In this episode of Double Tap hosts Steven Scott and Shaun Preece discuss the BT Speak Pro from Blazie Technologies, a modern version of the Braille and Speak device.
David Goldfield, head of marketing at the company joins the discussion and provides insights into the history of the company and the development of the BT Speak Pro.
David describes the compact design of the device, featuring an 8-dot Braille keyboard, speakers, ports for HDMI, USB-C, and microSD, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
David also demonstrates the device's speech output and navigation through menus.
The hosts express excitement about the nostalgia and modern features of the BT Speak Pro, and David hints at the possibility of a QWERTY version in the future.
There's also discussion of the news that Microsoft is delaying 'indefinitely' the launch of a major new feature of its latest CoPilot+ PCs called Recall. The feature allows users to search for anything on their computer with a simple text search but following privacy concerns around the data stored on your device the planned feature has been dropped. The new PCs start shipping from June 18th.
