I’m very interested to try Accessibility Reader. Speak screen just doesn’t work too frequently which has been a big pain for me as someone with dyslexia. www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

AI generated podcasts might be my latest favorite way to learn new things. I’d love for dialog between multiple people in books to adopt a similar style when reading a book with text-speech.

The Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard is my favorite so I’m happy to see it back on sale. www.incase.com/collections/...

Voice Dream Reader update includes new AI enhanced text-to-speech voices from Acapela for subscribers. In my opinion, these are incrementally better voices and not a massive upgrade like OpenAI’s unreleased Voice Engine.

Interesting looking AI enabled navigation device for people who are blind or low vision. glidance.io

Trying out Safari on Mac. Did the “listen to page” feature from Safari for iOS not make it to macOS yet? Are there alternatives on Safari? I’m a fan of Read Aloud for Edge so may be switching back.

This type of data makes me optimistic ☀️

Important feature especially for people who may not hear the alert on their phone. I’ve been curious why emergency alerts don’t come through on my Apple Watch. Maybe there’s a setting? www.theverge.com/2024/12/5/24...

No closed captions on the OpenAI livestream 😢. Maybe on day 2?

This is very cool 😎

The macOS video reactions strike again 🤣 youtu.be/kZzeWLOzc_4?...

Just tried AirPods hearing test hearing aid mode for the first time. It’s very powerful to have this feature in a mainstream device at a significantly lower cost than other options.
