Google Meet is missing a key accessibility feature: Text to Speech. Well not anymore with my new Chrome Extension called Zip Speech. It simply turns text to speech in Meet, and says it aloud to the meeting and the user.

Did you know you can run #Companion on other hardware? This $49 Mirabox device is now supported in V4! Best of all, @zipcaptions.app supports Companion! #Streaming #ZipCaptions
This is such an amazing example of how users find new ways to use a tool! I've been using Zip Captions with a throwable microphone!
A warm and friendly classroom scene. A female teacher with dark, curly hair is smiling as she leans over a student's desk to offer guidance. Several other students are seated and writing in the brightly lit room. A large blue text overlay says, "On World Teacher's Day we want to say we appreciate you!" The Zip logo is in the bottom right corner.
To all the teachers lighting up minds and making learning accessible for every student: We see you, and we appreciate you. Happy #WorldTeachersDay! ❤️
Does anyone have any amazing #Media resources for high school? #edu #blueskyedu

Did you see these awesome updates from #ISTELive?
Is anyone else using vibe coding? I've been using it to create Chrome extensions, which is a great place to use it. It's simple code, not many objects and it runs in a sandbox with a clear debugging process! Have you had success?
This was a user request, I'm pleased we found a way to make this possible!
Exactly, and from what I gather they're fairly easy to repair
I've heard great things about the Bambu Labs printers!
Would anyone like a tool which can take a photo of your schedule and then turn it into calendar entries? #edtech

I was excited to be awarded the University of Portsmouth Alumni Impact Award last week, for my work with Zip Captions! #Award #Impact
A set of screenshots of the dialect pages. The text reads "Get more accurate results by choosing your dialect"
Make sure that you have set your dialect to ensure that you are getting the most accurate results for your voice. If you have moved between counties, or you have an accent which is a mix of cultures, you might need to try a few different ones to get the most accurate results that you can!
We rely on our users spreading the word about Zip Captions and the power of captions. So if you have a moment, please share @zipcaptions.app and let the world know about the power of Live Captions!
Written like a true ai!
AI is great until it isn't. With a lack of professional development and mixed results, people are beginning to give up on AI as it doesn't return the desired outcomes. How are you finding #AI?

In my opinion you should run, not walk away from teaching in the UK. Having worked in two education systems, teachers in the UK are underpaid, overworked, taken advantage of, and the curriculum is a hot mess. Then the BBC have the audacity to suggest this: www.bbc.com/news/article... #teaching #uk
Each year on March 3rd, the World Health Organization celebrates #WorldHearingDay. This year's theme is Changing Mindsets to Empower Yourself. Zip Captions allows people to do exactly this, to empower themselves! As a friend recently said, "it's bring your own accessibility".
I have to say while it doesn't have as many features as Première it was very capable, and did a fantastic job at adding captions at the end!
Have you tried @clipchamp.bsky.social ? I'm seriously blown away by how good it is. I highly recommend giving it a go for your next video editing project. #edtech
Press Release: A stack of papers with the zip logo
We've just launched a ton of features, some of them huge improvements to our captioning flow.
You can read our latest press release here: www.zipsolutions.org/pressrelease...
Say hello to a new generation of captioning!
We're thrilled to announce that our Patrons are the first to have access to an additional recognition provider. A paid service, that uses the latest speech recognition technology to provide high quality, reliable captions to people who want them. Read more here: www.patreon.com/posts/122933...
We now support multiple dialects!
Along with today's huge update adding AI based captions, we also added dialect support for everyone! This doesn't matter if you're a Patron, or just a regular user, you can now choose a dialect to help make captioning more accurate. You can find dialects in the settings. #a11y #accessibility
Ooof this shows some incredible AI bias. You'd think that companies like Apple would have done their due diligence here www.theverge.com/news/614004/... @kshelton.bsky.social & @deelanier.bsky.social talked about this in their book (it's an essential read)
