Good morning. Testing writing a tweet using #Leasey.

@jay_biblio alt+f4

I ad a question come up about Zoom in training, and I can’t figure it out. I thought the Meeting Chat panel (Alt+H) was a toggle, but pressing it doesn’t seem to close the panel. Is there another way to close it?

@jay_biblio Subscribe to the ACB community podcast and you'll get these along with a bunch of other stuff.

@FreedomSci Do the presentations you all do on ACB get archived as the webinars are? As one who is training people to use Jaws and wants to get better at this myself, I would really like to hear these on Word but am sometimes at work or in transit so unable to listen

Tune into ACB Radio on 3/23 at 3 PM ET for the Vispero Presentation: Use JAWS Quick Settings to Check Document Formatting in Word. We’ll show you #JAWS Quick settings for checking formatting in a Word document. Subscribe: bit.ly/3y6lqlB

@BlindInstituteT It's a great course, well-conducted, and a great opportunity.

We are so glad to have the opportunity to offer this course for the first time, to those seeking careers in digital accessibility. Thanks so much to James for teaching, and to the students for their continued hard work and tenacity.

Our Digital Accessibility Analyst course is in full swing, and here’s what instructor James has to say about it:

@illegallyBlind Notey is a cool idea. Hope JAWS Find can search text files. Don't know how far you will want to take this. It would be great to have basic web browsing, as modern notetakers have. Also to be able to view context menus for any app or any context.

Windows RSS reader do people use?

@dennisl @EasyChirp Do you have any insight on ways to become a competent Accessibility auditor/analst, for a person with good screen reader knowledge and growing understanding of WCAG?

@ruha9 I'm blind, and Twitter is removing access to 3rd-party clients that allow me to use Twitter efficiently. Your posts are among the few I will actually miss. Where else if anywhere do you post?

@mehgcap I'm here and not on Mastodon.

With the continued decline of Twitter, and especially with the downfall of most custom clients, I'm curious who among my followers is still here? More to the point, who's here who isn't also on Mastodon? I don't post much here because I feel like it'll be seen by far fewer people

@HartgenConsult Well,I haven't used any other e-mail addresses for years except topdot@gmail.com. And indeed I can just go to the site!

@dean_equity Ah but yours Dean has gone to another Email address because that is what is on the order.

We've had the occasional report that people have not received the Leasey upgrade Email. They've all been sent out, but because they had a number of links in there, it may be in your junk email folder. However, if you've pre-ordered, you're all set anyway.

@ruha9 We're starting an in-depth study of #ViralJustice on Tuesday, 7:00 Eastern. Zoom. Mixed group, racially and faithwise. DM or email topdot@gmail.com for Zoom info.

@HartgenConsult looking forward to that Leasey update!

Given the recent Twitter catastrophe of switching off access to third party clients which access the service, which could come any time, we will speed up the release of the next release of Leasey, which does contain some useful tools to help with Mastodon and WhatsApp.

@MyDealSecrets Because the Seahawks beat the Lions so that gives them the tie-braker.

Sports people: Explain to me why the #DetroitLions don't get to go to the playoffs when they finished with the same record as the Seahawks. I'm sure it has something to do with fractions or RBIs or some such... #sportsball

@Princeton Thanks for the podcast link. Our racial justice book study group will be digging into #ViralJustice via Zoom for a couple months starting in January.

.@PrincetonAAS professor @ruha9 joined @TPRNews' "The Source" podcast to discuss the changes society can make to combat systemic racism. 🎧 bit.ly/3Wmpc4r

@BryanSmart I'm not sure who proved that or where that is written. When JAWS works and is properly scripted, the result is very efficient for the user. I wouldn't want to have to use Narrator in a professional setting! Good to have options though.

I completely agree with this blog post. I highly recommend you check it out. Also, it’s another example of someone who is untrained having a microphone and making statements that are verifiably false.

@mehgcap Little Drummmer Boy all the way!

Which Christmas song is your least favorite? That song that makes you cringe when it comes on? The one you would throw into the sun if you could? Mine is Little Drummer Boy. You may choose two if one is too hard.

@BryanSmart They have to add things whether we want them or not. Maybe somebody wants all that functionality, but I just like messages!

@blindconfucius @patbouchard Last year, I could get NHL radio broadcasts in the app. I'm not finding that so far, maybe don't know where to look? As a Kraken fan, I wasn't so happy about that game, but unfortunately not surprised.

Troy! Terry! For the win! And you gotta love the key assist from Gibby the goalie! A comeback to welcome back the hockey season. I'm smiling! #FlyTogether
