The BT Braille is a powerful, Braille first computer with an eight-dot Braille keyboard with speech and Braille output in 20 cell and 40 cell models. This device can be as simple as being your trusty notetaker but it’s powerful enough for those who want to write their own code and run your own software. It has more features than you can shake a white cane at. To name a few, it has a phone book, appointment calendar, calculator, stopwatch, an email program, two Web browsers, a radio tuner, a YouTube app and more. We can’t wait to tell you more about the BT Braille and answer your questions about it.

Many of us are collectors of the technology programs we hear.

Larry and I fit that hobby as well as saving and storing hundreds of thousands of Old Radio Programs. But, how do you find them quickly to listen or play then on the air. We’ll tell you about our experiences in over 55 years of collecting and play excerpts during the show and of course we’ll take your questions as well.

A groundbreaking leap in assistive technology, Glide combines cutting-edge navigational robotics and AI to provide you with an intuitive and comfortable guided experience. Using real-time data from an array of advanced sensors, Glide autonomously steers the way. It maps the best routes, identifies targets of interest, and avoids obstacles to get you safely to your destination.

Amos Miller Bio: For Amos Miller, Glidance’s Founder, this isn’t simply another product; it’s a dream realized out of decades spent pushing the boundaries of assistive and inclusive technologies. Since losing his sight in his 20s due to a genetic eye condition, Amos has understood first-hand the challenges the visually impaired community faces and has committed his career to breaking down barriers for the sight-loss community. As Chairman of the Board at Guide Dogs for the Blind (UK) and a former product executive at Microsoft Research – where he founded Microsoft’s Soundscape navigation app, which has since helped countless people navigate the world around them – Amos has been recognized as a pioneer in the field. His belief in and dedication to Glide is about more than just a tool for getting from point to point. It’s about empowering the visually impaired community by unlocking a greater sense of freedom, independence, and autonomy in the way we navigate the world.

Users can upload a video or submit a supported video link, such as YouTube, and Athina AD generates both a written and spoken description of what is happening visually in the video.

During the presentation, Shawn will explain what Athina AD is, why audio description matters, how it can help blind users access more video content, and he’ll do a simple live demo of the current system.
