter. Facebook's a weird one though because it tries to auto generate descriptions but usually fails. So a stunning view of a beach might be rendered as "maybe an image of ocean, sky, nature, water, shorts, beard and text". I've literally seen it put random things like shorts and beard in there.
@GreenSkyOverMe The latter. Either replace them with image or the file name, which is what gets read out when there's no alt text. The reason why I said image though is that pictures attached to posts on tother place have "image" as alt text if you don't add any yourself.
I'd still love to make a browser add-on that replaces images with no description with the word image. Since the only code I know how to write is basic AutoHotKey script it's not happening any time soon.
I'm glad that Apple Music have renamed the "Your go to playlists" section to "Playlists We Love". That section contains playlists I'm least likely to go to and it annoyed me.
