About Me
Hi. I'm Kara – a disabled trans woman from the UK. I am blind and have cerebral palsy. Neither my disabilities or transness define me as a person; they are just something I am
My Pronouns are she/her.
I use a screen reader when doing any computing, specifically NVDA on Windows 10 and VoiceOver on iOS. I prefer to use text-to-speech output rather than a Braille display. I mention this because when I'm reading an article, I usually don't take notice of formatting conventions. I either would have to turn on automatic announcing of formatting changes, which would be tedious to listen to, or use a command to get that info on demand. So I might use regular text when it should be in bold, italicised or whatever. I will try to correct it when I am aware of it though.
My interests include music (both listening and producing), computers, movies, history, languages (although I'm only fluent in English), , books and TV.
Usually I tend to make small edits to articles but intend to get more involved
I would also like to assist in any way I can to make Wikipedia an even more accessible site for screen reader users to both read and edit.

The Copyeditor's Barnstar |
| For all the unthanked work you’ve done over the years. Its common for copyeditors to rack up thousands of edits in one "niche" using automated tools, but you've helped in a lot of ways from adding shortdescs to working on categories to reformatting. Thank you. Mach61 (talk) 05:22, 11 December 2023 (UTC) |
