Great demo Kristy!

How to get Your voice on the phone, I want to do it

Hey, quick question. Would you say this has the best compatibility with the Mac? Like can I use the scroll buttons on the side to scroll through items on my Finder and Doc? Can I perform something similar to the JAWS input commands on a Focus 40 blue display, but instead do things like access the menu bar/menu extras, perform a VO right and VO left arrow to move through the screen, access notification center, control center, and system settings? Like can I do all of that without needing to ever touch the keyboard?

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Kristy!

Great video as always

Great review 😇😇

I still need to create my personal voice!

Yay! I'm glad they added the feature you mentioned. Wish it was done sooner but good none the less

Great demo Kristy. Love your description of the Roku voice as being “mublish!”

Great information - really great news that you got the clicks 😊

Hello Mister Colson! Did you like your treats?

Independence feels wonderful!

thanks. Im pretty amazed too by the modern world and technology and Im 30. Makes me wonder what people in their 40s, 50s, 60s, etc think.

Thanks for the video! So many cool things we’re benefiting from technology-wise these days

Same here. Only 2 days left until the event!

I agree, I'm very excited to see what Apple launches. There are so many possible useful features you can build with generative AI for accessibility.

I was given one of these when I joined the Iowa Department for the Blind and I love to use it to practice my Braille on when writing on my iPad or reading books.

Can we be friends?

Hi. Nice meeting you.

I'm not blind, but I would totally love to have access to a braille terminal for experimentation in a Linux environment. Awesome fun!

I've been watching kindle accessibility since I got my first mac in jully 2023. As far as I know the kindle classic wasn't very good with vo before amazon stopped in in october. Currently with the latest version of kindle on macos 14.4 its accessibility is as bad as on ventura when I first downloaded it. First time seeing your channel, cool to see our community is being modernized! Also sorry but can you have at least get earphones or something so voiceover doesn't interrupt you speaking with your face position info? Anyways, see ya! Just subscribed to your channel.

If the dumpster are across the street, which I assume they are, when do you cross the street… When the cars are straight in front of you, or by your side? I know the answer to this, but I’d like you to tell me what you think, so that I can further assess your OM skills based on what I know… Which, again, might not be wholly accurate. Take practice, and lots of it. It’s several hundred hours of doing things like that good at professional and good, that is. 6:53

? They usually tell you to “square off, “which means putting your back against a door or other object, and walking the street forward from that point. I am not an OM instructor myself, and never wish to be as I think decided instructor. Can “lead the Blind, “ a lot better than we can lead ourselves. So, if you go out your door, and put your back against it. When you walk forward from that door, what do you find? Try not to hear in either direction, right or left, and you will have “squared off. “ of course, you do know your cardinal directions, correct? You have a braille or audio compass? It’s recommended not to count steps. I’ve heard that from my instructors, and it takes away from other mind tasks that you could be doing, like echo locating clothes, and other things. if you use a cane, remember to sweep it across your body in an ark, with constant contact on the ground. Is your right foot step forward, the cane should sweep left, and vice versa. Of course, you know about trailing and shoreline, correct? You might if you were taught by an OMS, orientation and mobility specialist… Or CMS, which just certifies the orientation and mobility specialist. Again, I am neither, but I’ve read some things in the past and done a few courses. Of course, I did them as a student. If this is wrong, please contact a professional OMS or CMS for more incorrect information. 6:34

You are an inspiration and full of positive energy.

Thank you!!

It’s good to see you 1:12

Wish you and your cats the best in your new apartment! 🙂 Thanks for the video!

Wow, that’s really cool. Also ups my opinion of apple

Great video, thanks for sharing

In braille display on your iPhone, can you use activities to create tactile graphics?

I can tell this is really poignant and so I have to watch it in parts. But I would feel bad if I don't comment now that what I have watched is inspiring to me and I couldn't agree more with the title. <3

What voiceover 0:19 voice are you using on your computer?

I hear ya. I walked away from religion years ago precisely because of the narcissism so prevalent in the Christian churches. Good job on seeing through it all to the truth of it.

Thanks for sharing. I hear you! 🙂

It's really hurtful to have a church / church community not see you as an individual or listen to you. If you are still looking to find an accepting community, I know there are a lot out there! But unfortunately there are still a fair amount of Christians who are literally not practicing what they preach. Saw this quote recently about how we treat those we perceive as powerless: The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Amazing

Very cool to learn this! I am teaching my Japanese students universal design and thought this would be really interesting for them. Thank you for sharing the process in such an easy-to-understand and succinct way!

Thank you for doing this ❤

I worked with a blind mainframe programmer 22 years ago. He said he used JAWS to read out what was on the screen. He had been a music teacher previously, and one time he brought his violin to work and played a classical song or two. Someone requested "orange blossom special", and he started out playing normally and then to show off he put the violin behind his back and played it perfectly behind him. We were all pretty amazed. Unfortunately, we all experienced one of the first waves of offshoring after that, and I think he returned to teaching music. One of the most optimistic people I have ever met.

searched all over on how to raise and lower the platform. Thank you!

This was super helpful! I wasn’t sure how to change my same old playlist that would always auto play every time I started a workout! 😀Thank you so much.

Мощно.

Amazing. I watched this years ago as part of an accessibility course. I'm going sharing this with my workmates for when we design elearning training items.

This should also work on the web as it is a VoiceOver functionality! :)

Hey Kristy
