@dauwhe Dolphin EasyReader. Open the title, go to "Text settings", enable "Show image descriptions".

@dean_equity Save As DAISY is being revived and is in beta. If this isn't a great solution for you it would be good to know of any issues daisy.org/activities/sof…

I want to convert a Word document to Daisy. I would use the web interface or an app on Windows. I have spent more time than I would like finding and figuring out Pipeline 2 with no result. I'm not incompetent but I feel like it. Any suggestions?

Excited that @accessibledaisy and our partners are training on Accessible Publishing in Africa in English, French, and Arabic

@LauraB7 I hope that soon you will have a wonderful new office and will be making fantastic new memories ❤️

@Johnny_Ravo Congratulations on this appointment and hope there are opportunities to collaborate with @accessibledaisy on education technology initiatives!

I am extremely honoured and proud to announce that I am the new President of the International Council for Education and (Re)habilitation of People with Visual Impairment Europe (ICEVI Europe). I hope I can serve half as well as the last President Hans Welling. I am delighted!

@ColibrioReader Other, word highlight with choice of colour(giving the ability to not have it). Not my personal view, based on user feedback.

Question, for word-highlighting in TTS, which do you prefer?

@ColibrioReader As an addition to themes, yes. Some people need quite specific combinations of colours for a comfortable reading experience.

Question, would you like the option to select your own color palette in a reading system? Instead of the traditional light, sepia and dark.

How can books be made more accessible for readers who are visually impaired or print-disabled? @UN has taken crucial steps forward in this area with their Accessible Books Consortium – follow the link to find out more: #timeline" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">anniversary.archive.org/#timeline #accessibility #InternetArchive25

@ColibrioReader And I have just finished reading a complete book in the app, switching between tablet and smartphone. It worked very smoothly and there are plenty of ways to adjust for how I like to read. Thank you!

WOOT 🥳 I pressed the launch button! The Colibrio Reader app is now publicly available to one and all on the Google Play store! play.google.com/store/apps/det… As previously promised, the iOS version is close behind 😊

@CraftyGingerJo @musicalgal123 @CatchTheseWords @BlondeHistorian The RNIB library is open to people with print impairments other than vision. Lots of wonderful audio titles there, and also UK educational content on RNIB Bookshare rniblibrary.com rnibbookshare.org

I see the audio books aren't real books discourse has started yet again. Reading does not require sight. I have never visually read a book. I read through touch or by listening. The idea that this means I've never really read is laughable.

@CopyrightRuth @Andy_Tattersall My dog has an equafleece summer suit for muddy winter walks and runs. Longer legs than the fleece version, which is used as a bath robe

@Andy_Tattersall Tempted to get one of those for L man... does it save muddy baths afterwards?

@mygulstad @HugoSetzer @ABCbooks4all Lots of topics are covered, including rights and responsibilities, reading apps and devices, creating accessible digital publications from print or image only PDF, producing DAISY audio, EPUB and Braille. I hope soon we develop new lessons on math and other STEM topics.

@HugoSetzer @ABCbooks4all Great initiative @ways2read I wonder, what skills do you learn? using WordToEPUB - or Ace certifying epubs? or just reflowable text with headings?

Great News! WIPO’S ⁦@ABCbooks4all⁩ Launches Its First Online Course in Accessible Book Production accessiblebooksconsortium.org/news/en/2021/n…

@MaryLToronto @ariehkovler Very helpful if you are writing alt text for the screenshot you just took.

What's the best Windows software for quickly clipping and *annotating* a screenshot? Like Snip & Sketch but with annotation, ideally

@jennylayfluffy @surface Well jell. My first gen Surface Book has been school for my daughter since March, it has been flawless.

New toy! Love the new packaging on the @surface book 3. Easy, quick and no plastic. Beautiful. Video was a family effort. Kiddo (13) did the captions, and the dogs helped.. kinda.

@AccessBoard @sdpavithran Yes! Excellent choice!

The Board is pleased to announce the naming of its new Executive Director: Dr. Sachin Dev Pavithran @sdpavithran

That was a very cool and informative webinar!
