Hundreds of injuries from high intensity interval training such as Crossfit and F45 are being reported to ACC each year, with a steep rise in the last four years. HIIT involves a circuit of short bursts of intense exercise, usually cardio and weights, alternating with periods of recovery. But data from ACC shows the number of accidents is increasing each year, with 652 new claims last year alone. Soft tissue injuries are the most common type of incidents, but fractures and dislocations, dental injuries, deafness, concussion and brain injuries, and lacerations, punctures and stings have also been reported. Kathryn speaks to David Woodbridge, the director and principal physiotherapist at Functional Physio, in Mt Eden who has been treating injuries as a result of HIIT and ACC's injury prevention leader James Whitaker.

Buying a new smartphone fills many people with joy and excitement - but for a blind person buying not just a new phone but a new device running on a totally different operating system can be filled with dread and fear! But what is it like to switch to either Android or iPhone as a blind person? Vision Australia's DAVID WOODBRIDGE has made the jump recently with a new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and a new Galaxy Watch 4. But what has his experience been considering he has been an iPhone user for years. Find out today in the podcast with Blind Guy Steven Scott. Have you got an Android phone and want to share your thoughts on David's experience? Let us know by emailing us hello@blindguytalkstech.com or call and leave us a voicemail on 0204 571 3354.

This may come as a surprise to many people but not everyone out there wants a smartphone such as an Apple or Android device. In fact, many people who are blind and older prefer physical buttons on their devices while also needing spoken audio feedback. So what is out there for them? That's where the Blindshell Classic 2 comes in. It's a feature phone meaning it has got some of the many features a smartphone has without the need of a touchscreen to operate it. In the case of the BlindShell, it is operated by a Nokia style keyboard, also called the T9. Read all about the BlindShell Classic 2 here and find out where to buy it in your part of the world On the podcast today, Vision Australia's David Woodbridge joins Blind Guy Steven Scott to talk about the new updated version, and also to find out about that standing desk that David has been tweeting about! If you'd like to comment on our show, please get in touch by emailing hello@blindguytalkstech.com or call and leave us a short voicemail (3 minutes max) on 0204 571 3354.

Voxmate is the first seamless suite of apps for people with sight loss that brings the joy of using technology instead of struggling with the tools. With Voxmate, you can make calls, scan printed text, read news, listen to audiobooks, play games, chat on the Audio Forum and more with just four swipe Gestures: up, down, left and right. The app gives you instant feedback and reads aloud every content or menu item. It has an intuitive, easy-to-remember interface that is repeated in every Voxmate app, so you don't have to create a separate mental model for each feature. Voxmate has some interesting audio-first apps for everyone. So far, there are 20 such apps – each has been carefully designed to deliver important information in natural language while keeping you just a few gestures away from the content that interests you. If you are new to accessibility, you might want to stay in the confines of Voxmate, which can be set as an app launcher so you do not have to worry about finding the icon to launch the app. You can get to the news with a few swipes, and someone can help you find radio stations remotely through a web portal. If you are comfortable with TalkBack and VoiceOver, you can play games, chat on the Audio Forum, and send messages on Telegram through an intuitive audio interface. Voxmate is compatible with many screen readers and can be used alongside TalkBack without having to change any settings. Our updates do not disrupt familiar navigation patterns or create unlabeled buttons. Voxmate is currently only available on smartphones running Android, but the iOS version is expected to be available in mid-2022. How can I get Voxmate? You can download Voxmate on Google Play just like any other app. You can use the app for free for a limited time each week. If you choose to subscribe, you get unlimited access, premium TTS voices, and you can set Voxmate as a launcher. There are monthly and annual subscriptions. What apps are on Voxmate today? All Voxmate apps are divided into 5 categories: Entertainment, Social, Games, Resources and Utilities. Voxmate can be set as the default dialer, so you can easily make and receive calls with the Phone app. In the Entertainment section, you can access news, audiobooks, browse YouTube, listen to music, podcasts, and radio. In the Social category, you can send an instant message to your loved ones via Telegram or record a voice message for other Voxmate users in the Audio Forum. In the Utilities section, you can scan printed text, make a voice recording, and find places nearby that Wikipedia knows about. In the Resources section, you'll find apps that can help and support you. For example, you have full access to Henshaw's Knowledge Village content. There are also several games on Voxmate, such as the popular Sudoku and Blackjack, but also Mathdoku and Quiz. You can also try to find a worthy opponent for a round of the card game Four Colours. The team hopes to develop more apps. So by the time you download Voxmate, this list may have changed. Check out Voxmate's website for the latest update. What happens when I first launch Voxmate? When you first launch the app, you are prompted to go through a setup. This is the only part of the app that relies on visuals due to technical requirements. You will need to either use a screen reader or enlist the help of another person to go through the setup steps. After you sign in with your Google account and complete the setup, a short interactive gesture tutorial begins. The tutorial will give you constant feedback and indicate successful execution. Once you have mastered the four basic swipe gestures, you'll be able to move through the categories of audio-first apps. Voxmate's main navigation metaphor is a rolodex, with cards you can “visit”. Swiping right in any of these categories opens a list of audio-first apps, such as News, Phone, or the game Four Colors. In the Phone app, for example, you can do almost anything you do in the native app – start or end a call, create a new contact or change an existing one, star a contact, or organize your phonebook. Swiping left always takes you back one step. What are people saying? Ash Cross, Sight and Sound Technology: “Great little app. Felt intuitive. Simple. And easy to use. Very user friendly with a nice clean UI”. Warren Carr, Blind Android Users Podcast: “I can't believe it, it's something beyond what words can describe. I can't believe what you guys have done.” David Woodbridge, Vision Australia, on Twitter: “Really really liking the simple navigation of the All In One Voxmate app for the blind for Android, couldn't ask for something much simpler but deliver quite a lot. Really liking the podcast playback options in the Voxmate app, being able to just use flick down or flick up to jump in a podcast is great, especially on some podcasts where hosts just talk and talk and talk and talk.” Presenter Contact Info Email: katja@voxmate.com Website: https://voxmate.com/

