TyfloPodcast
A podcast platform about technology and accessibility for blind and partially sighted people. I am its founder and editor-in-chief.
Hi, my name is
Michał Dziwisz
Digital accessibility, media and software
I create accessible media, apps and tools that are meant to be practical and genuinely useful.
Some of the things I make
-
-
Radio DHT
An internet radio station and its main channel. I am a co-creator of the channel format.
-
UTILITIA 2.0
A tool for auditing digital accessibility. It analyses websites and documents against standards (WCAG, PDF/UA). Beta version.
-
SARA
Simple Accessible Radio Automation, an accessible radio automation system. Open-source software written in Python.
-
TyfloCentrum
TyfloPodcast clients for three platforms: Windows, Android and iOS. The interface is designed for accessibility and screen readers (NVDA, TalkBack, VoiceOver).
-
Czyściciel
A Windows app that automatically removes filler sounds like “um” and “uh” from speech recordings and shortens overly long pauses. It detects them locally, on the user’s own computer, with the classla/wav2vecbert2-filledPause AI model (nothing is sent to the cloud). It sounds natural, is fully accessible to screen readers, and can export a ready-made Reaper project.
-
Bookamp & Bookbar
DSP plugins for listening to audiobooks, podcasts and spoken-word recordings: Bookamp for Winamp, Bookbar for foobar2000. They smoothly change tempo without changing pitch, pitch without changing tempo, and a „tape” mode that moves both at once. They have two time-stretch engines, optional loudness leveling and speech intelligibility enhancement, plus keyboard shortcuts. The interface is bilingual and fully accessible to screen readers. Subject-matter consultation: Patryk Faliszewski.
A few words about me
My name is Michał Dziwisz. For years, I've been creating media, apps and tools that make everyday use of technology easier. As someone who is blind, digital accessibility matters to me personally; it is not just an area I work in, but something that affects real life. I try to make things that are useful, understandable and accessible to as many people as possible.
