Morning All- wha'ts hapening with BSI on iOS? It's not working properly- doesn't play any sound. #Braille #iPhone #iOS26.2 #Question

Good morning! Wishing you all a sensational Saturday filled with sunshine, love, laughter, high energy and positivity! Other than the usual chores, I’m only going to read and listen to an audio book today. Supposed to start snowing around 7 PM and not get above 15F tomorrow so I’m grateful hubs will be off tomorrow through Wednesday. 🥶

Be kind to yourself and those around you, hug tight those you love most and smile, this world needs those beautiful smiles! 🤗🫶❤️🫂 #GoodMorning #Positivity #Braille #AudioBooks #TooCold

If you can read #braille you might want to help this test along ☺️

I normally use my computer with a regular qwerty keyboard. But since it's a seven-inch Toughpad, I wanted to try it with my Orbit Writer, due to the size. I bought it to use with my iPhone, which it does very well (better than with Android,). I read the manual and even saved the HID keyboard commands so that I could refer to them quickly. But I don't understand a few things.

1. It is missing the Windows key. Due to this, I can't get to the start menu as I usually do. I also can't get to the desktop in the regular way.
2. I created a desktop shortcut which I put on the start menu, but I can't type ctrl+escape at the same time, so that method of getting to the start menu is also blocked, meaning that I still can't get to the desktop.
3. I can't type NVDA+F11 or F12 for the system tray or the time and date, respectively. I was able to create new commands for both under Input Gestures. But I also tried NVDA+1 for key identification, with both caps lock and insert, and that didn't work either. Fortunately, I was able to create another gesture to get into the NVDA menu.
4. On a qwerty keyboard, I can type alt+f4 to switch between windows. If I hold the alt key, I can also continue pressing f4 to switch between more than two windows. But with the Orbit Writer, while the command works, it seems to only work for two windows i.e. I can't hold alt and continue pressing f4.

Am I missing something here or is this a half-implemented system? How can they say it works with Windows when basic commands can't even be performed? If there are ways around these problems, please let me know.

For #Apple #iPhone #MacOS developers: Are there any good docs or guides on Accessibility API and usage of it, specifically on interactions with Braille displays? The official docs are seemingly barely anything even for accessibility API in general much less Braille. #accessibility #braille #swift

In this excerpt from the latest episode of our podcast, pianist Marcus Roberts recounts his early experiences learning Braille for music and how he adapts his jazz compositions for sighted musicians.

Love living in #Spain. They are truly amazing & go the full Monty with #DEI by ensuring blind and visually impaired people can operate a vehicle safely in an #urban #environment. As the photo nicely shows, they include #Braille on roads as an #assitivetechnology for #automobiles to detect with ease and inform drivers when they attempt to turn into a side-street.

There are better choices for readability than Calibri, but on the other hand, Rubio is a toady asshole.

Atkinson Hyperlegible is a collection of four fonts designed to be visually less confusing. I would be delighted to see wider adoption of this free font family.

(Wie) schreibt man eigentlich #Braille von Hand? Gibt es da spezielle Stanzen/Stifte? Oder gar eine Art Stempelsatz, z.B. für alle Ziffern?

Was sollte man beachten? Z.B. wie groß sollte ein einzelnes Zeichen mindestens sein, bevor es sich nicht mehr ertasten lässt?

@pawpower I really hope for one day have Braille-Touchscreens that can do proper 80x25 text characters and/or 640x480 pixel resolution.

• Cuz right now most Braille-Screens are absurdly expensive and tiny.

So yeah, this is a progression.

Does anyone remember if that #Braille #Jewelry shop still exists? I forgot what its called, but I know there is a really good, reputable one out there that makes Jewelry that you can customize braille messages on to.

In a reread mood at the moment, red a couple recently and just ordered Quartet in Autumn by Barbara Pym in #Braille from RNIB - they listened to my pleas and have finally added this one back into their backlist titles after throwing out all the old books, including all of her novels, when they went digital! #bookstodon #reading
