From David Goldfield’s Tech-VI announcement list
 
Comcast RSS Feed - Tuesday, June 25, 2024 at 9:30 AM
NBCUniversal Enhances Accessibility For Its Coverage of The Olympic Games Paris 2024
Closed captioning, which provides text of the coverage audio for viewers who are Deaf or hard of hearing, will be available for all Olympic and Paralympic events airing across NBCU’s broadcast and cable networks. NBCUniversal will also provide closed captioning
 for all digital livestreams with commentary across Peacock, NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.
More audio description services – interspersing broadcast audio with skilled voices describing Olympic and Paralympic scenes and context – will be available for viewers who are blind or visually impaired for the Paris Olympics than any previous Games. All
 coverage on NBC, including daytime, primetime, and late night, and the Gold
 Zone whip-around show on Peacock, will feature audio description provided by Descriptive Video Works. In a first for a U.S. broadcaster, audio description services for NBC coverage will be provided in stereo, enhancing the quality of sound for viewers.
For the Paralympic Games, NBC Sports will provide live audio description for all broadcast and cable programming, including those aired outside primetime hours, as well as on all simulstreams. 
Additionally, improved web content accessibility, including keyboard navigation, color contrast and support for screen readers, will be available on NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com, the NBC Sports app.  Livestreams and replays which offer audio description will
 have English audio description as a language choice within the players on these digital platforms. To easily find all events with audio description, click here.
To contact NBCUniversal about issues related to closed captions, please send an email to ccfeedb...@nbcuni.com.  For audio description issues, email adfeedb...@nbcuni.com
“Providing paths for the widest possible audience in the U.S. to enjoy the Olympic and Paralympic Games continues to be a key goal of our Olympics mission, and offering closed captioning on all live coverage with the most audio description ever is another
 important way we are cultivating inclusivity in our production,” said Gary Zenkel, President, NBC Olympics.
All of this audio description and closed captioning will be available to Comcast Xfinity customers who experience the Games on the Xfinity X1 platform, including on the live Olympic Games coverage delivered in 4K, on Xfinity Stream, and on Xfinity Flex.
“For over a decade, Comcast has been committed to making the moments that matter accessible to everyone, and NBCUniversal’s enhanced accessibility features for this year’s Olympic and Paralympic Games are a part of this mission,” said Tom Wlodkowski, Vice
 President of Accessibility at Comcast.

Voice Control is designed for people who have trouble performing the gestures. 
If she has finger dexterity issues or tremmors,  or any condition where 
accurately doing the gestures is a problem, then Voice Control may be an 
option. It adds lots of tedium in using the phone. 

If she can do the gestures, then she should turn off Voice Control. 

A bluetooth keyboard is another option.

RE: ATV youtubetv app

[pdllogan77]

So on my IPhone with the youtubetv app.  If I’m watching a show which has a 
secondary audio track, I am able to go under settings, primary .. and then 
switch to secondary ..  and the secondary audio plays.

 

Doing that same thing on either an Apple TV or a Fire TV, there isn’t the 
option for the secondary audio.  Same program, same channel.

 

Should work the same both places and should be available both places.

 

As I mentioned I’m visually impaired, so the secondary audio has the 
descriptive track if available.  I have also check this out in places where the 
show might have a Spanish track, and there it also doesn’t work.

RE: ATV youtubetv app

[pdllogan77]

Honestly are you even paying any attention.

 

On both the Fire TV and Apple TV .. when a show is playing that on my phone has 
a secondary audio option ..

 

Bringing up the ap settings .. moving over to audio settings .. clicking on 
that brings up the primary choice . entering on that b brings up where you 
should be able to change it to secondary .. primary is the only thing listed 
there .. there isn’t a secondary option .. which should be there ..  This is 
all within the youtubetv app.

 

The secondary audio just isn’t there ..

On the Apple TV and Fire TV there is a setting under the App to turn on after 
the show is showing that has to be turned on for this to happen.  It is 
different from what you have on your phone for an Apple TV or Fire TV.  With 
your TV try pressing the down arrow and see if you have some settings there on 
the Apple TV.

Re: Attention All iPad Voice Over Users: A Call to Action to Restore Amazon Kindle Book Purchasing Accessibility

[Penny Reeder]

I called Amazon's disability support phone line when i tried and was denied permission to purchase a kindle book from the Amazon.com shopping  app on my Iphone, last Saturday. The support person with whom i spoke told me she had reported the problem and it should be resolved the next day. After i made the call, i discovered a work-around, and i didn't follow up further. Here is how i was able to add the book to my kindle library. I asked the A-Lady to buy the kindle book, being sure to name the title and author, accurately. The transaction was completed, and the book arrived in my Kindle library almost instantly. I hope this works for you. But, of course, register your complaint about the shopping app denying permission to purchase a kindle book, as well.

