Google Meet is missing a key accessibility feature: Text to Speech. Well not anymore with my new Chrome Extension called Zip Speech. It simply turns text to speech in Meet, and says it aloud to the meeting and the user. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/zip-s... #Accessibiliy #TextToSpeech

Is anyone else using vibe coding? I've been using it to create Chrome extensions, which is a great place to use it. It's simple code, not many objects and it runs in a sandbox with a clear debugging process! Have you had success?
This was a user request, I'm pleased we found a way to make this possible!
Zip Captions@zipcaptions.app · last yr.We've built a Chrome extension which allows you to use zipcaptions with @vmix.com sending your captions into a title component in vMix.

Would anyone like a tool which can take a photo of your schedule and then turn it into calendar entries? #edtech
Make sure that you have set your dialect to ensure that you are getting the most accurate results for your voice. If you have moved between counties, or you have an accent which is a mix of cultures, you might need to try a few different ones to get the most accurate results that you can!
We rely on our users spreading the word about Zip Captions and the power of captions. So if you have a moment, please share @zipcaptions.app and let the world know about the power of Live Captions!
AI is great until it isn't. With a lack of professional development and mixed results, people are beginning to give up on AI as it doesn't return the desired outcomes. How are you finding #AI? www.theregister.com/AMP/2025/03/...

In my opinion you should run, not walk away from teaching in the UK. Having worked in two education systems, teachers in the UK are underpaid, overworked, taken advantage of, and the curriculum is a hot mess. Then the BBC have the audacity to suggest this: www.bbc.com/news/article... #teaching #uk
Would a 1.40pm Friday finish stop teachers quitting?
The number of teachers in England has risen - but so has the number leaving, the latest figures reveal.

Each year on March 3rd, the World Health Organization celebrates #WorldHearingDay. This year's theme is Changing Mindsets to Empower Yourself. Zip Captions allows people to do exactly this, to empower themselves! As a friend recently said, "it's bring your own accessibility".
Have you tried @clipchamp.bsky.social ? I'm seriously blown away by how good it is. I highly recommend giving it a go for your next video editing project. #edtech
We've just launched a ton of features, some of them huge improvements to our captioning flow. You can read our latest press release here: www.zipsolutions.org/pressrelease...
We're thrilled to announce that our Patrons are the first to have access to an additional recognition provider. A paid service, that uses the latest speech recognition technology to provide high quality, reliable captions to people who want them. Read more here: www.patreon.com/posts/122933...
Along with today's huge update adding AI based captions, we also added dialect support for everyone! This doesn't matter if you're a Patron, or just a regular user, you can now choose a dialect to help make captioning more accurate. You can find dialects in the settings. #a11y #accessibility
Ooof this shows some incredible AI bias. You'd think that companies like Apple would have done their due diligence here www.theverge.com/news/614004/... @kshelton.bsky.social & @deelanier.bsky.social talked about this in their book (it's an essential read)
Apple’s cartoony image generator has some bias issues.

Hi! It's been a while since we introduced ourselves and we thought that you'd like to know a little more about the people behind our team! If you like what we're doing, why don't you say hi below and let us know about how you're using Zip Captions. #A11y #Accessibility #UDL #Captions #Education
It's Black History Month as I'm sure everyone is aware, and hopefully you've had the opportunity to reflect on the past injustices, racism and biases towards Black people throughout recent history. But now, as we move forward, how do we prevent that? 1/3
Not going to lie, this is kind of frightening - "parents cannot opt out" - therover.ca/quebec-schoo... they're feeding student data to an AI to detect trends. @kshelton.bsky.social sound familiar? #AI #Bias
Quebec Schools Turn to AI to “Analyze Risks” to Students – The Rover
The Quebec government says it does not require parents’ consent to give students’ personal information to an AI.

So @kshelton.bsky.social do you think you could feed and AI a transcript and ask it to identify your own biases? Is anything capable of this?
