[NFB-Idaho] Ally, an accessible A.I. app for your phone

[Donald Winiecki]

Hi Jennie! It's always a rush to learn how members of NFB-Idaho are leading
in the world of accessibility!

I wasn't so much posting about that app for myself as to inform our other
NFB-Idaho members. If you have advice for us on how to make best use of it,
I'm sure we will all be very happy to learn from you!

Best,



DON WINIECKI
