I understand that you have been working in the accessibility field for a decade and have faced some challenges in your career. It is important to share your experiences, so others may make informed decisions about their career paths. However, it is also essential to present a balanced perspective. Here's a revised version of your statement: With ten years of experience in the accessibility space, I would like to share some insights for those considering this career path. It is crucial to be aware of the potential limitations you may face within this industry. In my experience, the accessibility field often falls under the UX department, which can result in weak leadership and limited opportunities for upward mobility. As an accessibility professional, you may find that much of your time is spent educating others, which could leave you feeling as though you are not progressing or learning new skills. Additionally, the skills you develop in this field may not always be seen as valuable by businesses, leading to potential job insecurity. While passion for accessibility is commendable, it is also essential to consider the long-term prospects of a career in this space. My advice would be to continue building your accessibility knowledge alongside your current career, ensuring that you maintain a balance between following your passion and securing a stable and rewarding professional future.
Hi. Great presentation. Thank you for it. The pdf link isn't working, however, because you have an extra period before .pdf. It needs to be ia801607.us.archive.org/22/items/a11ynyc0223/a11ynyc0223_TRANSCRIPT.pdf
16:25 Indeed. For a fun example, I searched ‘so multivarious and so unique’, in quotes, and the only result was a transcript of this video. Great talk! Very informative. I’m starting to get motivated to learn steno … Who knows.
Add a feature like . A person is giving his speech on the stage.The AI generated audio will play realtime along with the men speech.Mean, you don't need to wait the audio will play exact realtime no delay.
"Favorite typeface". One of those annoying answers, "it depends". For me, reading *online* I like calibri (sans-serif) but when reading a real paper book, I like times new roman or other serif fonts.
Good god, that English fella at the end was really trying to blow smoke up her ass the whole time. Plugging his own stuff, encouraging the use of auto captions (which I receive for work in the BEST case scenario and it still is shit). Idk, Mirabai, you are a true professional. Handled that chode like a champ. Cheers.
38:00 Your dream has become a reality. This is literally what I do for work. I watch an auto stream of AI generated captions and correct mistakes on the fly for the client. I also can pause time, if I get behind. That being said, I am full bore continuing my learning journey into stenography.
Omg this women is lit. I wish i could learn from her! I am like a blindfolded man in a world full of light. But i will not accept defeat, i will learn this for sure . This is my new hobby for now . I wish i had guidance to start but now even if there is none i will complete my journey. ( A 60 wpm to 200+ wpm journey ).
Great comments on braille and an easy solution! Every museum has virtual docent tours in multiple languages. So every public facility should have electronic tours available through user cell phones. The blind could navigate under 5G with GMaps location availability within +/- 3-feet! And why just blind people? You fly into a new airport, where do you go? I've traveled all over the world, and the stress levels in some cities, like Taipei, for example, is unbelievable, even for those with great vision. Let's perfect this!
I feel you. I had brain surgery and 3 strokes. I know how frustrating and physically tiring just to get one sentence out. I'm doing so much better and I am continuing to improve. I hope you do the same. It took me a lot of time and a lot of thinking to send this message.
So helpful! Just started working on accessibility certification completing the CPACC exam this week. Will definitely apply tips here when establishing a workflow for future accessibility projects. Thank you!