You only get text selection in edit fields or places where you can actually 
select any text.

Have you tried, for example, in the Messages app or Mail app or in Notes? Open 
a new Note and write something, then turn the rotor and I am pretty sure you 
would find text selection.

So what am I doing wrong?  And what is actions in the rotor?

You said you already downloaded them, as long as you know where they are just 
go to the video, start playing it and find the Sghare button, then send it to 
your Dropbox.

As for saving it on a thumb drive directly from an iPhone would require you to 
have one of the USB drives which can plug directly into an iPhone, if you have 
anything below an iPhone 15 this means the drive has to have a Lightning port. 
Such drives usually come with an app and you would save it to the drive the 
same way via the share sheet and then instead of selecting Dropbox, you would 
select the app your thumb drive uses.

advice other than what I had done and to contact Uber.  

I am concerned about having a double charge when I only got the one order.  I 
need to know the correct procedure to follow at this point.  

 

I have in the last wee already had to eat, quite literally, a pizza order 
situation wherein I ended up with a double order because a call center messed 
up and two orders got run when I was left on hold for taking my check card 
number, and a second agent reran the order since we didn’t know the first one 
had been sent.  At least then I had an overabundance that I could enjoy over a 
couple days.

Re: Attention All iPad Voice Over Users: A Call to Action to Restore Amazon Kindle Book Purchasing Accessibility

[VIPhone]

Hello Anna and thank you so much for taking the time to call Amazon.

 

When I called and spoke to Carla, who was an absolute delight, she 
confirmed that Amazon has some errors being reported by non-VoiceOver users 
because of some recent backend changes they’ve recently made.

 

While I know that many VoiceOver users do not use iPads and even those that 
do, probably don’t purchase Kindel content on a regular basis, via iPad, if 
this issue is not resolved, it could filter down to other Amazon web pages 
and that would be terrible.

 

Again, thank you and I hope that more of us will do the same by verifying 
and reporting this problem to Amazon.

 

Mark

Voice Control Question

[blazie.girl]

I have a friend who just purchased a iPhone 15 Pro Max through T Mobile.
She was told that she needed to use Voice Control.  She does have a bit of
usable sight but tends to use Siri and Voice Over mostly.

 

Is it necessary for her to use Voice Control?  What is its purpose?  I think
it is making using an iPhone without a home button a bit more challenging
for her.

 

Just trying to figure things out so I can explain them a bit better to one
of her care givers.

Hi Mark,

I verified the problem and called. The guy I talked to seemed pretty clueless 
and wanted to know if I had checked with Apple about the problem, so I can't 
guarantee he added my info to the ticket, but he said he did, so hopefully he 
knew what he was doing and did it.

Attention All iPad Voice Over Users: A Call to Action to Restore Amazon Kindle Book Purchasing Accessibility

[VIPhone]

Hello All, 

In short, with VoiceOver enabled on iPad, Kindle book purchasing pages are 
no longer accessible in Safari.

Please do the following to increase the likelihood that this issue will be 
resolved ASAP:

1.
Please call 888-283-1678.

2.
Select option 1.

3.
When the Amazon rep answers your call, verify your account with them.  This 
is extremely important.  If the rep does not require you to verify your 
account, before proceeding, the call will not be logged into the Amazon 
support system.

4.
Once your account has been verified, give the rep the following ticket 
number:
V1442232677 and tell them that you are calling to verify that you are 
experiencing the same problem on your iPad.

Depending upon the wait time, this call should take less than 10 minutes of 
your time.  The more calls, the faster the problem will be resolved.

Now, to reproduce the VoiceOver iPad Safari Kindle book purchasing bug, do 
the following:
1.
With Voice Over enabled on your iPad, open Safari and go to Amazon.com

2.
If you have not already done so, sign into your Amazon account from within 
Safari.

3.
In the Amazon search field type in any book title, for example, Shutter 
Island.  Locate the title of the book and activates it’s title to open it’s 
details page which should give you the option of downloading a sample of 
the book, listening to a preview of the title, and provide purchasing 
options, etc.  Make certain that you open the Kindle version of the title 
and not the Audible version.  Assuming that you open the correct page, you 
will discover that virtually none of the content is VoiceOver accessible.

Please be aware that Amazon support has already verified this bug but 
strongly recommends that anyone who can reproduce the bug should call in to 
let them know.

Thank you all for your support on this one.

