Hi! I'm Marco, accessibility veteran and former employee at Mozilla and Freedom Scientific. I'm retired now and enjoy every minute of it. I just moved instances and thought I'd reintroduce myself. I was born in 1973, and live in Hamburg, Germany. German is my primary language, with English a close second. I'm blind from birth. I'm also the owner of two cats, a previous guide dog owner, and able cane user. ;-) Also, I enjoy music, audio books, mostly in the fantasy and science fiction genres. Podcast listening and occasional creation are also things I enjoy. Some sports and swimming, too. I have a life partner, am bisexual, and also diagnosed with autism at the age of 46. So yeah, quite a package here.

Nowadays, I enjoy talking about tech, however I refrain from talking about my former work if possible. I'm totally anchored in the Apple eco system, with devices such as an iPhone, iPad, and one or two Macs in my household. Oh and yeah an Apple Watch, too.

OK, enough for now. If there are questions, feel free to ask.

Hey y'all! I put the iPadOS 26 beta on my iPad Pro M4 and must say while many general things feel quite allright, there are definitely some areas that are very beta with regards to VoiceOver. Control Center doesn't talk at all, the multitasking control at the top of apps isn't accessible, in Files, none of the file or folder names read, and so far, I haven't found a way to activate the much talked about menu bar in Mail, Notes or any other app. So yeah, unlike previous years, the beta feels like a beta indeed from the getgo. Has any other VoiceOver user experimented with the beta on iPad and found ways to accomplish accessing the menu bar?
