A Reminder for CSUN 2024 Number 39 March 18 to 24 2024



I’m really looking forward to this years 39TH conference, especially in the realm of AI.

Some Very Interesting JAWS, and Fusion Updates for March 2024



Picture Smart AI for me is the outstanding feature in this JAWS update, using the power of AI to fully describe images on a social media page or in. A file on your pC.

Fantastic interview with Dean Blazie from Blazie Technologies with Jonathan Mosen 



Sometimes nice to see how things workout for folks, and how things came to be.

Braille Web Word Puzzle Game



This web based Braille word puzzle game by guessing the number of dots to make up a word is fun -

What I believe Should be Labelled as a Bug with the Envision AI app on BSC2



If the BSC@ folks know that Google sign in on the BSC2 doesn’t work, then why let Envision AI app for the BSC2 offer it?



Apple Releases iOS and iPad OS 17.4



For me the outstanding feature for iOS 17.4 for us outside of the EU is the transcription option now in Apple Podcasts where you can jump and start listening to a spot in the podcast transcribed text, not to mention the accessibility for people who are deaf blind.

Mac OS 10.4, TV OS 10.4, and Watch OS 10.4 Released



Nothing earth shattering for accessibility. However, in Mac OS, you now have the option in VO Utility for the Left/Right QuickNav option to toggle on Single key QuickNav as well as QuickNav itself.

Apple Also Quietly Released 10 new Accessories



Watch bands, iPhone cases, and a welkin stand for the Apple TV 4K to enhance using your iPhone as a camera when on FaceTime calls.