Mark

FW: [Tech-VI] NBCUniversal Enhances Accessibility For Its Coverage of The Olympic Games Paris 2024

[Richard Turner]

>From David Goldfield’s Tech-VI announcement list

 

Comcast RSS Feed - Tuesday, June 25, 2024 at 9:30 AM


NBCUniversal Enhances Accessibility For Its Coverage of The Olympic Games Paris 
2024


Closed captioning, which provides text of the coverage audio for viewers who 
are Deaf or hard of hearing, will be available for all Olympic and Paralympic 
events airing across NBCU’s broadcast and cable networks. NBCUniversal will 
also provide closed captioning for all digital livestreams with commentary 
across Peacock, NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.

More audio description services – interspersing broadcast audio with skilled 
voices describing Olympic and Paralympic scenes and context – will be available 
for viewers who are blind or visually impaired for the Paris Olympics than any 
previous Games. All coverage on NBC, including daytime, primetime, and late 
night, and the  

 Gold Zone whip-around show on Peacock, will feature audio description provided 
by Descriptive Video Works. In a first for a U.S. broadcaster, audio 
description services for NBC coverage will be provided in stereo, enhancing the 
quality of sound for viewers.

For the Paralympic Games, NBC Sports will provide live audio description for 
all broadcast and cable programming, including those aired outside primetime 
hours, as well as on all simulstreams. 

Additionally, improved web content accessibility, including keyboard 
navigation, color contrast and support for screen readers, will be available on 
NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com, the NBC Sports app.  Livestreams and replays which 
offer audio description will have English audio description as a language 
choice within the players on these digital platforms. To easily find all events 
with audio description, click   
here.

To contact NBCUniversal about issues related to closed captions, please send an 
email to ccfeedb...@nbcuni.com  .  For audio 
description issues, email adfeedb...@nbcuni.com  

“Providing paths for the widest possible audience in the U.S. to enjoy the 
Olympic and Paralympic Games continues to be a key goal of our Olympics 
mission, and offering closed captioning on all live coverage with the most 
audio description ever is another important way we are cultivating inclusivity 
in our production,” said Gary Zenkel, President, NBC Olympics.

All of this audio description and closed captioning will be available to 
Comcast Xfinity customers who experience the Games on the Xfinity X1 platform, 
including on the live Olympic Games coverage delivered in 4K, on Xfinity 
Stream, and on Xfinity Flex.

“For over a decade, Comcast has been committed to making the moments that 
matter accessible to everyone, and NBCUniversal’s enhanced accessibility 
features for this year’s Olympic and Paralympic Games are a part of this 
mission,” said Tom Wlodkowski, Vice President of Accessibility at Comcast.

RE: Be My AI Rocks!

[Sieghard Weitzel]

It can, but as for text recognition, I have so far not found it even close to 
how well Seeing AI works when using the Short Text channel.
And just as a side note, I really miss not having access to it, I am using the 
iOS 18 Developer Beta and while I can use the Seeing AI app with the Document 
channel, light detection and so on, Short Text does nothing at this point and 
also you have to manually tap the Take Picture button in the documents channel, 
it does not take a picture automatically. Similary, it does currently not 
recognize barcodes.
It will be interesting to see if at some point during the Beta cycle this 
starts working again or if it will take an update to Seeing AI.

 Hi all,
 Today I got a reminder of how much I dig the hell out of Be My AI.
 It’s been a while since I’ve used Be My Eyes, and especially its Be My AI 
 feature. I’ve used Be My AI for reading various types of mail and 
 packaging and it works pretty darn well.  For example, I can use it to 
 read an envelope to decide whether the mail goes straight into the trash 
 or is worth scanning its contents , or I can use it to read the full page 
 of the notice that my landlord tapes to my door. For packaging, I can take 
 a picture of a Trader Joe’s product, get nutritional information (is it 
 high in sodium?), and get both stovetop and microwave cooking directions. 
 All of that info can be copied and pasted into a notes app or anywhere 
 else I might choose to do so for future reference. But anyway…  In the San 
 Fernando Valley today it’s sweltering with temps in the upper 90s, so I 
 turned on the central air and needed to check to see what my apartment’s 
 inaccessible thermostat was set to. I grabbed my phone, loaded Be My Eyes 
 and put Be My AI to the test. I went into the hallway, positioned the 
 phone’s camera so that it could see the thermostat and took a picture. Be 
 My responded by saying that it saw the wall with the thermostat, and when 
 I asked what the thermostat was set to, it said that the lighting was too 
 poor, whereupon I flipped the light switch and took another picture. That 
 time, it could clearly see the thermostat, and when I again asked what it 
 was set to, it told me that the temperature was set to 74 according to 
 where the little red needle was pointing. Needless to say I was quite 
 pleased that I didn’t have to get sighted assistance. That may not seem 
 like such a big deal to some, but to me it was HUGE. That is yet another 
 example of how, for me at least, BE My AI ROCKS!
 For comparison purposes, I’ll use the Envision app to do similar things 
 and I’ll let you all know how it goes.
 Take care, y’all.
 Tom
