A member of my extended family is working on an Android app designed to provide good audio access to Project Gutenberg. To submit it to the Google Play store, he needs at least 20 testers to use the app regularly for 14 days. Testers can be blind or sighted, and both are wanted so their experiences can be compared. I promised to post about it here because blind users and champions of accessibility seem well-represented on the Fediverse, so please spread it around. If you are interested in volunteering to test the app, which he hopes to have ready for you in about a week, email Frank: ducrestfd@gmail.com Here is a link to the project's github space with a README section: https://github.com/ducrestfd/GutenbergWebAccess

@robinhouston As a binary integer, the lineship has a place in the list of large numbers used in mathematics. It depends on which way you read it, of course, but I would favor the way that interprets its motion as multiplication by four.

@smolwaffle "As a sighted but dyslexic person, when young I had to learn to filter out the irrelevant parts of a visual presentation in order to read. (Later, I discovered that most sighted people take this ability for granted.) Much later, working with blind students and colleagues I observed that the same problem presented itself to users of screen readers when addressing complex tools and web pages. While I have not performed a study to verify this, my anecdotal observation is that the later in life a person has to become acquainted with the use of screen readers - and assistive technology in general - the greater the difficulty, the greater the frustration and the more likely to do without many of the rich resources available. One of those resources is Project Gutenberg, which preserves and offers access to many of the written and spoken works that are not available from other sources, but which people that I know find too time consuming to access using a screen reader. As such, I thought it would be an ideal service project." –Frank Ducrest

@robinhouston Of course, it was bound to be. Perhaps "flatship"! This appears to be unused, and being of one fewer dimension than the name implies is consistent with "spaceship".
