The screen reader has for many years been an essential piece of software for people with sight loss who wish to read text that is displayed on a computer or mobile phone screen through speech output. On the show this week we compare and contrast two popular screen readers for Microsoft Windows, NVDA from NV Access and JAWS from Freedom Scientific. We explain the difference between both, and what benefits there from using one over the other.

Get Together with Technology (GTT) Sponsored by the Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB) Show Notes: June 17, 2020 Theme: Internet Browsing Presenter: Gerry Chevalier Gtt.edmonton@gmail.com In this 30 minute 7th episode of the Windows from the Keyboard series, Gerry discusses Internet browsing including basic navigation and tab browsing. He covers these topics using the Freedom Scientific Surfs Up web site which he suggests contains an excellent set of self-paced lessons to learn how to browse and use the Internet. Gerry also shows how to copy the address of a web site to another program such as email or MS Word. He then shows how to download a file from the Internet by downloading the installation file for the NVDA screen reader from NV Access. He concludes the episode by showing how to configure the default browser ap using the Default Apps portion of the Windows System Settings.

The CCB was incorporated by Letters Patent on May 10, 1950 and is a registered charity under the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The purpose of the CCB is to give people with vision loss a distinctive and unique perspective before governments.  CCB deals with the ongoing effects of vision loss by encouraging active living and rehabilitation through peer support and social and recreational activities.   CCB promotes measures to conserve sight, create a close relationship with the sighted community and provide employment opportunities. The CCB recognizes that vision loss has no boundaries with respect to gender, income, ethnicity, culture, other disabilities or age.  The CCB understands in many instances vision loss is preventable and sometimes is symptomatic of other health issues.  For the 21st century, the CCB is committed to an integrated proactive health approach for early detection to improve the quality of life for all Canadians. As the largest membership organization of the blind and partially sighted in Canada the CCB is the "Voice of the Blind™".  GTT is an exciting initiative of the Canadian Council of the Blind, founded in Ottawa in 2011 by Kim Kilpatrick and Ellen Goodman.  GTT aims to help people who are blind or have low vision in their exploration of low vision and blindness related access technology.  Through involvement with GTT participants can learn from and discuss assistive technology with others walking the same path of discovery.  GTT is made up of blindness related assistive technology users, and those who have an interest in using assistive technology designed to help blind and vision impaired people level the playing field.  GTT groups interact through social media, and periodically meet in-person or by teleconference to share their passions for assistive technology and to learn what others can offer from their individual perspectives.  CCB National Office 100-20 James Street Ottawa ON  K2P 0T6 Toll Free: 1-877-304-0968 Email: info@ccbnational.net URL: www.ccbnational.net

Welcome to the 10th EBU Access Cast. We are extremely happy that our podcast reached the 10th Episode so far, and we hope that we will keep you interested in the future as well. For you this time Mario, Jakob and Tanja prepared lots of goodies and Bart was very busy with preparing 3 nice interviews which you can listen in the second half of this Episode. But before the interviews, let's check what's new in the news Section. New option called accessibility events appeared under accessibility settings in the newest version for Voice Over users on Mac and iOS. While potentially this can be a nice feature which could help developers to detect that the user is using assistive Technologies on their web sites, the option is concerned as a privacy issue for some users. Another very nice app called Voice Dream Scanner which is able to do very good and fast OCR recognition recently appeared on the appstore, so Jakob told us his Opinion about it. You can check out more here and listen to a podcast with demonstration of the Voice Dream Scanner. New update for NVDA appeared as well from NVAccess, and this time it fixes a few bugs found in the original NVDA 2019.1 version. Android Accessibility Suite 7.3 adds Screen Search, more continuous reading options. Next month many Europeans will vote on the European elections. However when we talk about persons with dissabilities, we have to make sure that the voting system in each countrey is accessible so we can participate in the elections as everyone else. Jakob, Mario, Tanja and Bart share their experiences about it from their perspective, and we are also bringing to you further links in the shownotes about this particular topic: EBU Statement on the European elections 2019 A fundamental right to vote: Removing barriers for people with disabilities EDF recommends 10 REASONS TO VOTE IN THE EUROPEAN ELECTIONS to persons with disabilities EDF petition European elections for all Last month in our previous episode, we covered the European Accessibility Act which in the meantime was adopted by the European Council. Next week, some of us will visit Sight City, the biggest exhibition for assistive tech products in Europe, and we hope to bring you nice interviews from there. Click here to know more about Sight City. Bart prepared 3 interviews for us this time: Interview with Susanna Laurin, recorded at the 11th edition of the Funka Accessibility Days in Stockholm: Susanna Laurin on Twitter: Interview with Saqib Shaikh, main person behind Seeing AI app, recorded at an accessibility summit organised by Microsoft in Brussels.

