  • Upcoming Events & The Cost of Accessibility
    As Techtember rolls on, Steven and Shaun discuss two upcoming events.
    Amazon events were always known for the sheer amount of new products they unveiled. Just what can we expect to see this year?
    Microsoft may not be quite as fun as an Amazon event, but there’s no denying their hardware expertise. Steven tells us of his experiences using a Surface Pro and why he really wants a Surface Laptop.
    All these plus spiders, gardening, non-sweaty wristbands and, of course, your feedback.

  • The 2023 Apple Event
    Well, what else was today's episode going to be about? Steven and Shaun are joined by Michael Babcock as they discuss their thoughts on Apple's latest offerings.
    Is the excellently named "Double Tap" gesture of the new Series 9 and Ultra 2 Apple Watches enough to make people want to upgrade their current hardware? Likewise, does the convenience of the new USB-C connector on the iPhone 15 family make the iPhone 15 a must-have device? The trio give their answers and dig a little deeper to see what other new features may be lurking in the shadows.

  • All The Things We Said We'd Do Yesterday
    Today on the show, Steven and Shaun make a solemn promise to actually do what they said they would do, but will it happen? First up, good friend of the show Robin Christopherson talks about the accessible YouTube app he has been playing with on Windows to make it easier to navigate the content. Here’s a link to the app: https://ddt.one/en/software/accessible-youtube-downloader-pro
    Also, Michael Babcock is back to share his tips on screen recording with an iPhone, in case you ever want to get in touch with a developer to share the challenges you are having with an app, for example.
    And there’s more of your feedback on the subjects of blind pride and the revival of SoundScape.

  • The Show We Planned, But Never Happened
    Today on the show, Steven and Shaun offer us a treat of two new tasty demos, however in true Double Tap form the whole plan goes out of the window when Steven gets distracted by himself!
    Instead, we focus on an article from journalist Steven Aquino, who is blind, that raises his concerns over the excitement of Apple switching from lightning to USB-C connectors in their upcoming lineup of tech. However, Steven is unsure it’s a strong argument and shares his thoughts. Read the full article here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevena-quino/2023/09/07/switching-the-iphone-from-lightning-to-usb-c-has-bigger-implications-than-convenience/
    Also, Steven has been buying again and this time around it is a new Bluetooth speaker called the Soundlink Flex. It’s a waterproof speaker that can offer up to 12 hours of listening pleasure while connected via Bluetooth. Steven comments on its style and sound, but will it impress Shaun?

    On today's show, Steven and Shaun share some of the highlights from recent interviews and listener app demos.

    We start off with Mike Buckley and Shaun discussing the latest developments in the upcoming Be My AI feature in the incredibly useful Be My Eyes app.

    It's then on to two fantastic app demos from our listeners. WikiTrip gives you lots of details about landmarks around you while Weatherology gives your local weather report a personality.

    It's then back to the interviews with Lucy Begley, from HumanWare, talking to Steven all about the new Victor Reader Stream 3rd Generation.

    Finally, Jason Fayre, from Toronto, stops by to share an update on his experiences with the HIMS SensePlayer device. Is the new firmware giving him new reasons to be excited about the player?

  • Babcock & Preece Take Over
    Michael Babcock takes the hosting chair today while Steven is away, and immediately jumps into tech with a discussion on how to make sure you are always in the frame when it comes to video conferencing on your computer. Shaun talks about his experience with the fantastic Windows app Can You See Me and Michael tells us of a similar app for the Mac called CenteredHead.
    After more talk on everything from Windows vs. Mac and browser problems, it’s on to a listener lesson for Shaun regarding his trouble using a liquid level indicator. Just how do you make the perfect cup of tea or coffee, and will Shaun admit to being a secret finger dipper?
    Listener Ken also emails us about his recent purchase of the Leaden Wireless Bluetooth MP3 polarized sunglasses. With a price tag of only $15.99, just how do they compare to the far more expensive options out there in the audio sunglasses market?
    There’s more listener feedback with a voicemail from Scout giving his opinion on the reasons why people want stand-alone devices such as the Victor Reader Stream 3 and the SensePlayer. But with the prices of these devices creeping close to the cost of smartphones are they pricing themselves out of the market?
    Finally, Wayne emails in to share his experiences with sonar mobility devices such as the UltraCane and Sunu Band.

  • SensePlayer Updates, Older People & Tech and Getting Fit
    Today on the show, Steven opens up about why he started on new medication and the apps and tips he has to get himself fit.
    Also, listener Negative Julian weighs in on the conversation around older people and technology. Is it a redundant argument coming from people who don’t fully understand where most people are coming from when they lose their vision later in life?
    And, Jason Fayre from Toronto stops by to share an update on his experiences with the HIMS SensePlayer device. Is the new firmware giving him new reasons to be excited about the player?
