Tyler Stephen

I'm Tyler Stephen, from the US state of Maine. I have a life-long passion for technology, and in addition to writing here, I am also on the editorial team of AppleVis.com. I've been totally blind from birth and thus rely on screenreading software like VoiceOver on Apple products and NVDA on Windows. I have been a Mac user since 2005 and an iOS user since 2010, in addition to also having used Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS. On this site and elsewhere, I hope to write pieces that educate and entertain people, as well as bring attention to the accessibility or inaccessibility of various technologies. You can find me on mastodon at mastodon.applevis.com/@tyler.
