I needed to track some food for my summer class and an alternative that I brought up was My fitness Pal. I knew the paid subscription would allow me to get the information that was required for the course. In my experience in the past with the app was that it had lots of accessibility bugs so I did not think that the paid subscription would make a difference with accessibility. My college did some research and found out that the paid subscription was more accessible. This was found out by them noticing that the American Federation of the Blind reviewed it and said it was accessible. I am looking for information of anyone who may use the My Fitness Pal paid subscription and if they notice that it is accessible. I am also looking to get information about the AFB because I have never heard of them. This is not the first time my college has brought them up. So I was wondering if anyone knows anything about them and how good of an organization they are. Thanks.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I have spoken to the Dean of the accessibility department today and she has told me that they may have signed a contract with a visually describing service but she can not remember the name of it. I highly suggested Aira for my college to get. This would make it so much easier for me to get sighted help with out having to go through accessibility to make an appointment so they can find someone to be my describer. I will see how the dean considers it. This dean has only been at my college for about a year so she is pretty new to my campus and how it needs lots of improvements in accessibility.</div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Yours truely,<br><br>Asia Quinones-Evans<br><br>Phone: 440-670-6509<br>Email: <a href="mailto:aevans.nfb@gmail.com" target="_blank">aevans.nfb@gmail.com</a><br><br><br>Live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back</div>
