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.

We introduce this podcast by playing a sample of the Echo II speech synthesizer which Larry's word processor used to speak the text that was on the Apple's screen. Larry went on to write a very popular terminal program for the Apple II. ProTerm enabled us to access such popular online services as GEnie, CompuServe and hundreds of BBS systems. Larry went on to write a very popular screen reader for DOS called ASAP. At present, Larry is the Director of Technology Product Research at the American Printing House for the Blind He and his team, along with several other companies, are developing the first inexpensive refreshable Braille reading and note taking device.

This Tech Doctor Podcast is all about the new 4th generation Apple TV Robert and Allison spent the hour with David Woodbridge. At the time of this podcast, David has published 13 excellent podcasts teaching us to use the new Apple TV with VoiceOver. He says that he plans to publish at least 20 podcasts on the Apple TV. We discuss the new hardware, describe how to set it up and talk about how this device differs from the third generation Apple TV. We agree that the new Siri remote and the ability to install apps from the Apple TV app store are the big changes available in this 4th generation Apple TV. The three of us conclude, that once again, Apple has taken the lead on providing the most accessible set-top box that is currently available. We are really enjoying this new Apple TV. Sit back and let us tell you all about it.

In this Tech Doctor podcast, Robert Carter and David Woodbridge enthusiastically describe how they are already making extensive use of Apple Watch in their daily lives. They are amazed by and thrilled with the stability and maturity of VoiceOver access in this first version of the Apple Watch. Anyone who knows how to use VoiceOver on the iPhone can quickly transfer those skills to using VoiceOver on the Apple Watch. While this podcast is a good general discussion of what the Apple Watch can do, Robert and David encourage everyone to listen to the more than thirty podcasts that David has produced demonstrating how to utilize all aspects of the watch with VoiceOver. These excellent Apple Watch podcasts are available both At The Applevis Website and on David's personal podcast page. Even in this version 1, we have found only miner bugs which can easily be worked around until they are fixed. This makes us comfortable recommending Apple Watch to anyone who is interested in enjoying this new and exciting wearable technology. David and Robert encourage everyone to go to an Apple store and investigate the watch for yourself. We hope that you like it as much as we do. Regardless of whether or not the Apple Watch appeals to you personally, we can all agree that Apple is to be commended for creating the first fully accessible smart watch. Unfortunately, Allison Hartley was unavailable to record with us. She will be discussing her Apple Watch experience on a future podcast.

Robert And Allison spend this hour podcasting with David Woodbridge, Senior Adaptive Technology Specialist at Vision Australia. Most of us know David from his excellent Podcast where he provides concise but thorough demonstrations of how to use our Apple products with VoiceOver. In this podcast, however, we learn that accessible Apple devices have become an integral part of David's family life. He uses apps like Find My Friends and Find My iPhone to keep track of family and to locate those lost Apple devices that have hidden under the bed. David uses the accessible parental controls to ensure that his children are accessing appropriate entertainment. Apple's new Family Sharing system enable David to share apps and entertainment with all family members. Finally, the fact that Apple operating systems can be independently installed and updated by a blind person means that David can provide his family with excellent tech support. While Apple software does have bugs (as does all software) David prefers to report the bugs, find workarounds and he continues to enjoy the power and flexibility of accessible Apple hardware and software everyday. Apple accessibility continues to change the lives of blind people throughout the world. Isn't that really what Apple accessibility is all about?

In this Tech Doctor podcast, Allison and Robert share their excitement about all that was announced at the 2013 WWDC keynote event. Robert And Allison discuss some of the new features that will be available in OSX Mavericks when it is released this fall. They describe the new hardware that was announced. This includes a refresh of the MacBook Air laptops, new airport extreme and a totally redesigned Mac Pro. Finally, they turn their attention to what will be coming in iOS 7. This is a redesign of iOS that is both different and familiar at the same time. The keynote can be streamed or downloaded as a podcast directly from Apple's Web Site Robert would like to give a special thanks to David Woodbridge who published the notes that he took while watching the keynote at 3:00 A.M. in Australia. The notes were a big help when organizing and preparing this podcast. Be sure to keep up with David by reading his Blog.

Imagine a world where a totally blind person has access to over 1.8 million books and magazines. Imagining and hoping is exactly what Allison Hartley has done for the last several years. Until a few days before recording this podcast, much of the Amazon Kindle content was inaccessible. The limited content that was accessible was frustrating and to work with and marginally accessible at best. In this podcast, you will hear Allison and Robert's surprise and delight when they discovered that on May 1st, Amazon quietly rolled out an update that makes the iOS Kindle app fully VoiceOver compatible. Allison and Robert discuss the very polished and highly functional UI. Allison demonstrates how she can read and navigate MacWorld magazine. They explain several ways of purchasing kindle content either from an iOS device or a computer. Fortunately, purchasing is easy and fully accessible. Robert and Allison discuss the reaction of some of the leaders in the blindness community to the release of this app. Robert and Allison express their disappointment with the tone of the NFB Press Release concerning the app. We feel that now is the time for celebrating progress rather than making demands. That said, the NFB Technology Center published a comprehensive review on the NFB Technology Blog Allison and Robert feel that giving the app only a “c” grade overall was too low, we recommend the reading of this review to learn a lot about this app. At the time of this podcast, the most complete and informative demonstration of the app has been published by David Woodbridge and is available as an Applevis Podcast. Finally, Robert and Allison are delighted by the coverage that the app becoming accessible is receiving in the mainstream press. Allison and Robert are thrilled to have been guests on The Unofficial Apple Weblog Sunday evening Talkcast. We discussed the topic of Accessibility in general and the accessibility of the Kindle app specifically. We encourage every iOS user to download this free Kindle app and join the celebration. Happy Reading you all.
