The Accessibility Icon Collection - The Noun Project Blog
25 public domain icons about accessibility, including icons for accessibility testing, inclusive design, neurodiversity, screen reader, and transcription.
ARC Toolkit - Page-Level Testing - TPGi
Free accessibility testing tool for websites. It would be interesting to test this with published elearning as well.
Disabled And Here: free stock images (with attribution)
Free stock images of people with disabilities, emphasizing people of color. While AI images are already usable for many purposes, I find that images of people with disabilities are still hard to generate. Images of actual disabled people are still useful. These are mostly photos, plus a few illustrations.
Accurate AI Transcriptions in Minutes | Powered by Riverside
Free transcriptions and SRT closed captions of audio and video files. My quick test from a Zoom recording looked pretty accurate (maybe more accurate than Zoom's built-in transcription).
Accessible color palette builder
While there are lots of tools for creating color palettes, this is the first one I have seen that so clearly notes the accessibility of different combinations. Even if you create the palette using another tool, you could check it with this free tool to note which colors have sufficient contrast when used together.
Video Caption Generator - Automatic Captions - VEED.IO
Automatically generate captions for videos for free
Web Captioner
Free real-time captions in a browser based tool. I haven't tried this yet, but I'd like to see if it's possible to use with Zoom for live training.
SpeEdChange: Refusing Free, Depriving Students
Why do schools refuse to use free and open source software options, even when those options would improve accessibility for students? Ignorance? Fear? Politics? Probably some combination of all three.
If an electrician was too afraid of electricity to touch a wire, he'd be an electrician no more. So if an educator is afraid of the information and communication technologies of his/her age, then he/she can no longer be an "educator" in any meaningful way.
