It works on the device, so you can use it in conversation, but also works with FaceTime and iPhone calls. E) Pros and Cons of Apple's Conversation Boost | Kami Funk | Accessibility.comApple's AirPods have a new accessibility feature — Conversation Boost. It promises to make it easier to hear people's voices in conversation in a crowded, noisy room. Sounds like a perfect solution to a common problem, right? After all, hearing aids can only do so much and even for people without a hearing disability, conversations in a loud location like a restaurant are difficult. But does this feature work? How well does it work? Are there any downsides? Let's look at Conversation Boost and see what the pros — and cons — of this accessibility feature are.

Ensure the JAWS Virtual PC Cursor is toggled off by pressing INSERT+Z when archiving and deleting messages. To archive or delete a message, follow these steps. 11) How to Reverse Function Keys (F1, F2, etc.) on MacOS Sonoma | OSXDaily.comSome Mac users have noticed that after updating to macOS Sonoma, or various macOS Sonoma updates, their function keys are reversed. A common example of this is that when you tap on the F1 or F2 key to adjust the display brightness, nothing happens. Or you may press F10, F11, or F12 to adjust audio levels on the Mac, and either nothing happens, or Expose activates rather than sound volume adjusting. We'll show you how you can reverse the function keys on macOS Sonoma, where the setting for this has been moved and buried, like many other things in System Settings. 12) A Beginner's Guide to Gesture Navigation on Android | AccessibleAndroid.comIf you're an old Android user (pre-Android 10), you're likely familiar with the "3-button navigation system," featuring buttons at the screen's bottom: one for going back, one for the home screen, and another for accessing recent apps. With the introduction of Android 10, gesture navigation became an alternative method for these functions without buttons occupying the lower screen portion. Despite gesture navigation's arrival, the 3-button navigation remains available for users who prefer the traditional button-pressing approach. 13) 5 Tips And Tricks To Fix Bluetooth Connection Issues On Mac | 9to5MacWe rely on Bluetooth for lots of devices so it can be frustrating when our peripherals don't work normally.

The hard truth is, it's not easy to find. The resources and knowledge are all scattered across multiple different sites and experts. It can be hard to know where to start to look. It is time to fix that, with the ultimate mobile accessibility resource guide. 17) Compose In Braille With Musescore 4: An Accessibility Breakthrough | Mu.seWe're delighted to announce MuseScore will be the first mainstream music notation program to support the groundbreaking accessibility features of Live Braille Translation and 6-key Braille note input.

But Is It Real? | ZDNet.comPublisher (Di Blasi): Have you ever found yourself in this position? Or in a conversation with someone about it? I know I have. On both counts. For years now I could absolutely "swear" that shortly after uttering a phrase about a particular topic, I would then, very suddenly, begin seeing advertisements for that exact thing in my web searches and on my social media feeds. And oh yes, my home is covered in Echo dots, Apple TVs, iPhones, iPads, Macs and Windows machines galore. But I always chalked it up to human correlation by suspicion, also known as a conspiracy complex, since I really and truly did not believe, from an engineering or legal standpoint, that companies could or were actually doing this. And it would seem that my suspicions were correct. About my suspicions, that is. 25) Why Windows 12 Needs To Steal These Features From Apple's Accessibility Efforts | TechRadar.comThere was a time when Accessibility in software was more commonly labeled as a 'hidden feature' or a 'hack' to speed certain methods up, such as Voice Control in iOS 13 or Back Tap in iOS 14. The world has (thankfully) moved on from this, and we're now seeing real benefits in how accessibility can be used for the greater good. 26) Best Accessible Smart Home Starting Point Recommendation | Marc Aflalo | XThe best piece of Smart Home tech, year after year.

