Hi, I’m VixenMiah, but these days I feel more like a crone than a vixen so I’ll just go by JustMiah or Miah. Doing okay, I’m able to work and am still picking up assistive tech. I got my PC working (although still get BSOD every so often) and tried looking for games on Steam after I got NVDA working. Still trying to find games but there is hope. The Lapp is also so much better for writing than my iPad is and I really want to get ambitious about a book I’m writing - so that’s a big help. We struggle on. I’m adapting but my vision is getting more and more truly fucked. Without I’m finding screens harder and harder to use and relying mostly on screen readers.
Yeah, never ask me how I’m doing unless you have time for like a cup of coffee.
Gotta say I do love screen readers. I talk to machines and computers all the time, and it is nice that they talk to me now. I feel like I’m on the Enterprise. Still looking for the perfect voice though…
Yeah I do not use my computer near enough and mainly just use my phone with either braille screen input or my display. I switch between a few voices but not often.
