Welcome to the home of the Blind Accessibility Testers Society. The society was formed from a number of conversations between various blind people working in the accessibility industry wanting to know better ways to use the tools of our trade. Quickly, we realized that blind people in other roles like software development also wanted a place to share ideas, tools, and tips on how to work as a blind professional.
At the 2016 CSUN conference on disability and technology, Birkir Gunnarsson and Lucy Greco presented a talk called Strike of the Bats to introduce others to the idea and gauge interest in membership, and so it began.
On this site, we hope to create a rich library of tutorials and tips for how to use technical tools and workarounds for visual interfaces.
