Chris C<p>iOS Game. If you like Braille and a challenge then you will like the game Brailliance! Its like a Braille Wordle. Each word is made up of so many total dots and so many letters; like 5 letters with 13 dots. So for this word, the dots from each letter will add up to be a total of 13 dots. And of coarse its totally accessible with Voiceover. So give it a try.

Chris C<p>Making Gemini AI a Windows App.<br>If you are a Google Gemini user and wish they had a Windows app, then here are the steps in accomplishing this. Please note: This can be done whether you use Microsoft Edge or the Google Chrome browser. These are the steps using the Google Chrome browser with Jaws.<br>1. Open Google Chrome and go to gemini.google.com.<br>2. If not already signed in, sign in to your Google Account.<br>3. Press the alt key and you should here, Chrome button menu.<br>4. Arrow up until you hear, Cast, Save, Share submenu.<br>5. Press the right arrow to open the submenu.<br>6. Arrow down until you hear, Install page as app..., and press enter.<br>7. A dialog will pop up and you will land on a Cancel button.<br>8. If you tab one time you will be in an edit box to name the app. There will be a default name already there, but you can change it to whatever you want if you like.<br>9. Tab to the Install button and press enter and this will create the app on your computer.<br>10. There should now be an icon on your desktop. So you can now access it from your start menu or your desktop. <br>11.

Zersiax<p>In about two hours, I'll be covering the submission to the fourth edition of Itch.IO's Blind Gamers Jam, a friendly competition to make an <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessible</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/game" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>game</span></a> for <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/gamers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamers</span></a>. With 35 games on the docket, we'll hopefully see some creative ways to promote game <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> in the various game genres.

Girl on the Net<p>Today I broke an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> feature on my site, and turned off <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/audio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>audio</span></a> for UK users. </p><p>Everyone else can listen as usual.

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦<p><span>So this evening, </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/Windows" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#Windows</a><span> update installed the wrong </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/AMD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#AMD</a><span> video driver update for my Framework 16. Using </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/narrator" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#narrator</a><span>, I was able to boot into recovery mode, enter my bitlocker key to decrypt the effected drive, find my system restore point, and restore it to just before the bad update. The entire process was fully </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/accessible" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#accessible</a><span>: all of my sound devices worked, my external keyboard worked, the screen reader read every screen, etc. The only thing that wouldn't work was my Braille display.</span></p>
🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦<p><span>So now that I have a working </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/matrix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#matrix</a><span> </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/homeserver" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#homeserver</a><span>, what </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/screenreader" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#screenreader</a><span> </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/accessible" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#accessible</a><span> clients for matrix do folks like? </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/elementX" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#elementX</a><span> is...fine on </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/IOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#IOS</a><span> with </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/voiceover" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#voiceover</a><span>. But it's kind of annoying with </span><a href="https://fed.interfree.ca/tags/NVDA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag" target="_blank">#NVDA</a><span>. Is there a better desktop client? Thunderbird, I guess?</span></p>
Florian<p>Been playing with a video/article concept as of late with the working title"What you see is NOT what you get", pertaining to making things <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/accessible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessible</span></a> to fully <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a> users.<br>A lot of <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> issues are easy to visualize: a missing ramp in front of a building, bad contrast, missing captions etc. but <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/screenReader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>screenReader</span></a> accessibility is a lot more nebulous because there's actually not that much reading of the screen happening. I can't "point" at a screen reader accessibility issue because it happens behind the curtain, in the land of metadata, APIs and standards, rarely on the actual screen, which also makes it more difficult to "visualize" for devs. hrmm.</p>