Many blind computer users are making the switch from PC to Mac these days, however as the saying goes, the grass may not be always as green on the other side. There are lots of reports of issues with users coming up against what feel like simple yet major challenges that a PC user running JAWS or NVDA would not come up against. Basic tasks like downloading an app from the App Store on a Mac can be quite difficult and what is it with brand new powerful Macs using M1 processors that still say 'busy busy' when using them? To discuss this on the podcast today we have David Woodbridge from Australia, a prominent voice in the blind community who stands up for Macs and Scott (also known as Kayaker), a computer expert who has worked with both systems for many years and although wants to prefer the Mac is now not recommending it to other blind people. In this honest and open discussion we get into some of the challenges and perhaps for most users one of the most obvious answers to this. Listen in and find out. Join the conversation with us by emailing hello@blindguytalkstech.com or call and leave us a voicemail on 0204 571 3354.

Allison and Brian present another in our Trendsetters series  as they welcome Sir David Woodbridge in to the That Real Blind Tech show virtual studio. For those of you who follow assistive technology, David Woodbridge needs no introduction, so we have a little fun with our intro.   We find out was David a techie before he went blind, and what his first introduction to screen readers were. We discuss our different approaches to inaccessible design.   Being a Mac guy does David ever find himself running back to Windows to perform any tasks? Even though David is a Mac guy, he has had some early exposure to the Windows beta 11 preview, and he gives us a little sneak peak to it.   We then discuss David's role at Vision Australia, and how he landed there. Along with David's first experience with an iPhone.   We go through David's office tech gadgets aka The Boys Play Room, and find out if David ever wants to go back to working out of an office.   We delve in to podcast studio mishaps, because it happens.   We find out what David enjoys about enlightening someone who is new to blindness.   Would you believe that David likes to pull people's leg? You will after you hear his stories of house and car hunting! The conversation then turns to a cure for blindness, do we need it, no, would we take one, heck yes.   We then find out what David likes most about getting to test out new technologies, and the frustration about new products arriving later in Australia then they do in the United States and other parts of the world.    David's podcast ISee Using Various Technologies From A Blind Person's Perspective just past the one million download mark. We ask David how he got in to podcasting, what the early days were like, and what he hopes people take away from his podcast.    We finish with getting Watcha streaming Watcha Reading David Woodbridge version.   You can keep up with David by listening to his podcasts and following him on Twitter at @dwoodbridge.         To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.

Steven, Shaun and Marc are back with special guest David Woodbridge for another episode of Double Tap Canada. We kick off this week's dive into tech with the news that Marc has ordered a pair of the new Beats earbuds from Apple. However, the reviews haven't been particularly glowing, so will he regret buying them? Next, it's on to Windows. Microsoft have officially announced that October 14th, 2025, will be the day that support for Windows 10 will end. This means no more feature or security updates will be pushed out and, basically, is telling people it's time to update. Which bring us nicely onto Windows 11. Of course, we don't know what the next version of Windows will be called yet, but we do know it's coming soon. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella talked about it at the recent Build event, and this week a leaked version of it appeared online. Just what can we expect from the next version of Windows, and is anyone even excited? Next, podcaster and general tech guru Dave Woodbridge tells us about his new favourite bit of kit. It's the PodTrak P4 from Zoom. This portable mixer/recorder/audio interface impressed him so much he bought two. So, what exactly is it about the P4 that has people excited? David tells all. Following an email from listener Greg, Shaun demos the "Immersive Reader Mode" built into the Edge browser for Windows. This feature will strip away the clutter from an article such as links, adverts, etc., making far easier to read using a screen reader. It can also read the entire article to you using the amazing Microsoft TTS voices. Finally, we hear from gamers Steve Saylor and Courtney Craven about the current E3 event and just what is happening in terms of accessible gaming. All this and more such as Greg's wife's description of what the DTC team look like and what will Jeff Bezos be eating in space… only on Double Tap Canada!

