  • Great resource for everything blind life

    I lost my eye sight a few years back. I discovered Sam’s YouTube channel shortly after.

    His channel, and this podcast, are a huge help for anything related to blind life.

    Thank you, Sam for all you do.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Master NVDA with NVDA Coach: Free Screen Reader Training Add-On Ep. 53
Q: Why build this instead of using a traditional user manual or training bundle?
Because many in the community either lack the patience or skill to navigate a manual, and a lesson-by-lesson approach provides immediate, guided feedback, making learning more approachable and effective for a broad range of users, including older adults who may struggle with manuals.
Master NVDA with NVDA Coach: Free Screen Reader Training Add-On Ep. 53
Q: Tell us about NVDA Coach and what it does.
NVDA Coach is an add-on that, when tethered to NVDA, opens a sandbox training environment with six chapters and 41 lessons across topics like keyboard use, text navigation, browse mode, web navigation, and object navigation. It includes an instructor mode and a certificate upon completion, with a focus on making NVDA training accessible and practical.
Birding by Ear: All About Blind Birding And The Annual Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon! Ep 50
Q: What would you say to someone who wants to start, maybe with an event or tools that can help them get started?
Start with accessible apps like Merlin Bird ID for identification and Larkwire for learning bird sounds; join the Birdathon through Birdability to get hands-on participation and support, whether you're at home or in your neighborhood.
Birding by Ear: All About Blind Birding And The Annual Blind Birder Bird-a-Thon! Ep 50
Q: So, tell us a little bit at first what is birding? If somebody has no idea what that even means, can you kind of give an overall explanation?
Birding is essentially paying attention to birds and being aware of them; it evolved from bird watching, but true birders often hear more birds than they see, especially in leafy seasons, and it's a hobby that can be very accessible with the right tools and approaches.
Ep. 46 Splice Bio And The Future Of Vision Loss Treatment | Gene Therapy For Stargardt Disease
Q: What is the best way they can learn more?
Interested individuals can fill out an online form on our website or email our clinical trials team for more information about participating in studies.
