We got a wonderful package in the mail this week. Our 2021 Special Recognition Achievement Award from the American Council of the Blind's #AudioDescription Project! Thanks again to @ACBnational and @ADPwebmaster for this amazing honour.
Ready for part two of our episode on #AI generated description? In the first episode we gave #BeMyAI some easy, straightforward images to describe. This time, we try to get saucy. Emphasis on TRY! #a11y#AudioDescription#BlindTwitter https://t.co/uhepQWqZ2v
Have you experienced #AI generated visual description recently? It’s gotten shockingly impressive very fast! This week we examine real world examples of AI Description in the first of a two part series. #AudioDescription#A11y https://t.co/ZipJT9rpej
Bonus episode! Today Christine goes on a guided walk through Warden Woods Ravine with Arborist Todd Irvine and friend of the #podcast Describer @SinghRebecca. Check it out! #AudioDescription https://t.co/ymVXFyfItG
Do you know the story of Toronto’s Little Jamaica neighbourhood, or Africville in Halifax? Have you heard the legend of John “Daddy” Hall? Ever been to Rockhead’s Paradise in the Harlem of the North? Hear JJ tell these description-rich #BHM stories at:

Speaking as the Chris half of TalkDescription, when my third party Twitter ap is snuffed out I'll stop contributing to this lovely feed. However we can be found on Mastodon at [email protected]
So lovely to chat with Shawn on the Limitless Blind Beginnings podcast. We got to revisit the TD2Me world, and briefly tour the universe. Check it out! https://t.co/G2T7UYwsGV
I'll be hosting this Zoom event Feb. 2, 7 pm ET, an audio described recording of the @MusicalStageCo production Dixon Road, the story of a Somali family who immigrate to Canada in 1991. free, register at [email protected]
@coryjmc Wow, so interesting. I don't know why scientists don't just keep studying this until they understand it; it's so taken for granted, but so inexplicable.
To honour and celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth the @CNIB invited me to gather stories from Black history in Canada, and tailor the telling to a #Blind audience. These description-rich stories are now available as a podcast. #BHM#BlindTwitter#AudioDescription https://t.co/SMfcPifavk
@Jennissary Yeah, harder to assess in a big city or something. My only experience of it is hearing conversations stop as I approach and resume after I've passed, so the awareness of being stared at is cognative rather than whatever telepathy is going on for sighted folk who experience it.
I’m preoccupied by that thing where sighted people feel like they’re being looked at, then they turn and find someone staring at them. I’ve always been blind and never experienced it. Why don’t people call this telepathy? Have other blind people experienced it? -C
@realjoshurban Oh for a library of 3D models of fictional space ships. SciFi geeks who don't experience the world visually miss out, cause there usually isn't time in audio description of movies or TV for the extended descriptions we crave.
We're establishing ourselves on Mastidon. All the kids are doing it! I'm working hard to rein in my Flinstones jokes. You can find us at [email protected]
@MrBrokenEyes Remember when Fred had to go back to high school, and dipped a fellow students hair in the ink, and had to go sit in the corner waring a dunce cap? I bet he didn't sit there stoney-faced. -C
