Hey folks, another interview this time. Joseph Lee is my guest, he's quite famous for his contributions, primarily in NVDA add-on development. I have to say this interview is a bit lengthy, just because I want to talk with him about everything I had in mind and that is screen readers, education, what is the future of accessibility, and way more.
In this podcast episode you will find out his story and how he started with programming in general, as well as how he began contributing to NVDA project.
Some of the other topics you will hear discussed are
What is a screen reader and the basics how it works?
The future of screen readers
How accessible is programming to the blind and visually impaired individuals
How hard is to develop add-ons for NVDA
his and mine experiences in higher education
Why it is important to learn how to advocate for accessibility
How to solve accessibility problems with software and hardware
The importance of reporting issues to developers regarding accessibility
Joseph Lee favorite apps, movies and so on
It is impossible to list everything we talked about, but trust me there is plenty in this interview, before I interviewed him, I set the goal to bring his experience and knowledge to this podcast so we are able to learn what he has to say regarding many questions I asked him about accessibility.
At the very endif the podcast I left an interesting audio clip that shows how did the 1st synthesizer known as VODER sounded like, it was released by Homer Dudley in 1937, That said, I bet that there is plenty information that you will find interesting...
So, get comfy and enjoy the podcast.
