For anyone who may be interested, the live captions in MS teams meetings are NOT visible to a braille display. Or if they are I couldn't find them and I scrolled over the entire screen. However, if you are Deafblind and use teams you can turn on live captions through braille access, and choose "phone name" audio as the source and it will caption the meeting for you. The default for the onboard iPhone Live Captions is the microphone because it assumes you want to hear spoken words in your environment. However once you are in live captions you can hit backspace and it will take you to a context menu for things like pause, copy and then it will say either microphone or phone audio and choose phone audio. It works well however you need to wrangle the hearing people in these meetings because you do not get a name with the spoken content and if everyone is talking at once-- a thing hearing people love doing in meetings for .... reasons I don't understand-- you are going to have trouble figuring out who is saying what. However, if you can get the hearing people to behave in a civilized way, it works well provided you are a fast enough braille reader to read at the rate of spoken language 150 wpm. And now I think I need to go outside and touch grass because ... see above about hearing people talking over one another...

And here we have Callisto trying to convince me that after nine in the evening when it's 40° outside is a great time to throw the ball.

@DarkSheepArts Sadly, I am in the US, but I go to a lot of museums here because many of the larger ones also provide sign language interpretation. Last year I was at the intrepid sea air and space Museum in Manhattan and they had models of many of the things and that was really cool.

@DarkSheepArts I am deafblind and I always love it when museums have braille. Obviously audio is a very little used to me. It is especially cool if they have tactile drawings or models of the things they are showing.

Someone asked me today why I don't ever travel with sighted people when I take vacation and I thought about it and I think it's because sighted people have a tendency to ... get in my way. Meaning ok so if I walk into a room and someone is in the middle of the floor, the sighted person sees the other person on the floor and will reach out and grab me to stop me from stepping on them, rather than allowing me to take about 3 seconds longer to communicate, have my dog tell me and stop i realize that being deafblind means I'm slower, I get information about 2-3 seconds behind sighted people. And it's like they can't help themselves and they have to use those extra seconds to grab/direct/ interrupt me whereas if they just left me alone I would take care of it, just slower. Then many of those same people feel put upon/burdened/annoyed because they seem to take upon themselves the expectation that they're going to have to do stuff for me. Like walk out with my dog when we go for a potty break or walk me to the hotel restaurant or whatever even though I do those things myself and don't usually ask. I would rather go myself. And honestly every time I've travelled with a sighted friend there is always an issue like this along the trip and I just find it easier and less stressful to go with just my dog. Yes I'm going to get lost, i might get myself into some interesting situations. I may not understand whats going on all the time or be confused because... yes deafblind, I'm going to miss stuff. But i am also not anybody's project, or responsibility. I can have a relaxed time with my dog, she will tell me what I need to know. It isn't a race, I don't need to be the fastest, just the safest. So I guess thats why I love meeting folks in different places but I really would prefer to travel there by myself.

At a coffee shop drinking tea and having lox and bagels. I asked Phee to find me a seat and she found one, at someone's table. Then she did it again, I didn't realize the place was so full but eventually she found me a fully empty table! It's always something, right? Dogs don't understand human culture, all the chairs were empty and a chair is a chair. haha!
