September 02, 2020 Episode 60: Larry Skutchan from the American Printing House for the Blind talks new Braille displays, Nearby Explorer online, an updated Studio Recorder and more
Kia ora Mosen at Largers.
Recently, it was a pleasure to sit down virtually with the legend that is Larry Skutchan to talk about all that APH has been working on lately. The Mantis, their new Braille display with a qwerty keyboard is creating quite a buzz, and we'll be discussing it in-depth.
We'll also talk Studio Recorder, Nearby Explorer Online, learning to code and learning to type, crossword puzzles and more.
This was one of the last interviews recorded with Larry in an APH capacity, as he retired from the organisation on 31 August. I'm sure you will join me in thanking Larry for his incredible contribution to the lives of blind people throughout the world. We hope to hear him regularly as a Mosen At Large contributor.
