BE Hi all, as title states, my parent has Stargardt’s disease and I am trying to find a TV that best suits that condition. Unfortunately at this time, he doesn’t use accessibility features like voice commands or text-to-speech type tools. I think that may be revisited in the future....

I’ve been living with Stargardt’s disease since I was 9, and it’s deteriorated to the point that I can’t read physical books or papers, and I pretty much have to use my computer for everything with magnification and screen reader software....

Hi everyone,...

I am wondering if there’s a rapid way to switch between two voiceover voices. The only method I know involves going to settings-voiceover-speech-voices-scroll down etc. etc. etc., which is really too much. I’m thinking there must be an easier way, either using a customize rotor, or just telling Siri.

Hey all,...

I was wondering if it would be best to house a transcriber community here on rblind.com or should I make a community on another instance. I helped with r/TranscribersOfReddit and would be happy to try and build more accessibility here on Lemmy.

Hey, folks! As the holiday season approaches, and time off work is granted unto some of us, I thought it’d be a good time to post a quick and informal “state of the instance” report....

I know of the ACB and NFB. I am looking for specific groups on the following topics. I have heard that there are a lot of specific support groups on Facebook, so feel free to suggest them. PM’s or responses here are welcome....

[VOICE TO TEXT]: How do you deal with loneliness as a deafblind person? I think this is the biggest problem with deafblindness, this disability is very lonely. You start appreciating every touch because you know that there won’t be as many as you need to, to not feel lonely and that touch is the only thing that connects you...

My apologies for neglecting to post this here earlier....

Hi everyone,...

Hi, folks:...

These guys fucked up their website, but I hope glasses are still good....

I’m looking for accessible XMPP/jabber clients for Windows desktop and IOS. Anyone got any recommendations for me?

As the title says this is actually usable with a display without bullshit fighting with the screen reader navigation for twice as long as writing the post takes.

I’d been recommended a sternum height cane, but I noticed it was pretty bad for my posture. I also wanted to switch to something lighter, because it really strains my wrist....
