doctorambient<p>This is annoying: I got a new phone and many of the apps that I used to use to study Ancient Egyptian are no longer available.</p><p>Sadly, this is not really an OS problem so much as there was just one person who was writing most of this code, and they appear to have just stopped updating. ☹️</p><p>Back to the limitations of flashcards, etc. (Not dissing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ankidroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ankidroid</span></a> or anything, it's just I like the other tools a lot.)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/studytools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>studytools</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/middleegyptian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>middleegyptian</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>android</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/androidos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>androidos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/studyapps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>studyapps</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/languagestudy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>languagestudy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hieroglyphs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hieroglyphs</span></a></p>
Lanie Molinar Carmelo<p><strong>Really wishing there was a good textbook reading app for someone with both visual and cognitive <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/disabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disabilities</span></a>.</strong><br><br>I just started a new course at Colorado Christian University, and this week's reading is <strong>7 chapters</strong> from a book called <em>Introducing Christian Doctrine</em>—which is pretty heavy stuff. I've been struggling just to get through the first chapter.</p><p>I tried reading in <strong>Word with JAWS</strong>, but quick navigation keys keep getting disabled, and adding comments isn’t very accessible. So I switched to the <strong>ePub version in Bookworm</strong>, which lets me add bookmarks, named bookmarks, and comments. That’s been a huge help.</p><p>For notes, I’m using <strong>Joplin</strong>, which works well for organizing thoughts in Markdown. And when I hit a sentence I don’t understand—like <em>“propounded dogmatically”</em> (what even is that?)—I just open <strong>Copilot</strong> in the browser and ask for a plain-language explanation.</p><p>It’s not perfect, but it’s working. I just wish there were tools designed with both <strong>cognitive load</strong> and <strong>screen reader accessibility</strong> in mind. Reading theology is hard enough without fighting the tech too.</p><p><em>(My degree is in computer science, but theology is part of the core curriculum.)</em></p><p><a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/multipleDisabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>multipleDisabilities</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/JAWS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JAWS</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/ScreenReader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScreenReader</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/CognitiveDisability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CognitiveDisability</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blind</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/Neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodivergent</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/NeurodivergentBlind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NeurodivergentBlind</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/BookwormReader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BookwormReader</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/JoplinNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JoplinNotes</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/Joplin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Joplin</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/Markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Markdown</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/TheologyStudent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheologyStudent</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Christian</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/ChristianUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristianUniversity</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/InclusiveTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InclusiveTech</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/EdTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EdTech</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/AccessibleReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AccessibleReading</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/DisabilityInEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityInEducation</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/StudyTools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StudyTools</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/ePub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ePub</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/AssistiveTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AssistiveTechnology</span></a> <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/MastodonEdu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastodonEdu</span></a><br><br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/mastoblind" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>mastoblind</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://rblind.com/c/main" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>main</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/neurodivergentblind" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>neurodivergentblind</span></a></span></p>
ArchetypalOther<p>So I was thinking of putting up a <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/study" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>study</span></a> whiteboard on the website (what website??) to go along with the books, just for myself to throw things on and to share my class notes. Apparently it's already a thing.
