RasPI Assistant: Google Assistant + Dialogflow + Raspberry Pi

Would you like to control the TV using your voice without spend a lot of money? ... Amazing right?. So, in this post, I will teach you how to do that and more. Some of my dreams always have been control things without touch them, for example: the television, due to tired to raise the hand to change the channel. So ... let's create a device that can do this action automatically. What things will we need? First, I should understand the problem and be aware about it. For example: if we want to control a TV that is not smart, how will we do that? ... a possibility is to send infrared signals (IR) to transmit the events that the person's desire. Also, if I want that the device can hear me, I may need a microphone. Additionally, it should have a speaker to talk with the people. Further, I will need a database to save all the information, APIs that can help me with the smart logic and cheap electronic components like a Raspberry Pi , resistors, leds, wires an...

Testing the software accessibility

 Software applications for everyone What is Accessibility? It is all about making applications accessible for ALL people, including those who have disabilities, like visual (color blindness, astigmatism), auditory (hearing loss), motor (cerebral palsy, muscle and joint conditions, spine injuries), cognitive (problem solving, processing, learning), or other impairments. So, our applications should be designed and developed to keep all these folks in mind, as we test to ensure that our solutions are accessible for all our users. Why is Accessibility Testing important? At least, one in five people have some type of impairment, so it's very important to have them in mind when developing software. Recent studies show that +15% of the population has some sort of disability and that 54% of those adults go online, so from a business perspective, it makes sense for us to ensure them the best experience possible when using our applications.  Additionally, this is a human right (legal/ju...
