In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I use 4K Video Downloader for YouTube videos. For anything online that I can't download, I typically record via Zoom and do some minor editing before uploading it to our captioning provider. I have access to the admin side of Kaltura so I can download videos there (Kaltura management console). Before I had access to download content directly from Kaltura I sometimes had to get faculty to either make me a co-editor of the video or have them set the video to be downloadable (not always easy or fast). My Zoom recording process: * Start a Zoom meeting with muted microphone and video off * Share my screen (typically to a browser window) and set the screen share to optimize for video sharing and sharing computer audio * Record the meeting * Play the video * When the video is done, end the recording and end the meeting. This way I can still use my computer as long as I'm careful not to disturb the meeting. I can also mute my computer audio so I don't have to listen to whatever I'm recording. I also use this process to record podcast audio for podcasts that need transcripts.

POAP = Proof Of Attendance Protocol, and is based on the ERC-1155 ETH standard for sending out mass NFT?s at a low cost. Definitely leaning towards the Rabby wallet [youtube link] at the moment for holding NFT?s.

I'm trying to find information on an error that seems to be cropping up more and more. It is that a PDF has a "missing MCID" or a "duplicate MCID". If you've encountered this error, can you tell me: 1. What accessibility checker you were using. 2. What was the "authoring" tool that created the PDF? 3. Does it show up on untagged PDF that is then tagged? 4. Are the PDFs that it shows up in single PDFs or a PDF created by combining PdFs? Any help you can provide to assist in tracking down this error message will help find a solution. If you have a solution, let me know. From what I've read the only solution is to retag the document. If you have any samples that can be shared, that would be helpful too. So far, I haven't been able to see this error.

We are working with the Salesforce team and their accessibility people. We continue to have two issues that are worrisome. - an error exposed by the WAVE tool - Broken ARIA menu. This error presents in the WAVE tool but not with a screen reader. Stub code is included by Salesforce for potential future use with the top level menu so that additional menu items can overflow into a dropdown menu. The unnecessary 'menu' placeholder is in the Salesforce-generated code without any menu items, which breaks the ARIA rules. The Marketing and Communications team's assessment is that all WAVE errors should be removed. This error isn't identified by the screen reader because the parent element is hidden but a future update could expose the error. "Upon further review, the ARIA menu issue is accessible and working as designed. Page navigation is using the standard out-of-box Jepson theme navigation header. I have attached a screen recording demonstrating the accessibility of page navigation using the JAWS 2023 screen reader." - Salesforce - An alert exposed by the WAVE tool - No heading structure. The alert presents in the WAVE tool but not with a screen reader. The H1 tag is on the 'My Cases' heading. A div six levels up from this H1 heading has tabindex="-1" which indicates that this div should be skipped, thereby signaling to WAVE/screen readers that the div that contains the H1 should be skipped.

WAVE does report errors in hidden content which is often not actually an issue. Presumably, the system would not expose the hidden content without first populating it with the missing child elements. Also, a `tabindex=-1` attribute on a div does not cause the content to be skipped. It allows the element to be programmatically focused.

Here is a little more information in case others have suggestions. Salesforce Issues: Lightning Web Component 20230417 Broken ARIA Menu - WAVE error The Salesforce heading component is able to accommodate many menu elements in the top heading. When there are too many elements to display, it will create a 'More' entry and a drop down menu of the additional entries. Partial code to support this dynamic behavior is always generated and it includes the menu element for that future drop down menu; the menu element does not contain any menu items which raises the error 'Broken ARIA menu': there is a menu started but it doesn't have any items in it. Current heading navigation in the portal: WAVE error revealed with Styles turned off Salesforce resolution to the case opened about this error: Upon further review, the ARIA menu issue is accessible and working as designed.

I have attached a screen recording demonstrating the accessibility of page navigation using the JAWS 2023 screen reader." - Darrell Hilliker, Feb 1 2023 No Heading Structure Alert - WAVE Alert The Support page has an H1 tag on the 'My Cases' text heading. Salesforce generates the HTML such that the My Cases H1 is nested within a DIV element that has an attribute 'tabindex="-1" which tells screen readers to skip the content. The development team was not able to find a way to eliminate this -1 tab index but did not consult with Salesforce as yet.

I have used this and can vouch how wonderful this is and how well it works. Remote Incident Manager is now cross platform. Here's the Blurb: Mac Users: Rejoice! Never before has there been a remote access screen reader module for Mac OS. Never before has there been an all-round, fully accessible remote support package for Mac OS... Until now. That's right. Today, our critically acclaimed Remote Incident Manager makes its public Mac OS debut! Mac development for the RIM platform has been coming along nicely, and it is now at the point where we are ready to invite the general public to help move it forward. As of today, lack of accessible remote assistance due to platform differences is now a thing of the past. With RIM, anyone can provide or receive remote support to or from anyone, regardless of platform! And our famous remote accessibility module will allow technicians to provide support to any Mac or Windows computer whether a screen reader is running or not.

My name is Aaron Di Blasi. In addition to being the volunteer Publisher for Top Tech Tidbits and Access Information News I am also a computer engineer and database specialist by trade with almost 30 years of experience in working with all forms of text and language manipulation algorithms, including LLMs, or Large Language Models like ChatGPT. I?ve written about some of the recent developments in LLMS on the Mind Vault website at: https://mvsltd.com/news/. The question you are asking is a complex one, but I will share with you a simple opinion. In my experience, knowing everything that I know about text manipulation algorithms, all the way up to and through the neural networks and LLMS of today, there is no scientifically quantifiable way to say, with absolute certainty, whether or not a particular written piece was written entirely by AI, or whether it was used to assist in writing said particular piece. No one wants to say this out loud. Because people want to sell software. LLMs function based on the statistical probability of words being used in combination, and have been trained on millions if not billions of texts or more. No one human pattern of writing is so unique that it does not follow these same statistical probabilities. Therefore, these programs may list their own thresholds for verified ?cheating,? but they?re only guessing. There was a piece recently done on this on NBC Nightly News at: https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/video/some-u-s-schools-banning-ai-technology-while-others-embrace-it-162747973876 (which mentions TurnItIn directly) in which they tested the program. They found that it flagged one student as ?100% AI? that had written the essay right there in front of them. So no matter what else these programs say, or how often they ?might? be right, I don?t, personally, think that student futures should be left to this kind of low probability modeling. I also understand this is not a choice that everyone can make. Which is why is think this information is so important to consider. Hope this helps.
