What is the best way to offer you text-to-speech in my video game? Should I build it in myself? Or should I somehow make the text available to external screen reading plugins you already have installed?
What is the best way to enable text-to-speech? I'm trying to imagine how a blind person would find the toggle in a settings menu they can't see. The only way I can think of around that would be to enable it by default and have an option for users who don't want it to disable it at the beginning, but that sounds cumbersome. Is there a better middle option? Is there a commonly-used keyboard shortcut I can enable or something?
A total solar eclipse will move across the U.S. on Monday, April 8. People who are blind or visually impaired will be able to experience it as they grow colder and hear birdsong change along with the dimming light, but much of the effect is visual. Planetary scientists Cassandra Runyon and David Hurd have written a guide called “Getting a Feel for Eclipses,” which has tactile graphics that illustrate the paths of the 2017, 2023 and 2024 eclipses. They write for @TheConversationUS about why they made it, and how it works.
It seems to be the case that I have aphantasia. I am unable to conjure an actual visual-ish mental image at will.
I can "see" what I'm thinking about, but it's in a different space -- it's not visual. Not easy to explain. My dreams are very vivid and movie-like. It seems to be an inability to conjure images at will.
I'm disappointed to learn that I lack this seemingly amazing ability that most people have.
