  Thread: For the past 4 years, I have been posting monthly roundups to audiogames.net talking about any new interesting blind friendly games or accessibility mods coming out. If you're looking for something to play or are curious what's going on, I'm going to be posting them in this thread. To start, here is the last digest of 2025, which covers all blind friendly game releases I heard about both on the audiogames.net forum and off throughout December and even into the new year and bo...

  Finally took the time to test the new interactive music/Live learning platform Ableton has been building at https://learn.ableton.com and it's a beauty with screen readers. Everything is explained clearly and there's really good use of keyboard shortcuts.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@NikJov/116901666365401462 This isn't talked about much at least that I've seen, but I feel like this single feature, if it also gets implemented on Android and starts being utilised by developers, could go a very long way in making web apps as efficient to navigate as native mobile ones. Some categories of apps could get massive productivity boosts from this.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@daringfireball/116874136968141533 That's a real shame. My thoughts basically echo the author. I don't use Dropbox other than for shared folders I occasionally need to interact with and a large part of that is how unwieldy the official client has gotten and doesn't count to the frankly rediculous 3 device limit. Maestral is tiny in comparison. And whenever I do need to do something in the mobile apps on the website the amount of popups telling me to upgra...

  For any users of VAL, I just converted all the voices that came with the old Say the Time Windows/Android app into Val clocks. The archive also comes with all the alternate chimes and alarms if you want to swap them out before importing. Edit: Download and import again, I just fixed the 0 not being spoken. https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0f6bN-IVmsfVQ3VP0Jkawlp9Q#say_the_time_voices

  Reading about the new generation of Recaptcha requiring android phones to pass google play attestation and I'm thinking this will have accessibility implications for blind users. Beyond the point that this will lock out custom roms and mobile devices that aren't iOS or Android, at least where I live for example there's a lot of people who use Blind Shell phones (which are essentially an Android phone with a oldschool keypad to work more like a Nokia phone of the past.) An...

  Hello from the other side of the 64-bit NVDA migration, which honestly turned out way better than expected. Kinda feels like Y2k where because there was so much chatter about it both NVDA and addon developers reacted very quickly. The synthesizer situation also ended up being a nothing burger and I say this in a good way. We went from older SAPI 4 and 5 voices just quietly getting dropped from the compatibility layer being ready on-time, so credit where credit's due to NVAccess for that....

  Here's something a lot of companies could learn from Nintendo of all companies. The Switch 2 console has had a text to speech feature, but not for the first time setup. The newest firmware fixed this and now you can hold down a button to turn on speech. Except, any units in the wild won't have this for a while and be on an older version. So what'd Nintendo do? They have a gigantic article on their website detailing how to do the setup blind up to the point where the conso...
