Hi @hulu_support, The audio described version of Alien Earth is presented with subpar mono audio, while the standard English track is at minimum stereo 2.0. You are delivering a substandard experience. @netflix, @AppleTV & others have already figured this out. Follow their lead

Attention @hulu @hulu_support, #AudioDescription for Handmaid's Tale s6 e8 was not included at the time of release. You wouldn't disrespect the millions who use cc this way. Handle your business. It's not difficult. #blind #LowVision

Good news: This cutie delivered my breakfast today. The bad: Interacting with the @CocoRobotics delivery bot via @UberEats is not #accessible with #voiceover on #iOS. The fix should be very easy for the devs. I'm here to help if anyone on the team is reading this. #a11y #blind

2024 has been a rollercoaster. Didn't like how the ride started, but the current loop-de-loop has deposited me in Los Angeles, where I've taken on the role of Vp, Accessibility & Employment, with @BrailleInst. I'm amped up to execute transformative initiatives centering blindness

Question for anyone using braille screen input in iOS 18. When I'm in a text message, the three finger swipe up gesture is not activating the send button. Did this change? Is it currently broken? All I'm getting is the bonk of doom. #braille #iOS #BSI #voiceover #a11y

Pay attention to this case. This is one of many examples of how #disability + race connects with police brutality.

Uber & Lyft frequently deny service to blind people with guide dogs. Help advocate for our civil rights by joining the National Federation of the Blind’s Rideshare Rally in San Francisco on Oct 15, 10 am to 3 pm, outside @Uber & @Lyft headquarters. #RightToRide @NFB_voice 1/3

Hi @ADPwebmaster, Terrifier 2 was described on @PrimeVideo. I watched it a couple years ago, and it was also identified on your site as a described title. However, the AD track has disappeared from Prime. Can you please raise this with Amazon? I will also email them directly

And another one. See for Me. This film has an audio description track produced by @AudioEyesAD. And the main character in this film is #blind. I'll just leave that here without further comment

@TransitRidersEB 2. The board of directors that is eliminating train service to Antioch is meeting this Friday. Call in to support keeping service so that people in the Bay and Central Valley can get to downtown Antioch & 100,000+ people in Antioch can keep train service.
