How Do I Tell The Difference? | Aaron Di Blasi, Publisher, Top Tech Tidbits (4.5% of all clicks.) Here at Tidbits we monitor many different BVI listservs and the following questions were recently asked and answered in a somewhat fragmented fashion, so we thought that it might help to sort these questions out here, in complete detail, once and for all. And I believe the very best way to do that is to simply answer the questions that were asked in the most straightforward manner possible. One by one. So here goes: https://www.toptechtidbits.com/112.html 2) No Top Tech Tidbits Sponsorship Packages Currently Available If you would like to secure a Top Tech Tidbits Sponsorship Package in the future we encourage you to add your company or organization name to our waiting list today by sending an email to our Publisher.

It's a powerful tool that reimagines how technology can enhance independence and mobility, and was built with the help of Guide Dogs UK and San Francisco Lighthouse for the blind, organizations that empower the blind and people with low vision with technology, training and more. Throughout National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Microsoft shared examples of how advances in technology can make a difference in the lives of the more than 1 billion people with disabilities around the world, and in this video, Amos Miller shows CEO Satya Nadella how he uses the app to navigate the Microsoft campus in Redmond: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmbQGCZmgsU 7) What Is WordPress And Should You Use It? While this article is not specific to accessibility, I, Aaron Di Blasi, Publisher for Top Tech Tidbits, and web developer for Mind Vault Solutions, Ltd., can attest to the general accessibility of the WordPress suite for blind, visually impaired, deaf, deafblind and disabled website developers. Here at Mind Vault we host WordPress websites for several BVI clients that in turn administrate these sites themselves through WordPress. It is an incredibly flexible and accessible platform for web development and this article outlines many of the reasons that I recommend it to clients so often: https://www.androidauthority.com/what-is-wordpress-3199470/ 8) Apple Fixed a Serious iOS Security Flaw — Have You Updated Yet? Plus: Chrome patches another zero-day flaw, Microsoft closes up 100 vulnerabilities, Android gets a significant patch, and more: https://www.wired.com/story/apple-fixed-a-serious-ios-security-flaw-have-you-updated-yet/ 9) Making Events Accessible The W3C's Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) has updated the article, "Checklist for meetings, conferences, training, and presentations that are remote/virtual, in-person, or hybrid".

It changed a few years ago to behave differently from what most Office users expect. Ctrl + F6 will switch (cycle through) the open windows in Word or PowerPoint. It's a quick way to move between different documents/slides. Since Windows doesn't have a global shortcut to cycle through open windows of an app, it's a useful shortcut to remember: https://office-watch.com/2022/ctrl-f6-mystery-revealed-in-excel/ 16) An Introduction and Overview of Pages for macOS (The 2022 Edition) To help start off a new school year, Tyler gives us a podcast demonstration covering some of the aspects of Pages for macOS using VoiceOver: https://www.applevis.com/podcasts/introduction-overview-pages-macos-2022-edition 17) SuperNova 21.03 Now Available We are pleased to announce that a free update is now available for all SuperNova and Dolphin screen reader customers running version 21: https://yourdolphin.com/en-gb/news?id=522 18) How To Make A Non-Contiguous Selection in Microsoft Word And File Explorer Using NVDA | YouTube | User Thee Quinn Watch this video to find out how to make a non-contiguous selection in Microsoft Word and in File explorer with NVDA. This video was frequently suggested in my comments. The Clip Contents Designer add on is also featured in this video to make non-contiguous selection of text. Check out my website for the transcript for the video (website link is in the video description). Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRPRmUw0cqQ&t=3s 19) How to Use the Emergency SOS Feature on Your Smartphone Let's hope you never need it — but it's important to know how it works on your phone: https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-use-emergency-sos-smartphone/ 20) Cache the World Opt-In Preview From Mozilla Firefox Firefox's accessibility engine dates back many, many years, having received a hurried but less than ideal update with Firefox's move to a multi-process architecture about 5 years ago. The current Firefox multi-process accessibility architecture suffers from considerable, sometimes catastrophic performance issues and is more costly and difficult to maintain than they would like. These deficiencies prompted the team to design and build a newer, faster and more maintainable accessibility engine and the team has dubbed that project "Cache the World". It's called that because the new engine automatically sends information from web content processes to a cache in the browser's main process for consumption by assistive technologies: https://blog.mozilla.org/accessibility/cache-the-world-opt-in-preview/ 21) Six Months With Android: A Journey From A Blind Perspective During the last six months, I've used Android exclusively as my primary device. I made calls with it, texted with it, read emails with it, browsed the web, Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook with it, and played games on it. Now, I'm going to express my thoughts on it, its advancements, and its issues. This will contain mostly opinions, or entirely opinions, depending on whether you really love Android or not. But whatever your stance, these are my experiences with the operating system. My issues may not be your issues, and so on: https://medium.com/@r.d.t.prater/six-months-with-android-a-journey-from-a-blind-perspective-8637fa92fad4 22) News From The Technology Field | Perkins School for the Blind Read about the latest news, participate in surveys, and learn about upcoming events and opportunities for educators and/or students with low vision and blindness: https://www.perkins.org/paths-to-technology/news-updates-for-assistive-technology/ 23) Microsoft Edge Dev 106.0.1363.0 Update Improves Narration Microsoft Edge Dev's Narrator can now read aloud a thumbs up or down following a recent update: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/microsoft-edge-dev-106013630-update-improves-narration 24) NV Access In-Process for August 25th 2022 We've got lots of new things this week, including a surprise release and a new beta: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-25th-august-2022/ 25) TPGi Newsletter | July 2022 | The Insider News On Accessibility — Straight From The Experts Topics include: Humans and Machines in Accessibility Testing | Section 508 Checklist for Accessibility | Make Any Web Page Accessible | Ensure Third Party Content is Accessible | Improve Your Accessibility Testing Skills With FREE ARC Training Sessions: https://email.tpgi.com/july-accessibility-newsletter-from-tpgi 26) Ten Amazing AI Websites That You Can Try Right Now This article, written by Tidbits Publisher Aaron Di Blasi for Mind Vault Solutions, Ltd., is not specific to accessibility, but we're including it in this week's Tidbits because we believe that a few of the tools may have benefit to BVI individuals as they develop, in addition to providing all readers with a general sense of the current state of AI: https://mvsltd.com/news/ten-amazing-ai-websites-that-you-can-try-right-now/ 27) Freedom Scientific September 2022 Training Events The Freedom Scientific training team offers ongoing opportunities for you to join live training sessions and advance your skills: https://blog.freedomscientific.com/september-2022-training-events/ 28) 3D Printing Could Improve Accessibility By Helping Blind Scientists to Read Data Accessibility, especially in academia, has been a topic of conversation for quite some time. People with a wide range of disabilities have the right to certain accommodations in order to allow them to work or study at the same level, however, often places do not even do the bare minimum. Thankfully, one Baylor Study has now shown how that does not need to be the case for blind scientists thanks to 3D printing. They hope that by turning scientific data into tactile graphics, they will be able to eliminate barriers that have caused the exclusion of individuals with blindness from pursuing chemistry education: https://www.3dnatives.com/en/3d-printing-blind-scientists-260820224/ 29) 'Mind-Reading' Technology Can Turn Brain Activity Into Images Researchers at Radboud University in the Netherlands have developed technology that can "read minds" by turning a person's neurological activity into stunningly accurate pictures: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/339085-mind-reading-technology-can-turn-brain-activity-into-images 30) Human Sight Could Be Restored for Blind People, Thanks to These 4 New Technologies From a photovoltaic retinal prosthesis to visual stimulation through ultrasound waves, these futuristic techniques offer hope for blindness: https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/a40835515/future-technologies-to-restore-sight/ 31) Neosensory Launches New Hearing Loss Solution, Outperforming Hearing Aids Neosensory, a technology company designing breakthrough solutions for hearing health, is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest solution: a wristband for people with hearing loss to experience speech without hearing aids or invasive surgery.

