All right, for all you #blind #3dprinting folks, I've got something neat. This guy on Reddit made some foldable chess sets. Standard and blind accessible versions certified by the International Braille Chess Association ready to print with all pieces included. Pretty neat stuff. It works the same way as one of those wooden chess sets does, with elevated pieces for white and concave for black with peg holes so that the pieces don't move while you're touching them. Here're all of the files. I've got four links because this guy posted them on different sites. I'm including them all so you can choose where you wanna download. makerworld.com/en/models/12594

I’ve recently discovered the Disability Daily #Podcast which I’m really enjoying as it’s short and snappy and introduces someone new from the community each day, plus it provides transcripts #blind #disability #audio @disability March 25: Jeff Healey, Jim Thatcher & Crip Camp | Disability Daily Podcast disabilitydaily.podbean.com/e/

disabilitydaily.podbean.comMarch 25: Jeff Healey, Jim Thatcher & Crip Camp | Disability Daily PodcastTranscript Today we celebrate blind guitarist Jeff Healey & Jim Thatcher, who developed the first screen reader. It’s also the 5th anniversary of Netflix’s release of Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution (2020). ---- Hello and welcome to the Disability Daily Podcast! I’m your host, Katie, and over the past couple years, I’ve worked on a 365-day calendar that recognizes different folks and key moments in disability history each day of the year.

Any totally #blind from birth folks out there who aren't completely flummoxed by css? I just can't comprehend any of it, and this HTML 5 and CSS course is required for my cyber defense degree.

Hello #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired community! 👋
I'm having trouble signing PDF documents with a digital certificate using my #screenreader (NVDA on Windows). I can do it in Adobe Reader but it's quite cumbersome and requires sighted assistance.
Does anyone have a more accessible workflow or software recommendation for signing PDFs with a digital certificate using the keyboard and a screen reader? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Could you please #Boost this so it reaches more people? Thank you in advance! 🙏 #Accessibility #NVDA #PDF #DigitalSignature #AssistiveTechnology @NVAccess

Have made my first ever experience with the package pickup stations of the Austrian post last weekend. They have been made accessible to the blind. The procedure is as follows: 1. You receive a physical notification about a package being dropped off at a station in your mailbox. 2. The notification has one of its corners cut off to make a tactile difference. This way you can tell where the code you need to scan is located. 3. You go to the pickup station. The tactile flooring inside will guide you to the stations. 4. You touch anywhere on the touch screen of the station. 5. You touch again, this time the area above a circle shape that can be touched on a strip below the screen itself. 6. The voice guide is activated and issues further instructions. 7. You place the code on your notification in front of the reader. 8. Assuming it has been scanned correctly, you proceed to signing the delivery confirmation on the touch screen. How you can do it without seeing the screen is still a mystery to me but I guess anything you draw is accepted by the system. 9. The locker opens and makes a ticking sound until you find it, remove your package and shut the door. I still find the way of opening it with a mobile app that some providers in other countries offer far easier but it's great those are ready for use even if you don't want or can't use a smartphone. #Accessibility #Blind

Thanks to a meetup at our local hackerspace @metalab , I have learnt about a web-based, open source, highly accessible video downloader frontend you can fire up at cobalt.tools. Really easy how it works: 1. You open the site; 2. you paste the link into the edit box; 3. You press enter; 4. The standard "Save File" dialog comes up. All the extra stuff like formats and qualities can be set in the settings and a choice between a video, audio-only or video-only version is offered under a button below the link input. #Accessibility #Blind

cobalt.toolscobaltcobalt lets you save what you love without ads, tracking, paywalls or other nonsense. just paste the link and you're ready to rock!

Well labeling was hell, but it's done, and now I have pretties to play with and contemplate. Want to see? At some point I'll pick out my favorites from this deck to show the gorgeous off properly, but for now, here is my introduction spread from Gianna Lucci's Craft Felt #Tarot. Wow! Etsy link below if you want the whimsey for yourself! #Blind folks, this lady has a description's file you can request!!!!

3 cards lie on a wooden surface. The images appear fuzzy—as in literally, tactiley fuzzy, and also a bit 3-D. This is because the artist actually made these cards out of felt, and then took photos to make the deck. She uses bright colors and simple shapes, which makes them look a little childlike, but this doesn't mean the cards themselves are simple—there's a lot of detail here! In order: 2 of Wands: A man with fair skin stands on the balcony of a castle, looking outward into an open, hot-pink sky. He is wearing gold jewelry and a magenta robe. In one hand he holds a wand and in the other he holds a globe. Another wand rests on the balcony ledge beside him. Birds fly in the distance. 2 of Pentacles: , A woman with copper skin, a long gold dress, and a gold necklace stands with her arms open and a joyful expression on her face. She is surrounded by orange trees which are dropping their fruit all around. Behind her is a golden house, and in front of her are green topiaries, and a large basket of oranges. A black crow is perched on one of her hands, extending a pentacle out to her in its beak. The other eight pentacles are speckled throughout the image. 2 of Swords: , On a grey background, an expressionless woman sits on a bench wearing a grey dress and a blindfold across her eyes. In her hands she holds two long swords crossed against her chest. A black bird sits on her left, and a white bird sits on her right. A crescent moon shines directly above her
Same style as the cards: A box with the title "The Craft Felt Tarot" by Gianna Lucci in bright, hand-written letters, cartoon style. It's decorated with various small, colorful illustrations— a rainbow, carrots, a star, a mask, a cloud, a butterfly, a key, a moon, an eye, a sun, and other whimsical symbols. The background is a deep blue.

#blind #mac #voiceOver users, I'm working on a #stream idea to essentially set up a mac from scratch for efficiency/productivity for a blind power user and am gathering tricks, tools and techniques to include in said stream. I know about the obvious like VOCR, Hammerspoon, launchers like raycast/alfred, specialized apps like Drafts/Logic/Vmware Fusion/BBEdit/VS Code, even more specialized stuff like RCMD, Vollama and Shortcat, maybe some Rogue Amoeba stuff. I will also mention VoiceOver features like hotspots, item chooser, fastSearch and activities. Is there anything major I am missing? @FreakyFwoof @pitermach
