I know that the new Macs with M1 chips are amazing. But, I am getting good deal on the 2017 model of MacBook air, the one with the Intel chip. As I do want to have Windows on my Mac as well, do you think MacBook Air 2017 is a good choice for next 5 to 6 years?
How long will it be getting MacOS updates? Will it be able to run Windows 11?
Most importantly, How is it's Keyboard? Will it break down easyly? Will it be expensive to fix if it breaks?

Can anybody tell me if the Griffin iTalk App is accessible with VoiceOver?

What phone do people recommend for someone who is partially sighted. One that someone can speak into and it will type out the message and then send it and will also read out text messages that come in. One that has the best accessibility for someone who is severely sight impaired.

Bought 5th generation iPod Touchs for a blind newstand manager at the state Capitol and my 18 year old nephew with CP but home button too difficult to push; what are the alternatives for external triggering of Siri?

I'm looking for a dock or other accessory that can allow me to connect my iPod Touch or iPhone to a PA system without everybody having to hear VoiceOver. This will be used for music during the breaks at band gigs. I currently can't use my iPod or iPhone for break music because the only way I currently have to connect it to the PA system is through the headphone jack, and I don't want people to have to hear VoiceOver and the music constantly auto-ducking for it. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a perkins style bluetooth keybord for the IPhone? I currently have the hable1 and I like it but typing braille with the keys in a vertical fassion instead of a perkins style layout is going to take some getting use to. If there is one thing I would change about the hable1 so far it would be that. Perhaps they designed it that way because of the size.
Thanks,
Troy

Hi Everyone.
I am visually impaired and work with software development / machine learning.
I would like to dedicate some time to create open source ML-based applications for the blind.
Do you know if there is a smart glass with camera support which I could capture the camera stream and process the video in my custom application?
I read that the new Meta glasses could livestream to facebook and instagram. However I am not sure if I could create a custom app to get the data.
I would appretiate any help/ideas.

Hi guys. I just got a HomePod. When I set it up, it was using the Siri voice, but it was still running the first ever release for HomePod. After updating it, voiceover just plain broke. I had to reset the HomePod, and when it came back, voiceover was using Samantha compact. Is this expected behavior?

Hi all,
Has anyone notice that the HookeAudio app is still up on the AppStore? for me I did. the app hasn't been updated since December 2020. here's the bad news: their main sight is gone. On the other hand, their twitter is still up, but hasn't been updated since December 2020.
I remembered we all used to receive updates from Anthony and the rest of the team, but it has recently been completely quiet. Is this the end? I still have the Hooke Verse, which I no longer use. so I'm just wondering.

good evening everyone,
I am using an iPhone XR with the latest version of IOS. I am having truble with Bluetooth speakers cutting out randomly when streaming Netflics or Disney Plus. Things are just fine when I have content that is already downloaded on my phone and the problem is when I try to watch something when streaming.
I have a Bose Soundlink Color II and a Mini Soundlink.
Does anyone else have this kind of issue. I'm not sure if this is an IOS bug or something with my wifi.
Any help would be appreciated. Many, many thanks.

For the last couple of days, I've noticed a very troubling issue with my phone's battery. I have it plugged in, and its still losing charge. Yesterday, I plugged it in when the battery was around fifty percent. When I used my phone a few hours later, it had dropped to 47 percent, even though it was on the charger. Just a few minutes ago, I went to check the notifications and found that my phone was at 99 percent, also on the charger. Doe anybody know what could be causing this issue, and more importantly, how I can fix it?

I recently purchased bluetooth speakers made by Inateck. While I've been pleased with the sound and performance, I do have one nagging issue. When VoiceOver talks over the speakers, there seems to be a fraction of a second delay in connecting. As a result, the first syllable is often lost. Is this a common problem? I've searched AppleVis but haven't seen this problem mentioned.

I am usingh IOS 9.1 on an IPhone 6S+. I paired my new Keys2Go Bluetooth Keyboard to the phone and was able to use Quick Nav etc. Trouble is that, when I try to type into edit fields, for example, creating text messages, characters typed are often repeated, spaces are missed out and, in general, the message is unintelligibal. Is there any way to sort this, in order that I can use the keyboard to enter text more easily to my IPhone, for texting, Notes, WORD etc? If there is a workaround, could someone on here please give step-by-step instructions?

Hello. I'm having difficulty getting my MacBook Pro 2015 to allow a second headset through an aggregate device. I have set the aggregate device up through Audio/midi setup, and selected the headsets, including checking the drift option.. When I move to the sound preferences, and select the aggregate as the output and input, I get sound from only 1 headset. I am using a Logitech headset and a G-force gaming headset connected to the Mac with a USB hub. I am running the latest version of High Sierra.

Hello, so I am facing a bit of a dilemma. I have an Amazon echo. And while I like it. I am strongly considering purchasing a HomePod. Especially because I am very deep into the Apple ecosystem. The question that I have is, is it worth the $300 that Apple is asking for? I do like how it sounds. Because I saw a demo at my local Apple store. So I definitely would like some opinions from people who have one. Or from people that I’ve ordered the new one but Apple released this week. All comments are welcome.