Similar to how braille facilitates reading and writing by touch, braille music provides a way to interpret musical scores through touch. Using a combination of symbols and patterns on paper, musicians can feel and understand elements like notes, rhythms, dynamics, and musical expressions. This system allows for engaging in musical learning, performance, and composition. It also provides a means to express musical creativity and talent. 32) The State of FM Radio on Android Phones | Accessible AndroidCurious about The State of FM Radio on Android Phones? This post uncovers why this classic feature remains in some devices. From its presence in budget-friendly and midrange models to its absence in flagship phones, explore why FM radio persists and its significance in a world dominated by streaming services. 33) One Of Tekken 8's "Colorblind" Modes Is Causing Migraines, Vertigo, And Debate | ArsTechnica.comAdvocates say the intention is good, but the application is dangerous. Modern fighting games have come quite a long way from their origins in providing accessibility options. Street Fighter 6 has audio cues that can convey distance, height, health, and other crucial data to visually impaired players. King of Fighters 15 allows for setting the contrast levels between player characters and background. Competitors like BrolyLegs and numerous hardware hackers have taken the seemingly inhospitable genre even further. 34) The Oldest-Known Version Of MS-DOS's Predecessor Has Been Discovered And Uploaded | ArsTechnica.comLast week, Internet Archive user f15sim discovered and uploaded a new-old version of 86-DOS to the Internet Archive. Version 0.1-C of 86-DOS is available for download here and can be run using the SIMH emulator; before this, the earliest extant version of 86-DOS was version 0.34, also uploaded by f15sim. This version of 86-DOS is rudimentary even by the standards of early-'80s-era DOS builds and includes just a handful of utilities, a text-based chess game, and documentation for said chess game. But as early as it is, it remains essentially recognizable as the DOS that would go on to take over the entire PC business. 35) New BARD Additions: December 202336) NVDA 2024.1beta2 Available For Testing37) AppleVis Unlimited: What's New and Noteworthy for December 202338) Maryland State Library Agency Library for the Blind and Print Disabled January 2, 2024 Newsletter➜ Featured SurveysClosing: Ongoing | Surveys From APHSurveys help inform APH of the greatest needs in the community so they can gear their efforts toward making sure those needs are met.

➜ Classified Advertisement: Every Traffic Light Accessible With The OKO Application | AYES.aiAYES is happy to announce the launch of our new application OKO. OKO uses artificial intelligence and the back camera to recognize the pedestrian traffic light and inform the user of the walk, don't walk and the countdown state. We bring this state back to the user with three types of feedback, visual overlay, vibrations and audio feedback. The application does not rely on any adaptations to the traffic light and runs locally on the smartphone, this means that it works at every intersection. We always recommend to hold the phone at chest level with the camera pointing towards the direction that you want to cross. You can then rotate your chest between 10 to 15 degrees to locate the pedestrian traffic light. The moment we see that light the software immediately reacts. This helps to orient in the right direction and also stops you from veering off into traffic because the moment you veer off the feedback stops, you reorient and receive feedback to continue in the right direction. Sponsor Since: March 16th 2023 Website: https://ayes.ai/ 🌐 App: Download the OKO App from the Apple App Store here. Email: hello@ayes.ai 📧️ About: AYES was founded by three experienced AI engineers that are defining autonomous navigation for blind and visually impaired people. AYES.ai is the creator of the OKO App.
Simply point the back camera of the phone towards the intersection that you want to cross and the OKO application will instantly detect the traffic light and inform the user through audio and haptic feedback. The OKO application can provide multiple services for your company, city or your country, all independent of physical infrastructure. This can increase your accessibility to 100%, overnight. OKO provides an accessible traffic light at every intersection. And, best of all, all OKO data is completely anonymized, ensuring your personal privacy at all times. The OKO app is fully independent from infrastructure and does not require a Wi-Fi or Cellular connection to operate at full capacity. The algorithm runs locally on your device, meaning that it works consistently and reliably every single time. The application has been trained on more than 150,000 images and continues to improve.

Access Technology: Broadly encompasses technologies that enable access to information and communication systems for a wide range of users, including those with disabilities. It's about making existing systems like computers and the internet more accessible. Adaptive Technology: A subset of Access Technology, specifically tailored or modified for people with disabilities.