The Award for Excellence in Accessibility Leadership recognizes a lifetime of achievement in arts access, and was presented to Kim for her avid championing of audio description and life-long accessibility advocacy: https://www.acb.org/kim-charlson-lead-award-2022 4) Why Getting More People With Disabilities Developing Technology Is Good for Everyone It's not just a matter of fairness and inclusion. Accessible technology is generally better for everyone. An app or website that causes problems for a screen reader is likely to be more difficult than an accessible app or website for anyone to use because it will take more time or effort: https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/why-getting-more-people-with-disabilities-developing-technology-is-good-for-everyone/ 5) Blind Caregiver Doesn't Let Disability Slow Her Down From Caring For Bethesda Seniors A Bethesda, Maryland blind caregiver is being recognized for her service to seniors living in the community: https://wjla.com/news/local/bethesda-maryland-blind-caregiver-michelle-lindsay-disability-seniors-griswold-home-care-griswold-home-care-living-facility-doctor-jamaica 6) UOW's 3D-Printed Models Help Teach Chemistry To Vision-Impaired Students A University of Wollongong lecturer has created a set of 3D-printed models of the body's molecules to make sure visually impaired students in his chemistry classes don't miss out on learning the intricacies of molecular biology: https://www.theadvocate.com.au/story/7875167/3d-printed-models-help-teach-chemistry-to-vision-impaired-students/ 7) Pieces of the Past: Cultural Artifacts Uncovered by PG&E Help Educate Visually-impaired Community Napa County — While working to restore power and remove hazardous trees after the 2017 Nuns Fire, a PG&E forester found what turned out to be ancient artifacts in the mountains west of Napa that shed new light on the region's rich cultural history: https://www.pgecurrents.com/2022/08/24/pieces-of-the-past-cultural-artifacts-uncovered-by-pge-help-educate-visually-impaired-community/ 8) Disneyland Paris Introduces Audio Description Across the Resort for Those Who Are Visually Impaired Disneyland Paris is introducing audio description across the resort for those who are visually impaired.

The new audio descriptions help visually impaired and blind guests experience the magic even more with audio descriptions at attraction entrance and also inside to add more immersion to their experience. There are also descriptions for restaurants and their menus as well: https://dapsmagic.com/2022/08/disneyland-paris-unveils-new-audio-descriptions-for-hearing-impaired/ 10) IRS Continues to Work Toward Accessibility for All Taxpayers It can be intimidating to receive correspondence from the IRS — but what if you couldn't understand any of it? https://news.bloombergtax.com/financial-accounting/irs-continues-to-work-toward-accessibility-for-all-taxpayers ➜ Surveys ✍ Submit your adaptive technology-related survey for consideration within this section using this form: https://www.toptechtidbits.com/submit-survey or locate "Survey Submission Form" within the main menu of the Top Tech Tidbits website. 1) Surveys: From APH Closes: Ongoing Surveys help inform APH of the greatest needs in the community so they can gear their efforts toward making sure those needs are met.

You don't have to be an "expert" or have any special certifications. Anyone with something to share related to accessibility on the web or in WordPress is invited to apply. You can share your journey learning about accessibility or your experience as a person with a disability even if you don't think you've reached the end of that journey yet. Your topic doesn't have to be explicitly WordPress related. While we want some talks specific to WordPress and want to encourage developer-level presentations, not all talks need to be specific to WordPress. General website accessibility talks with broad applications for websites of all types and people of all levels of technical abilities are welcome.
