329: Microsoft Ability Summit, Accessible TV's and Optacons


Listen Later

Welcome back to Tech Talk, everyone! We're still at home!

On the show this week, Steven waxes lyrical over his massive new TV, and all the accessibility features it has, including audio description and voice guidance... he's very impressed! He can even see who is at his front door on it! This is thanks to the Ring doorbell app, which also has had a few updates.

We natter about the Microsoft Ability Summit, and we hear a snippet from the keynote opening of the event by Chief Accessibility Officer at Microsoft Jenny Lay-Flurrie.

Also, Robin explains his brilliant Bose frames, and the issues that occur when you smack your face into a cupboard... ouch! But they do now support Soundscape, which he's loving.

Also in this week's episode: The Optacon swap gathers pace! Echo dot recommendations, more on Fraggle Rock, Dolphin EasyReader App, Lou Rawls, and alarms for when your mother-in-law is coming round.

What to talk to us? [email protected] is the place to send your emails to the guys. 

Until next week!
