Hello friends! 
How's everyone doing today? I'm taking it easy and working from the recliner in our living room due to some pain and inflammation in my feet. Elevating them seems to be helping. They still hurt a little, but I can finally move my toes without excruciating pain! 
I've been dealing with some weird inflammation in different parts of my body, and my feet are just the latest and worst spot. My stepdad headed off to the grocery store a little while ago, and the only downside to being in the living room is the dogs barking when he returns. I'm all tensed up expecting them to bark at any time. Might just go ahead and put on my headphones to avoid the overstimulation. 
I'm about to dive into lesson 15 of my #BrailleProofreading course, and I also plan to fit in some #Coding practice with #Codecademy. Looking forward to making progress!
Wishing you all a comfortable and productive day. Take care! 
I’m diving into Reddit for the first time and decided to start with the Dystopia app, which is designed to be more accessible for blind users. I’ve found the r/Blind subreddit, and it seems like a great place to connect with others, but I’m still figuring out how to post on there. If anyone has tips or guidance on how to navigate the process, I’d really appreciate the help!
I’m excited to explore Reddit and see what the community has to offer. Any advice for a first-time user would be awesome!
Hey #BlindCommunity! I'm looking for tips from experienced users of #BrailleBlaster or similar #BrailleTranscription software. I'm struggling with:
1. Editing page numbers
2. Creating a table of contents
3. Saving files correctly
I'm using Windows 11 Pro with both #JAWS and #NVDA. Any advice, tutorials, or resources would be greatly appreciated! #Accessibility #Braille #AssistiveTech #tech #blind #screenReader

Aira X Vispero: The Ultimate Accessibili-Team 
We’re excited to announce we're joining forces with Vispero to promote equal access for online communities. Our Visual Interpreters often assist with barriers caused by inaccessible websites. Now, we're taking those experiences and partnering with Freedom Scientific, Inc. TPGi to create a plan for remediation, helping website owners understand and fix accessibility issues. 
“Most organizations don’t intend to block access—they just need awareness and the right tools,” said Matt Ater, VP of Vispero. “Our partnership aims to bridge that gap and drive inclusivity.”
The road to #AccessForAll isn't a lonely one. We’re proud to partner, collaborate, and amplify impact through combining expertise and resources to make the world a more accessible place.

There’s a cornucopia of insight and analysis about #AI in my timeline. Alongside the profoundly important critiques, members of the #BlindCommunity will also be aware of its game-changing role in image description. I want to find funding for a podcast exploring this. I think the wealthiest candidates with the most to gain, good PR for AI that is, would be OpenAI and Anthropic. Can anyone suggest an in to someone I might tap to find sponsorship for this idea?
But wait, there's more! 
As if this week hasn't been exciting enough, we have more news to share! We are proud to announce our new partnership with @pneumasolutions bringing their top-notch Remote Incident Manager (RIM) to Aira!

Hello everyone!
I'm looking for some recommendations for an app similar to Clubhouse or TeamTalk, where people can meet, chat, and hang out in various rooms or groups. The key is that it needs to be accessible for blind and visually impaired users and compatible across all major systems.
As a blind musician and accessibility advocate, interacting and making new friends is something I really enjoy. If you know of any apps that fit the bill, I'd love to hear about them!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions! 
Best,
Matthew Whitaker

Sign this petition to get braille labels mandated on medications in the US. Other countries already have this, the US has no excuse.

Has anyone actually tried out the WeWALK cane? I keep hearing about it, but I'm curious about real experiences from real people. Is it as groundbreaking as they say, or just another high-tech gadget? #BlindCommunity #WeWalk #Accessibility #Blind #Disability
I'm the cohost and coproducer of an #AudioDescription based #podcast called Talk Description to Me. As a blind person, I talk with a professional #AudioDescriber about the visuals of current events and the world around us. We lost our funding source some time ago, but we know we're filling a genuine gap for the #BlindCommunity. We'd welcome any suggestions of potential funders in the areas of #AccessibleJournalism and #culturalLiteracy. www.talkdescriptiontome.com
Just a heads up for those running #NVDA 2023.2 RC1
If you have the addon updator addon installed, the new addon store won't download stuff properly, so you'll need to either disable it or completely remove it first.

Anyone else just love this bouncy little tune that plays in the background of Light Cars? 
Good times man, good times.

Anyone else have the strange shared memory of pausing Tarzan Junior for the first time and hearing this random chill ass lounge music in what was normally a loud, fast paced, violence filled side scrolling adventure game? It was like stepping from the hot, loud, stressful streets of a busy city and into a classy restaurant.
We can thank the legendary @FreakyFwoof for this one...