Assistive Technology: This term is often used interchangeably with Adaptive Technology but can have a broader scope. Assistive Technology includes any device, software, or equipment that helps people work around their challenges.

Editor Since: January 1st 2022 Location: Newcastle, Australia Time Zone: Australia Eastern Standard Time (AEST/AEDT) (GMT+10) In addition to serving as an Editor to Top Tech Tidbits, Ben is also an Access and Technology Advisor for Guide Dogs, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory (NSW/ACT). Hi, Tidbits readers, my name's Ben Moxey and I'm based in Newcastle, Australia. I'm really happy to be part of the Tidbits Team and look forward to supporting this valuable publication. A bit about me and how I came to work in the BVI area. I grew up with very low vision in one eye due to retinal issues and relied on magnification and speech throughout school. They also tried to teach me Braille, but let's just say that I wasn't the best student! I was determined to use my remaining vision, no matter how impractical it was becoming. When I was 20, the other retina came off and I've now been totally blind for about 21 years. This is when my love for assistive technology, and technology in general, really kicked in. I'll be honest, I was a bit of a computer nerd anyway, but I could quickly see how technology was my key to enhanced independence and lifestyle. I embraced screen readers, early smart phones and mobility aids. I even finally realised the huge value of Braille and finished off the course, though I'm still pretty slow! Long story short (not one of my strong points), I've worked in the BVI area for 12 years with much of that spent reviewing, recommending and teaching assistive technology that suits the individual. I'm currently a proud employee of Guide Dogs NSW/ACT where I was the Practice Lead for the assistive technology service, and I've now moved into an Access and Technology Advisor role. Basically, this involves a strong focus on accessibility and technology innovation. Feel free to look me up on LinkedIn, but I'll warn you in advance that I haven't given my profile the recommended attention! All the best and happy reading!

Volunteer Editorial Contributor Since: February 6, 2023 Location: Central Coast, New South Wales, Australia Time Zone: Australia Eastern Standard Time (AEST/AEDT) (GMT+10) In addition to serving as an Editor to Top Tech Tidbits, David also serves as an Editor to the Access Information News Publication and is also the National Commercial Assistive Technology Advisor for Vision Australia where he has worked since 1990. Over this time he has assisted people who are blind or vision impaired in their home, education, and work settings to take advantage of the benefits of using assistive and main stream technology. In the last seventeen years, he has also been involved with evaluating technology for use by people who are blind or vision impaired covering both low and high tech equipment (including Microsoft, Samsung, Google, Amazon, and Apple). David is also one of the key spokespersons for Vision Australia relating to technology. He has been an Apple Ambassador for Apple Australia since 2009 with a group of other Ambassadors / Apple Distinguished Educators (ADE)'s covering the range of Apple's Accessibility solutions throughout Australia. David produces a range of podcasts (since 2011) covering Apple and other technologies which are distributed on his own podcast (http://davidwoodbr.podbean.com). In addition, he also has a regular Talking Tech program (since 2013) which can be heard every Tuesday at 4:30 Eastern Summer Time on Vision Australia Radio Melbourne (available online) or via https://omny.fm/shows/talking-tech-vision-australia-radio. David also runs a weekly Tech Monday where people can chat about assistive and main stream technology, share information, and any tips and tricks. David lost his sight when he was 8 years old and had to learn Braille. Since then, he completed high school, went to Sydney University receiving a Social Work degree, spent 4 years drug and alcohol counselling, and then moved into his current job. As a person who is blind, David believes that as a user of the technology that he recommends to others, that he is well situated to look at the strengths and shortcomings of the assistive technology that he comes across in both his professional and personal life, in particular, mainstream technology that is accessible. X (Formerly Twitter): @dwoodbridge In addition to his weekly contributions to Top Tech Tidbits and Access Information News, David's regularly occurring activities are his weekly tech radio show, bi-monthly exploring tech webinars for Vision Australia, his iSee podcast when something of note grabs his attention, and the weekly Tech Monday chat sessions.
