@lerven @JustinMac84 @RaymondsCorner Does the tags get applyed when you check the add meta data checkbox in the render dialog and add the information?

@JustinMac84 @RaymondsCorner @payown Was wondering if you had experience with ID3 tags in Reaper? I'd like to be able to convert to mp3 and tag in one program if possible.

Future phones may be able to send smells, not just sounds and images
Scientists are working on developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges to create a huge variety of smells, with the goal of creating phones that can produce smells.

For any enthusiasts of legacy assistive tech, it seems the first source code of the Talks Screen Reader for Nokia 9110 Communicator has been published by one of the original devs. Unbelievable to think that it all started off as a bunch of prerecorded messages supplemented by the ability to spell anything it doesn't have ready letter by letter and plugging in external synthesizers and Braille displays via the serial port:

@carrottop1023 @maerlynofmiria what i was talking about was to press control+p and i changed to be: toot template: $text$image_descriptions, $time, $source from $userg ... that way I hear the post then date then person who sent it.

@maerlynofmiria @carrottop1023 oh nevermind, that just helps with posts not notifications...

@maerlynofmiria @carrottop1023 It might help if you changed the posts templet to put the username after the message. I just did that and it does make it faster to move between posts!

@Jage Yeah, e.g. in a zoom meating, recording with the Loopback of an interface, but with zoom in focus be able to mark a project while it's recording. AHK may solve the problem, I want it to ask me for the name of the marker as well no matter the window in focus

2024-09-17

anyone know how I can insert a marker in a reaper project while in a different window in Windows?

@alexhall Hmmm, this could be helpful to teach someone, double tap twice and on the last tap use 2 or 3 fingers... It could be a better way to remember jestures!

Did you know VoiceOver gestures that require you to tap multiple fingers multiple times don't actually require all the fingers for all the taps? Whichever tap has the most fingers tells it how many fingers to assume for the other taps. Go ahead, try it. Do a 3-finger triple tap, but for the first two taps, only use one finger. Or use 1, then 3, then 2. This doesn't actually help in any way I can think of, but it's neat just the same.

Testing the new braille screen input in iOS 18. I didn't do betas this year, so it's new to me. I really like how it can come up automatically when a text field appears.

Happy iOS 18 release day for those who celebrate.
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so I’m thrilled to be back rocking the Pat Price Tek Talk Training room later, at 8 PM US Eastern time, to do a presentation on the #accessibility features in iOS 18.
It will also be published later by the Accessible World team as a podcast.
If you want to join us live, head on over in good time for a prompt start, to this Zoom link.

There'll be plenty of time for comment on what you like/dislike about iOS 18, and any other questions.

do you know of an accessible Money counter? @damashe would love to hear about one. Learn about some of his frustrations with the program, and why he's choosing to use Braille over Tech based labeling systems! #TechnicallyWorking 77 Drops in an hour or so...
