@adamfare1996 I was told not to apply as I had a Job by my consultant. I then found the application demeaning and embarrassing, so no surprise genuine people miss out. We need attitudes to change across the board in both charities and the general public

Just incredible

[Be My Eyes @BeMyEyes]

Watch how Conchita uses the "Call a Volunteer" feature to get ready for a salsa night—all hands-free and with confidence. Together, #BeMyEyes and #Meta are making independence stylish and accessible! 💙

The "Call a Volunteer" feature will be available soon!

@BlindGuyTech Fantastic review as always by greg. Really hoping Scotland will be a first test sight in the UK for driverless vehicles

[Talking Tech @TalkingTech_uk]

@ParkerOrtolani Excited to try this will need to wait till official release as I only have one Mac

[Talking Tech @TalkingTech_uk]

@theapplehub @theinformation Not surprising an Apple glasses/sunglasses with on-board computing and connectivity to the native Iphone makes a lot more sense

[Talking Tech @TalkingTech_uk]

This is brilliant

[BlindNewWorld @BlindNewWorld]

Good news for #blind and #VisuallyImpaired fans of #soccer / #fútbol: when @Euro2024 kicks off tomorrow, all matches will be #AudioDescribed so that every fan can follow the action. ⚽ #BlindNewWorld

@appleinsider Please can you add Alt text to images going forward for screen reader users

[Aaron Zollo @zollotech]

iOS 18 gets most of what we wanted.

[Talking Tech @TalkingTech_uk]

Very excited for WWDC tonight! This feels like it has to be a real step up for Apple but doesn’t need to be revolutionary at the same time

[Talking Tech @TalkingTech_uk]

@SightScotland Could you please add Alt text to images so they are read by screen readers thank you

[Talking Tech @TalkingTech_uk]

@BlindGirlVlogs Warm plate is a must 👏🏻

[Talking Tech @TalkingTech_uk]

@ThatBlindLad All the best enjoy!

[Talking Tech @TalkingTech_uk]

@elinf88 @BlindGuyTech Completely agree sadly I think the AI will also improve but not in traditional OCR manor however would love to see something like Be My Eyes able to be utilised
