First, Mike shares a critical analysis of built-in accessibility in IOS 17, touching on Voiceover's responsiveness and improvements to Apple Music's integration with the screen reader Also, Mike interviews Ryan Jones, vice president of software development for Freedom Scientific about the JAWS 2024 public beta. The major software updates include a feature that allows a blind user to determine where their face is positioned in the camera lens. Split Braille mode lets a user split their Braille display in half, which comes in handy with documents containing footnotes or comments.

    August 2023 Edition: Accessible Entertainment on a Budget
    Aug 18 2023
    The Hot Corner is back after a two-month hiatus, and football season is coming up. This month, we're focusing on accessible entertainment on a budget using SiriusXM and an HDHomeRun. Mike shows us how to navigate the SiriusXM streaming website with its built-in accessibility shortcuts. He demonstrates how to find games and events by category using button navigation. Ryan demonstrates the technical, but mostly accessible, PC interface for the HDHomeRun over-the-air network tuner. It lets you stream live TV channels from your digital antenna across your network to PC's and smart TV's. As a side note, VO Starter, the first app to teach blind and low vision users to use the iPhone and iPad, is back with all new content. The AT Hot Corner is based off a monthly assistive technology support group which meets every month on Zoom. To learn more about joining these live meetings, or if you have a comment or suggestion about accessible entertainment on a budget, please contact us.
