Few weeks ago, I listen on @podcast to a listener's issue where they lost their music that they have previously purchased. I think this kind of thing also happened among audible users. This article sheds some light to the conundrum,
Surprise du jour (not): if you "purchase" something and it stays on someone else's server, it never really is yours :

I'm starting a newsletter called Android Decoded!

On this week's Android Faithful podcast, we launched our new website alongside some new newsletters. I've been told I should start a newsletter a few times, so I'm finally doing one!

What's it about?

Android Decoded is a weekly newsletter that explains the significance of each week's news as it pertains to the Android ecosystem. I'll be picking the news that I think is important and analyze what I think it means for the Android ecosystem.

kaveinthran,

@MishaalRahman Do you have the length subscribe to the newsletter? I the website is not that screen reader accessible for me to find the newsletter

I also went back to Semaphore because the focus issues are increasing for me. I do think a blind developer should fork Enafore or even Semaphore. I understand that the main web interface is usable, I just really like theSemaphore kind of interface @mastoblind

kaveinthran,

@weirdwriter @mastoblind I want to understand more, can you describe the focus issues that you're having?

kaveinthran,

@weirdwriter @mastoblind Understand, no worries

I thought eloquence is no more on android officially? Then I find this on the code factory Faq. On what other platforms do you offer Eloquence? Code Factory also offers “Eloquence Text To Speech” for Android. It is available on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.codefactory.eloquencetts&hl=en.

Does it work well? @evilcookies98

kaveinthran,

@evilcookies98 Thanks for the clarification, I didn't even check the link, my bad, as it displays very confidently in their epic FAQ page, I thought it's still available

kaveinthran, to accessibility

how you move to next elements, e.g. headings, comments, footnote in a google doc? here goes! ctrl+alt+n, ctrl+alt+c for next comment, except when you press ctrl+alt+n, nvda starts/quits,
so what's the alternative?

Understanding and implementing the Web Accessibility Content Guidelines (WCAG) can be difficult for even trained experts. Catherine helps us with WCAG 2.2′s newest guideline by explaining the requirements and providing examples of how to improve our user interfaces.

I finally sat down and read this, which is not a short read, not about social media alone, and not good for bedtime:

“How social networks prey on our longing to be known”
https://janmaarten.com/polywork/

Fuck. If you weren’t already wary of tech, you will be. If you were wary, well, lots of good reference links all laid out in one place.

Might take that notice at the end for my own site.

kaveinthran,

@aardrian Great article, any other piece from him that you love?

What are the differences between the eloquence driver that people are using on android versus the iOS? I know the android version is 32bit and not compiled for newer processor, as it is not maintained anymore by code factory. do we have a list of phones in which it will not run? I don't think so it's depend on the operating system. So people still can use eloquence with android 15, but we need list of the devices that do not support it anymore.

I wonder if we could convince the makers of BookPlayer to add something like overcastfm@mastodon.social's smart speed, which reduces long pauses in speech. I've been experimenting with this for years, and have started adding pause reduction and multiband compression to all my audiobooks. The results are pretty significant; I usually save around 10% of the total length of a book without the new pauses sounding unnatural at all. GoldWave has settings that allow me to reduce the silences by percentage, rather than eliminating them completely. I've been listening to podcasts this way in @overcastfm, and even though I've been slacking on podcasts throughout most of 2023/24, smart speed has saved me almost 100 hours. I can't calculate the same for my audiobooks, but just one of the serieses I've read (Dungel Crawler Carl) is 8 hours shorter after processing, and I read books a lot more often than I listen to podcasts, so I might have saved literal weeks of time, not even accounting for speed adjustments.

kaveinthran,

@simon @overcastfm Can you talk more about your pause reduction and multiband compression workflow? What app do you use?

Does NVDA have an equivalent to the JAWS PictureSmart feature with its AI enhancements?

kaveinthran,

@DeanEquity Yes, although you need to fiddle with the API key, you can get the open AI NVDA ad on from the add-on store.

I feel that it's time now for the disable people themselves to take control of the Global Accessibility Awareness Day . It's always the case when may 18 hits, all the big companies that do not care to fix bugs pop up like magic to be the accessibility god that they are not. this is the biggest irony in our lived experience as a disabled persons.. We know it by body and mind to suffer with unfixed bugs while the bigg techs are posing as accessibility revivers. Let's change it this year? /1

Do you guys know if I can find a User guide for the braille display I’m about to have landing in my lap? I would really rather not blow it up the day I get it, especially since I got it for roughly an eighth of normal price if I read the webpage correctly.

kaveinthran,

@evilcookies98 @TSchulte Curious, what's the price that you bought it for? And how many displays you have currently?

kaveinthran,

@evilcookies98 @TSchulte That's great, is that a discount program or something else?

kaveinthran,

@evilcookies98 @TSchulte Amazing, I'm very happy for you. How old is the device?

kaveinthran,

@evilcookies98 @TSchulte Oo amazing, do keep us posted

kaveinthran,

@evilcookies98 @TSchulte I understand, 500 usd is still expensive, in my country it's about 2500 Malaysian ringgit, like buying a high end Samsung device .

kaveinthran,

@evilcookies98 @TSchulte Yeah this can be the cheapest deal for any notetaker

kaveinthran, to books

What are some of legal non-drm ways to own and ? I know of and . Are there any other services?

kaveinthran, to Law

I'm curious, are there any good literature review or comparative studies on various disability discrimination legislation around the world, not only in web accessibility but other areas of life? Cc @tink

kaveinthran,

@tink No worries, your compilation of disability laws on web accessibility is really great though

kaveinthran,

@tink Sorry, I think I've misattribute this resource, it's from @LFLegal https://www.lflegal.com/global-law-and-policy/
