RNIB Tech Talk

339: Trying Aira in the UK, Chats about Apps, and Accessible Fitness


Listen Later

Hello, friends!

On this week's Tech Talk, Steven and Robin spend a bit more time discussing Aira now being available in the UK, and how it differs from services such as Be My Eyes. We also have a demo from listener Will trying out the service - thanks Will! (Plus, if you would like 60 minutes free upon signup instead of the usual 30, Will has also shared a referral code, so click this link here: https://link.aira.io/ref-v8n65)

Also on the show, RNIB's very own Paulina Kuchorew chats to Linzi Sansum from RNIB’s Older People and Complex Needs Team about 'Chats about Apps' - a podcast series introducing easily accessible technology. Speaking of apps, Andy tells us about a fitness app on iOS, and their focus on audio-led programmes. The developers want to hear from blind and partially sighted fitness fans to help improve their app for those who are often in a neglected group when it comes to working out.

All that, plus: hand held magnifiers, recycled computers, not much love towards dentists, Bose Frames and Soundscape news, unintentionally offending Americans, iPhone 12 rumours (will it really be 5.4 inches and square?), TV Guides, sounding like melting chocolate, and a walk down memory lane.

We've covered plenty of emails in the past few episodes, and the next few will cover even more - to ask us anything, or to comment or question something featured in the show, email [email protected] and you'll certainly be included in an upcoming episode!

Finally, here are the two links Robin mentioned in the episode for the upcoming AbilityNet Webinars! For more information, and to register, click here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/8015958662507/WN_MqX0fomVSMOZQmVKBM7ZQQ

Until we meet again!
