Patrick Burton from Benvision on Building Accessible Apps That Last


Listen Later

Steven and Shaun dive further into Apple’s WWDC announcements, including updates to the Vision Pro, new accessibility tools, and the ongoing debate around gaming on Macs. They also respond to listener feedback on the accessibility of label printers and smart AI tools.

Hable is doing a one-time promo just for Double Tap listeners. Hable is offering Double Tap listeners an exclusive 15% off the Hable One and Hable Easy — two powerful tools designed to make smartphones more accessible. Visit www.doubletaponair.com/hable.

In the second half, Steven interviews Patrick Burton, co-founder of Benvision. Patrick shares the story behind his innovative navigation app that uses spatial audio to guide blind users in indoor environments. He also discusses Speakaboo, a simplified AI-based visual recognition app designed for instant feedback, and VidiScribe, a tool for automatic video audio description. Patrick offers a candid look at the challenges of developing accessible apps in a crowded, underfunded tech space.
