ACB Link is intuitive, easy to use, and fully accessible with VoiceOver, Apple's screen reader built into iOS.
The American Council of the Blind (ACB) was founded in 1961 but many of its state affiliates and local chapters have a history that can be traced back
to the 1880s. Since its inception, ACB and its affiliates have been at the forefront in advocating for programs and policies that have created the opportunities
blind and visually impaired Americans now enjoy. The American Council of the Blind believes in the acceptance of all blind persons irrespective of where
they are in their adjustment to blindness. We value every person for their individual strengths, abilities, and accomplishments, and we look forward to
seeing ACB Link serve as a further vehicle of communication and interaction among all members of the ACB community and among those with questions and concerns
about sight loss.
Comments
Very nicely done!
Very, very nice app! I'm going to particularly enjoy being able to hear ACB Radio right from the app. Very nice!
Now on Mac Too
I just received an email letting people know that this app is now available in the Mac app store, in addition to iOS. The app is still free and very accessible on my M1 MacBook Air. I *might* attend some of the upcoming ACB convention since they will be in my home state. So the email couldn't have come at a better time. Tabbing through the Mac version of this app is a bit wonky, but I'm sure that'll get sorted out as the Mac app gains popularity. But I was able to navigate around just fine using the VO modifier in combination with the arrow keys. I attempted to play a couple audio streams, and they sounded good.
