This blog will be completely created with voice only. Due to ongoing tendonitis of the right hand. Also, my dominant hand for designing and mouse operation means that I must rest my hand. I also use the right hand for crafting purposes. Therefore, I must share my tasks carefully between my different occupations, needless to say I also use my right hand for chopping vegetables and doing other daily tasks as an E bike rider. I also tend to use my right hand more for breaking and the thumb palm area can be impacted typing any sort of body of text can I add strain to the ligaments in my hand, connecting to my arm. For now I keep a brace on my right hand and periodically remove it and do hand strengthening exercises. This blog post is an opportunity for me to experience a little bit of what it is like for somebody who experiences a physical disability. Although my tendonitis may be temporary, it is something that frequently comes and goes enough that I need to put into place more permanent prevention measures. I do not want to stop logging or producing digital content. However, I need to find a better way to mitigate my extended use, employ more therapeutic means, and practice prevention. Although the majority of this blog post will have been dictated by voice. I am learning how to also navigate basic computer operation with my left hand to take some of the strain away from my right hand, which will be reserved for necessary editing, and design tasks that are unable to be achieved with my left hand. This will be the end of this blog post next time I will explore working with a video entry in place of text with captions for those with hearing impairments. I will attempt to include as many accessibility features as I can, and will use my own limitations to learn how to be, more accessible to others with different kinds of disabilities. Thank you for taking the time to read or listen to this blog post. There is instructions under the about. Should you want to know how to hear a blog post instead of reading one.
Update Feb 26, 2024 (Since writing this post, both of my hands were diagnosed with tendonitis making it very difficult to use my left hand for support. I needed to use the voice control system more often in the past few months. My hands have since improved and I am back to typing however I am aware this can happen again as it has happened many times before). To learn more about how to use voice command please go to the drop down under the About tab.
