I’m a blind student returning to college to pursue a <strong>B.S. in Computer Science</strong> through Colorado Christian University Online. This is my third attempt at college due to chronic illness, but I’m excited to be back and determined to make it work.</p><p>I’m looking for advice on two fronts:</p> <p><strong>📝 1. LaTeX on <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a></strong></p><p>I’ve recently started learning LaTeX and find it a more accessible way to write papers—especially when paired with <strong>Zotero</strong> for citations. My main machine is a <strong>Windows 11 Pro mini PC</strong>, and I also have a <strong>Raspberry Pi running Arch Linux ARM</strong>.</p><p>So far, I’ve tried:</p><ul><li><strong>Overleaf</strong> – nice interface, but the PDF viewer isn’t very screen reader-friendly and the editor has some issues too (JAWS/NVDA repeat lines).</li><li><strong>VS Code with LaTeX Workshop</strong> – most accessible option I've tried</li><li><strong>TeXnicCenter</strong> – only briefly.</li></ul><p><strong>👉 Question:</strong> What LaTeX editors or workflows do you use on <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a>, and how accessible have you found them?</p> <p><strong>➗ 2. Relearning College-Level Math</strong></p><p>I’ll be starting with <strong>calculus</strong> early next year. It’s been a long time since high school, and chronic illness has affected my memory and cognition. I used to use a <strong>Perkins Brailler</strong> for math, but arthritis/lupus (still being diagnosed) makes that painful now.</p><p><strong>👉 Question:</strong> Can anyone recommend accessible resources for relearning math—especially for someone doing everything online?</p><p>Any tips for doing <strong>math, science, or programming fully online</strong> as a blind student would be incredibly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks in advance! I’m happy to share what I learn along the way.<br><br>Feel free to boost or tag others who might have insights.</p><p><a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/BlindTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlindTech</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaTeX</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/STEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>STEM</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/DisabilityInSTEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityInSTEM</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/MathAccessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MathAccessibility</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/JAWS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JAWS</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/NVDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NVDA</span></a> #<a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/ScreenReader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScreenReader</span></a> Zotero <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/ChronicIllness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChronicIllness</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/OnlineLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnlineLearning</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/mastoblind" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mastoblind</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://rblind.com/c/main" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>main</span></a></span></p>

Florian<p>Today is Global <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> awareness day and I think I speak for a lot of people in the community when I say I'm tired. Particularly over the last few months, the overall climate towards accessibility and <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diversity</span></a> hasn't been super welcoming and while I have a good support network that can remind me that I am, in fact, human and worth existing, many do not. If you receive a request to make something <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessible</span></a>, from anyone, keep in mind that may very well be the 5th, 10th or even 100th attempt this person has made today at screaming into the void hoping to be seen as a person rather than a potential drain on resources. Rather tna big companies showing off <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> gizmos that mean we've offloaded a problem we didn't want to deal with onto a fallible set of algorithms, maybe <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/gaad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaad</span></a> should be about being aware of how ridiculous it is that accessibility professionals and consumers need to fight to even be seen as human these days, because make no mistake, we do.</p>

Chris C<p>iPhone Tip. iOS Text Replacements.<br>Is there something that you seem to be typing all the time; like an email address, street address, phone number, even emoji's? How would you like to just type 3 or 4 letters, hit the space bar, and those letters will automatically change into that email address, emoji, etc. Well, that is what a text replacement is, and text replacements come built into iOS!<br>And if you are wondering, text replacements work no matter what you ar typing on; on screen keyboard, Braille Screen Input, or external keyboard. Can not say regarding a Braille display since I have never tested it on one.<br>How to make a text replacement on your iPhone:<br>1, Go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Text Replacement.<br>2, On this screen you will have an add button to add new text replacements, a search field to search through your list of text replacements that you have made if needed, and a list of all of the text replacements that you have already made.<br>3, So to add a new one, double tap on the add button near the top.<br>4, On the add new screen you have a save button and 2 edit fields; a phrase edit field, and a shortcut edit field.<br>5, So first, in the phrase edit field, type the email address, phrase, emoji, etc., that you want to appear after hitting the space bar.<br>6, Next, in the shortcut edit field, type the 3 or more letters that you want to represent what you entered in the phrase edit field.<br>7, The 3 or more letters can not be a word, part of a word, or a contraction if using Braille. For example, all of my text replacements start with the letters E J so it will not be confused for a part of a word or contraction.<br>8, A couple of examples I used:<br>E J G M, the shortcut for my gmail email address.<br>E J W F, shortcut for the Winking Face emoji.<br>You will have to come up with your own system to better help you remember your text replacements.<br>9, After entering your phrase and shortcut, just double tap the save button to add it to your list of text replacements.<br>10, While on the Add screen, you can repeat the process to enter as many text replacements as you want.<br>11, Just double tap the back button to go back to the original screen that has your list. There you will find all of the ones that you have made.<br>12, To delete a text replacement, swipe down your list to the one you want to delete, flick up to and choose delete.<br>13, To change or edit a text replacement, swipe down and double tap the one you want.<br>Text replacements can be very helpful and can make typing some things a lot quicker and easier.<br>Good luck and have fun!<br><a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/ios" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ios</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/text" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>text</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Replacement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Replacement</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/voiceover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>voiceover</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessible</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/iPhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iPhone</span></a> <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Tip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tip</span></a></p>

It's hard to see and interact with climate, but its very possible to develop relationships with the landscape, no matter where we live.🌱</p><p>🌲Restoration is a lovely, impactful way to build community around local natural spaces. The idea is to create and support (diverse) refuge areas that are resistant to human pressures. Patches of wilderness that can serve as a bridge between larger conservancies.

It combines seamlessly with <a href="https://beige.party/tags/NatureEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NatureEducation</span></a> and appreciation. Search for conservancies, natural areas, land trusts, state, county, or city parks. It doesnt have to be swanky: it can be the drainage way behind your neighborhood (the more local, the better).🪻</p><p>🌳There are also many many different roles to get involved in that can make it <a href="https://beige.party/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessible</span></a>! Nature education and land use planning are severely under-utilized areas, as is citizen wildlife monitoring. You can grow plants for restoration in your garden or in your window. (Responsibly) collect native seed from areas of abundance and scatter it in bare places. If you dont know where to start, just learning plant names and their relationships is hugely rewarding, because you will start to see patterns in the landscape that will allow you to interpret and share with others (*chills*). 🌼</p><p>🌾I know people are stretched really thin right now, but <a href="https://beige.party/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> is so restorative and <a href="https://beige.party/tags/EcologicalRestoration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EcologicalRestoration</span></a> connects me to my neighbors. It provides an easy platform for broader community organizing, which seems relevant right now. We aren't separate from nature: we are a part of it.

Florian<p>Looks like it's a particular version, the Mate spin, that's borked.
