An area of #ableism I'm encountering could use some community perspectives. Some well-intended folks became concerned at incohrent posts from me, along with weird spellings and context. The immediate bias was this was a result of decline in my formerly from disability.

That medical condistions do factor into this seeming decline in literacy do factor in, they are not the cause. What is? Google voice input and a 2017 era keyboard MPB Apple refused to replace. What is working? A refurbished HP on windows I bought for 350. I need better tools.

I suffer crippling arthritis and aggressie Dupuytren's Contracture, bilateral, which cause great fatigue to typing. Pressured, accented speech is not accomodated well by Google. How can I find good tools for poor people to address my needs? All insight, bring it! #inclusion FTW!

Have you thought about using Dragon Naturally Speaking? I started using it a few years ago due to a degenerative disc in my neck and it’s been great. Unfortunately the Mac version is awful so I’ve had to do much of my work on a PC.

I have and to be honest the learning curve is too high for me right now to include when I have so precious few spoons. This expecially expands to dictate. What's more they are singular platform and I have to be able to use multi platforms. Thank you so much Mark for your input 😊
