(Yes, I let AI write all this stuff - cjd)

We dive into the world of assistive technologies, AI-generated transcripts, and the quirks of Bluetooth systems. Today's discussion zeroes in on the upcoming digital accessibility deadlines, the challenges of compliance, and the importance of starting somewhere, even when the task seems daunting. We also explore the exciting potential of Bluetooth Low Energy audio systems and how they can revolutionize assistive listening in educational environments.

Finally, we discuss the peculiarities of AI transcription services. Are they ready for prime time? Spoiler alert: not quite yet.
