Dear AccessWorld Readers,
Its March, and we have an excellent lineup of reviews for you this month.
First, Jamie Pauls brings a review of Brian Hartgen's Brave Words course, a training course for the Brave web browser. If you are unfamiliar with Brave, it is a new web browser that has an extreme focus on security, making it popular with many.
We have reviewed them individually before, but for this issue Janet Ingber compares the most accessible fitness apps available on iOS: Aaptiv, Revision Fitness, and Apple Fitness+.
In an effort to bring braille access to more people, the National Library Service (NLS) has launched an e-reader program which provides a refreshable braille display for users so that NLS braille books can be read electronically. In this issue, Deborah Kendrick reviews the two models of display available from the NLS.
Finally, Judy Dixon brings us an article on NaviLense, an app that uses specialized QR-style codes that are much easier to recognize by a phone's camera and can be recognized from much further away. If you've ever struggled to focus a traditional QR code before like I have, this is an amazing technology that looks like it will have a lot of promise.
In the near future, we have some new changes coming to AccessWorld; we will have more concrete details for you soon, but we wanted to go ahead and make you, the readers, aware that some changes will be on the horizon.
Sincerely,
Aaron Preece
AccessWorld Editor and Chief