Quentin Christensen, Training Material Developer at NV-Access, joins us this week to talk about NVDA, the free open source Screen Reader as well as the state of screen readers in the marketplace today.

今回はAccSellクリッピング拾い読みで、iOS VoiceOverを紹介した記事、ノーマライゼーションの考え方を紹介した記事、VFOによるThe Paciello Groupの買収について話しています。 ポッドキャスト内で出ていたマイク・パチェロ氏とのインタビュー記事のキャプチャー画面です。 オープニング・トーク 今回のizuizuからのお題は「血圧」です。 Accsellクリッピング拾い読み AccSellクリッピングで紹介した記事の中から気になった話題を取り上げる「AccSellクリッピング拾い読み」、まずizuizuが「iPhoneのVoiceOverを使ったらKindleが超便利になった」という記事を取り上げています。 つづいて中根が、「ノーマライゼーションとは？ノーマライゼーションの歴史や時代背景、身近な例を紹介します！」という記事を取り上げて、実はアクセシビリティーとも深い関わりがある「ノーマライゼーション」の考え方について話しています。そして中根は、これこそがアクセシビリティーを確保する目的だと主張しています。 最後に植木が、VFOがThe Paciello Groupを買収したというニュースについて話しています。 メール・マガジンのご案内 そして、たまにはメール・マガジンの宣伝もしようということで、先週発行した第113号の内容を少し紹介しています。なお、その第113号のインタビュー記事でご登場いただいた守谷 絵美さんには、ポッドキャスト第61回にもご出演いただいていますので、こちらも併せてお聴きください。 収録後記 収録の後で思い出したのですが、The Paciello Groupは本の1年ほど前にNV Accessとの提携という話がありました。その後、この話に関して目だった動きがあったということは聞いていないのですが、今回の買収でNV Accessとの関係がどうなるのかも気になるところです。この話を思い出して、益々今回の買収に対する印象が悪くなりました。 (中根 雅文） いやあ、まさか十何年前の写真を発見されるとは！　もう十年近く更新しないまま放置された昔のサイトですが、写真はともかくインタビューの内容などは今読んでも興味深かったりして。パチェロさんとは十五年近いお付き合いなのですが、彼はニューヨーク・ヤンキースの大ファンで、会うたびに「ヤンキースタジアム、いつ行く？」と聞いてきます（笑） (植木 真） 安心してください。キャプチャーはぼかしています。 VoiceOverに関わらず、実際に読み上げられるのを体感することで、どうやって情報を伝えていこうかを考えるきっかけにもなるからいろいろ普及するといいなぁ。映画館でUDCastを試してみてね！ (山本 和泉） AccSellクリッピングの関連記事 The Paciello Group Joins VFO (VFO™) ノーマライゼーションとは？ノーマライゼーションの歴史や時代背景、身近な例を紹介します！ (LITALICO(りたりこ)発達ナビ) iPhoneのVoiceOverを使ったらKindleが超便利になった (週刊アスキー)

