Blind Guy Talks Tech

It is the final (official) show on the Blind Guy Talks Tech feed and the entire gang get together to share their thoughts on the show, and as usual, everything else! A message from Blind Guy Steven Scott: "It's been an absolute blast doing this podcast for the last year and I want to personally thank you for making it the huge success it has been. Without your emails, your contributions and your commitment to the cause this would never have been possible. And all of that proved to me it was possible to do a daily technology show on the radio which is why I was so pleased and honoured when AMI-audio asked us to do this. I love doing this show, a show that started off as an idea that led to me being laughed out of the office and told that such a show concept would never catch on. At RNIB it became the most listened to show and most commented on, and at AMI Double Tap became so popular it spawned a TV show. Now the radio show goes daily, proving the hunger for not just the information, but the entertainment and joy that I hope we bring to you. Shaun Preece has been a monumental part of all of this, and has supported me in all my wacky ideas leading to this point. He, like me, are humbled by your reaction to the show and your willingness to keep coming back for more. Also, I must thank Tim Schwartz for standing by us all these years, Robin Christopherson for continuing to bring positivity and fresh ideas every day, and to Sally Clay who has given us all the shake we required when we needed it to make sure we make this as relevant to as many people as possible. Thanks to all of you, and I hope you will continue to enjoy hearing all of us on our shared journey into a new chapter."

A new product on the market is looking to simplify the way we podcast and it's called the VoCaster series from Focusrite.

It's another big bumper Saturday episode for you to enjoy with the Blind Guy Steven Scott along with Sally Clay and Tim Schwartz discussing the big topics this week - and as usual very few of them are about tech! There's lots of talk about getting fit and a new regime for Steven that is making him feel better, as is the case for Sally. And then there's the thorny but very real issue of disability pride and what it means to be proud of being disabled. It's certainly a topic that has excited many but the trio have their doubts.

We've heard a lot of big announcements over the past few days, and the news that Aira is partnering with other companies to make its visual interpreter service more available has certainly been one of them. One of those partnerships is with ARXVision, a company that has created a wearable headset with camera that tethers to an Android phone (Apple support coming soon) and allows us to use its service as well as Aira in the future hands-free. But what is ARXVision, how does it work, what are the main features and how does it compare to other similar products out there? To answer those questions, Blind Guy Steven Scott talks to Charles Leclercq from ARXVision. What's your view of this type of technology? Let us know by emailing hello@blindguytalkstech.com or call 0204 571 3354 to leave us a voicemail.

There are a lot of product announcements coming out as a result of this year's ACB (American Council of the Blind) and NFB (National Federation of the Blind) conventions this year.

Following a presentation by Humanware on their new product he wrote a lengthy blog detailing the specifications of the new Stellar Trek.

Let us know your comments by emailing hello@blindguytalkstech.com or call 0204 571 3354 and leave us a voicemail.

It's a big week for tech announcements thanks to the conventions going on in the USA run by the American Council of the Blind and the National Federation of the Blind. So far we have heard announcements from Orbit Research telling us a new Slate family will be launching soon of multi-line braille displays. Also a new product is due to be launched from Humanware called the Stellar Trek, a brand new device that we will talk about later in the podcast feed in more depth. But today's main topic and focus is the big news from Vespero, the company behind the JAWS screen reader. Over the weekend they dropped the first ever ARM version of the software for newer laptops coming soon with ARM processors as opposed to Intel processors, similar to the way Apple has moved into M1 as its main processor on board its tech moving away from Intel. But what does JAWS feel like on such an architecture and how does it perform? Listener Aaron from Cumbria got in touch to share his views after testing it out.

In a wide ranging and frank interview, Robin opens up about his life and family who also live with blindness. He talks about his career and life living in far flung places around the world. It's a wonderful chat to enjoy and gave Steven and Shaun a much needed rest, even though they'll likely spend their day listening to this conversation anyway!

When Blind Guy Steven Scott  heads out on holiday in search of biscuits, Blind Girl Sally Clay can't help herself to play with all the audio tech.  Sally talks to Greg and Scott about Apple's Home Kit and what makes it so good. Are we really surprised what happens next?

We know that Mac users love their Macs, and those of us who use the screen reader function called VoiceOver also love our Macs. But even the most hardest of fan folk can admit that it isn't perfect. And that's why we've been having this continuous debate and discussion on the state of the Mac from our points of view and welcoming a wide range of views. There really is no right or wrong in this discussion, but it is good to air our frustrations where they may exist. Listener Zachary got in touch with a lengthy response regarding our previous debates on this topic and this sparks a whole new discussion on today's episode with Blind Guys Steven Scott, Shaun Preece and Robin Christopherson. Keep your comments coming by emailing hello@blindguytalkstech.com or call 0204 571 3354.

Blind Guy Steven Scott and that Other Blind Guy Shaun Preece get together once again to read through more of your wonderful emails and listen to your audio comments and listener Negative Julian decides to turn a new positive leaf! There's comments on the equipment we use to to do the show, following Steven's purchase of the new RodeCaster Pro mixing console for podcasters, and Negative Julian offers us a "free" alternative to the many hardware audio book players out there called Homer Player, only free if you have a spare Android phone lying around you don't need as it is an app that takes over your device. Julian explains more in his in depth review. Keep your comments coming by emailing hello@blindguytalkstech.com or call 0204 571 3354.

IT's another big show where Blind Guys Steven Scott and Shaun Preece get together to actually read through your emails this time.

Keep up the emails and we will continue to read them each day on the show. Email hello@blindguytaslktech.com or call and leave us a voicemail on 0204 571 3354.

With so many emails in the inbox, we thought we'd spend some time going through them and reading out what you lovely people have been sending in. However, as it is Steven and Shaun on the podcast today, you might not be surprised to learn that this didn't go exactly to plan! So enjoy the chat, and a couple of emails! We'll do better next time we promise. Keep your feedback coming and email us on hello@blindguytalkstech.com or call and leave us a voicemail on 0204 571 3354.

For many blind people, the challenge of using a webcam in a meeting means knowing whether or not you are actually in frame, and in a professional setting it is quite important we look our best and don't offer our colleagues a view of up our nose! iPhone users who use the VoiceOver screenreader get extra information via the Camera app that gives audio feedback to let the user know where they are in frame, however most of us use a PC usually to conduct our meetings and we don't get similar feedback from those devices. However, that has all changed now thanks to the development of a new app called Can You See Me. It's been created by blind software developer Ben Mustille-Rose and he talked to Blind Guy Steven Scott on today's podcast to explain how the app came about, and how he created it. Keep your feedback coming by emailing hello@blindguytalkstech.com or call 0204 571 3354 and leave us a voicemail.