My Next Webinar - Exploring Technology Webinar Series with David Woodbridge - in the Kitchen   Myself and Alex will be looking at low and high tech gadgets plus some tips for cooking and organising in the kitchen.   Registration link is:   https://visionaustralia.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_foBkS8xGQEanaKCuHsYbZg   A Bit Of A Play Around With Talkback On My Samsung S10 - Including Voice Control   I must say using Talkback now on the Samsung S10 at least in my case is quite enjoyable, and easy to use.   Basic gestures are similar to VoiceOver on iOS: eg flick left or right, then 1 finger double tap.   I do like the angled gestures that Talkback still has and which aren’t that really hard to remember: Flick up and Left, Home Flick down and right, back Flick up and right, global menu Flick down and right, Talkback settings   In this new version of Talkback, we are now able to control Talkback and basic system commands with our voice. The gesture is: Flick right and up, Voice Control. After the gesture you can say: Home, takes you back to the Home Screen, Back, takes you back a screen, Recent, for recent apps All apps, takes you to the all apps screen, Notifications, takes you to the notifications centre Assistant, launch’s the Google Assistant. Faster, speaks faster Slower, speaks slower   The fact that you can completely customise all the gestures of Talkback is fantastic, especially if say you want to mirror some commands from now the non existent Voice Assistant screen reader.   VIP Code Reader For Android   I mentioned this on Talking Tech quite a while ago now, which uses the sonar feature (similar to Seeing AI Product Reader) for detecting QR codes, just tried it on Android with my S10 and it works just as well.   https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvip   Lookout for Android - Similar App In Function to Seeing AI App for iOS   Functions include: Explore, object recognition Food labels, bar code? Text mode, short OCR text Document, full OCR Currency, identify Australian  bank notes?   Play Store link:   https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.accessibility.reveal   Look out doesn’t support Australian bank notes (nor does Seeing AI for iOS), I suggest using CashReader for both Android and iOS.   Android:   https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martindoudera.cashreader   iOS:   https://apps.apple.com/au/app/cash-reader-bill-identifier/id1344802905   Amazon Echo Show 10 3rd Generation Now Available   Didn’t know this was coming out, may have been just arriving in Australia, but its an Echo Show with a camera as well plus all the other new stuff.   https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B084NTF5ZY   If You Are Low Vision, How To Tell if Caps Lock Is On Or Off On Windows Or Mac   I’ve been getting this question a few times lately, especially with more and more folks buying external large print keyboards, and not being able to see the indicator lights on the keyboard to the state of the Caps Lock key: i.e. if you are about to just keep typing in all capitals. I was quite surprised to see it is an accessibility setting in Windows, but not on the Mac, on the Mac you need a 3rd party app.   Windows:   Part of the Ease Of Access Centre in Windows 10, check out the following link on how to set this:   https://www.howtogeek.com/252226/how-to-make-windows-play-a-sound-when-you-press-caps-lock-num-lock-or-scroll-lock/   Mac:   Download this utility which will give both visual and audio notifications if Caps Lock is on (Capsys)   https://apps.apple.com/au/app/capsy/id1093804328?mt=12   AirPods Max Firmware Update   Recently Apple released a firmware update for the AirPods Max (C39) which fixed the battery drain issue when the AirPods Max are in the smart case (or as I call it Smart Pouch). This update is automatic, but if you want to check, you can go in on your iOS device: Settings, General, About, and check out the AirPods Max current firmware, as I understand, when you are using the AirPods Max, the system will try and update.   https://www.mactrast.com/2021/03/airpods-mac-3c39-firmware-said-to-fix-smart-case-battery-drain-issues/   Free Audio Books you Can Play on Google Smart Speakers: BookReader   Of course, you can also use the Google Assistant on your smart phone or tablet to do this as well.   The website the App/skill BookReader is based upon is at:   https://App.speakhub.io   All the public domain books are from:   https://www.librivox.org   The command to invoke the app/skill is:   :Talk to book reader”,  And then say the name of the book.   Here are some suggestions to get your imagination going with these public domain style books, some amazing classics to enjoy again.   Andersen’s Fairy Tales Grimms’ Fairy Tales English Fairy Tales Myths And Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome Anne Of Green Gables Black Beauty Cindderella Treasure Island Story of the 3 Little Pigs The Happy Prince And Other Tales Frog Prince And Other Stories Heidi Jungle Book Snow White and the 7 Dwards The Little Match Girl Wonderful Wizard Of Oz Peter Pan Wind In The Willows Voyages Of Doctor Do Little 20 thousand Leagues Under The Sea Call Of The Wild Journey To The Centre oOf the Earth Around The World in 80 Days Sea Wolf Hound of the Baskavilles Study in Scarlet Sign Of The 4, Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Tarzan of The Apes Princess Of Mars Wood Beyond The World The Well At The Worlds End Dracula Frankenstine Gulliver’s Travels Mobidick Time Machine Secret Garden Legend Of Sleepy Hollow 39 Steps 3 Ghost Stories Dragons Secret Thing From The Lake 12 Creepy Tales Invisible Man War Of The Worlds Hamlet Cosmic Computer Origin Of Species The Headless Horseman A Silent Witness Magic Skin Star Born