今回はAccSellクリッピング拾い読みで、NVDAの認定エクスパート・プログラム、Webページのアクセシビリティー・チェック、Yahoo!検索の（おんぷ）検索」について話しています。 写真：美容室でヘアカラーをするときにメガネが汚れないように渡されたメガネのつるに被せるビニールのカバー。その名も「メガネつるっとカバー」。 オープニング・トーク 今回のizuizuからのお題は「ヘアカット」です。 AccSellクリッピング拾い読み AccSellクリッピングに掲載した話題の中からこの3人が気になったものを取り上げるAccSellクリッピング拾い読み、まず中根が、NVDAの開発を手がけるNV Accessが最近開始したNVDA Certified Expertの認定プログラムについて紹介しています。 つづいて植木が、「自分でできるWebページのアクセシビリティチェック」という記事を取り上げて、アクセシビリティー・チェックについてあれこれと話しています。 そしてizuizuが、ヤフーが始めた「♪（おんぷ）検索」について話しています。 収録後記 ポッドキャストの中でも言いましたが、最近はWebアクセシビリティーのチェック・ツールが随分増えてきた印象です。それぞれいろいろと特徴があって、使い所も違うのだと思うのですが、意外にそういった情報がまとめられていない気がします。本当はAccSellでそんな情報を提供したいと思ったりもするのですが、AccSellクリッピングの更新も全然できていない現状ではだいぶ難しそうです。というわけで、そんな情報をまとめた方がいらしたらぜひお知らせください、AccSellクリッピングやポッドキャストで紹介させていただきます。 (中根 雅文） Yahoo！の♪検索をポチポチとみてみたら「そういえば音の出る絵本ってあったなぁ」って思い出しました。絵のところにセンサーが付いていて、絵に合った音がでるやつ。動物の鳴き声とかの。ということは電子書籍の絵本版とかでも音の出る絵本とか近々出そうだなぁ。もうあるのかなぁ・・・ (山本 和泉） 今年も暦の上では4月になりましたが、今日はまだ3月36日という方もいらっしゃるのではないでしょうか。ワタクシも先週末は久しぶりに完全オフとなり、のんびり過ごせましたが、月曜日からはまた3月の続きという感じの毎日。都内では桜の開花が例年よりも遅めですが、見頃を迎える頃にはしっかりお花見できるように頑張りましょう！ (植木 真） AccSellクリッピングの関連記事 「Yahoo!検索」で音を検索できる新機能「♪（おんぷ）検索」提供開始 (ITmedia) 自分でできるWebページのアクセシビリティチェック (ミツエーリンクス) NVDA Certified Expert Accreditation Now Available (NV Access)

In this Episode I’d like to give you a very brief introduction to the DAW, Reaper. It is an extremely powerful multi track audio editor that is cross platform, working on Mac and Windows. I will be concentrating on the Mac version however most of what is covered is also applicable to Windows. You can find download links at the end of this post for Reaper and OSARA. Reaper is the application and OSARA is a plugin created by NVAccess which makes it more accessible - OSARA: Open Source Accessibility for the REAPER Application. I would also recommend installing an additional plugin called SWS which expands the functionality and usability of Reaper, link also below. Whether you are on Windows or Mac, you will want to install all three, Reaper, OSARA, and SWS. To quickly check you have OSARA installed, hit the up or down arrow once you’ve opened Reaper, if VO reports “No Tracks” then your good to go. Okay, so all installed? Cool, lets go. You can use VoiceOver to explore the interface, however almost everything you’ll need is available with keyboard shortcuts. When you start Reaper for the first time, it will prompt you to set an audio device, go ahead and do this. If you don’t do this initially, you can access the preferences by pressing Cmd+P, and going to Devices in the tree view. Whilst in Preferences, I’d recommend going into Paths and setting a location for peak files to be saved. Shortcut Help F12 will toggle on and off keyboard shortcut help. This is an invaluable tool both when your new to Reaper or even when you’ve been using it for a while. When toggled on, Voice Over will report the action that is bound to whatever key/s you press. I recommend making liberal use of it. The Actions List Pressing F4 will bring up the Actions List. You’ll be placed into a search field that lets you filter the thousands of actions down to the one you’re looking for. Once you’ve done this, you can see the shortcut, or shortcuts that are assigned to it. If there’s not currently an action assigned, you can also add the shortcut from this dialog. The Import/Export button will allow you to import a another key map over your existing one, or save your own key map for a back up, or to share with others.

Just when we thought Microsoft’s new modern browser Edge would not be accessible, the folks over at NV Access had to show everyone that NVDA is literally on the Edge. While the functionality demonstrated here is only available at this time in the next release versions of the NVDA software and certainly is not recommended for production environments, the fact that it seems to be working very well gives us a very promising glimpse at what we can expect from Microsoft’s accessibility support and NVDA itself. Give this podcast a listen to hear how NVDA is successfully reading webpages in its virtual browser, just as it always has.
