I don’t know how Brisbane did that. when they did Worfie time, it distracted Fremantle a bit. Very tired, and Allyx Pierce was doing a really good job on Logan Morris, there was no one on him after that. Fremantle didn't take their chances in front of goal either. #AFL

I had to laugh at some comments on one of these articles talking about AI glasses such as the Meta smart glasses. A lot of Australian councils are banning them from certain places, but giving exceptions to blind people such as myself, who use them to help us out in public. I don't want to be filmed constantly. seems to be a constant refrain here, and for those in the back, I'm going to say it again, the glasses are not constantly making a fucking video feed! Not every single person who h...

@JonathanMosen@caneandable.social I’m really curious to know, and you’re the first person I can think of to ask this question, can blind people use 3D printers accessibly?

Fantastic victory, Collingwood! We are now pretty much locked in to a wild card game. #AFL

I have just released Chronicle 1.0.3. This release adds Chronicle's first dedicated preset for comics, manga, and graphic novels, and tightens cleanup for dense magazine-style PDFs. New `Comics / Manga / Graphic Novels` preset for panel-based visual storytelling. - Better accessible reading output for speech balloons, thought balloons, captions, visible sound effects, textless panels, and page-level art descriptions. - Conservative support for manga reading flow, including right-to-left...

Does anyone know how to submit an app to applevis? Do you just do it through the forum? I want to show off this little program that I've created. Should I write the entry in HTML code? I'm thinking it might be nice structurally.

Chronicle v1.8.0 is officially live! 🚀 i have introduced automated update scripts for macOS and Windows, making dependency management and updates completely hands-off. Built natively for #Accessibility with VoiceOver, NVDA, and JAWS, ensuring complex historical archives and multi-column formats are perfectly structured for screen readers. Check the repo for the full update and new installation guides: https://github.com/harry6116/Chronicle #a11y #Python #RustLang #Archiving

What I'm basically doing with Chronicle is not a glorified optical character recognition engine with a bit of AI thrown in, what I'm basically trying to build and I know this will sound so I'm very sorry, I'm trying to build the nearest thing to a human eye looking at a page. I know that sounds really strange when you read it. I'm rigourously testing to make sure that this thing can actually make documents readable, not just pick up the text and dump it th...

Anyone remember the old Audio game for Windows called grizzly gulch? I used to find this very addictive when I was a kid especially in the casino, I wanted to play it again but it would not launch on Windows 11. This was still the case until I brought Codex in. Codex made three crucial changes: First, we changed the packaging. Instead of using the original installers, which were hostile to Windows 11, we created a clean portable folder from the actual game files. Second, we changed the versio...

@JonathanMosen you know you’ve seriously got me addicted to this lemonade stand game on the emulator now. I didn’t think I would but I did about 30 days worth and made about 30 bucks. What I can't remember how to actually save the game so you're not having to start again.

@JonathanMosen thanks to AI I’ve even built my own computer program. It basically takes a really broken OCR scan and cleans it up, it uses people’s API keys to Connect to things like Google Gemini. I made it because I wanted to read my great grandfather's unit war diaries from the first world war and standard OCR just wouldn't do anything with them. Then I wanted to read old newspapers and everything else so it's just taken off into this big thing. I've called a C...

Goddamn the Audio is great quality from inside the Orion spacecraft talking to NBC on the ground. The astronauts from the 70s must be blown away.

I want to make a Gmail account for the Chronicle software I’m making. I’m assuming this could be done? It doesn’t really have a last name or anything like that but I think I have to make a Google account for it which is silly to me.

Well everybody, I now at long last present my program chronicle on GitHub with proper Windows and Mac app downloads which you will find in the assets section. A couple of things. Google Gemini is still the best at the moment for dealing with really difficult documents. Claude will only work if you have paid for access to the API. GPT is strictly a fallback option because it's the weakest of all of them. Think of this program as a really clever tool that can fix documents that standard OC...

Throughout the war in Iran, I have been recording an international anti-Iran regime station and an army station from Israel. I can't understand what any of them are saying but I feel like I need to record it because I love to capture as much Audio history of what’s going on as I possibly can. Listening to Hebrew, it sounds like a really difficult language because there are so many different sounds when they're pronouncing words but you just don’t get in English. It kind of remind...

I had a couple of people asking where the donation links were on the page for Chronicle so I've updated the files to make it a bit more prevalent. I really hope some people are testing this program, using it, finding any difficulties or indeed loving it. You will find this program shines for old newspapers and legal documents and a whole bunch of other things. Please take a look. Tell everyone about it. https://github.com/harry6116/Chronicle #Accessibility #chronicle #AI #A1Y #Blind #doc...
