The entire gang is back together again, and we snuck Jeanine in to the That Real Blind Tech Show Lair. We left some nonsense in at the beginning to give you a peak in to our non-podcast minds, as it cracks us up. We start off discussing Apple suing a Ukrainian filmmaker over his film titled Apple Man. We continue moving forward with the legal part of the show as FlickType's lawsuit versus Apple will be moving forward. We then dive in to UnderscoreGate. Next we dive in too Quick Notes and where the heck is it for VoiceOver users? Can one of us be right and completely wrong at the same time? After that we discuss the soon to arrive universal control and how it is much much different than side car, but hey people are confusing them. You may want to hold off installing the Mac OS 12.3 beta if you are a dropbox or One driver user. iCloud Keychain will be adding a notes component in iOS 15.4. It looks as if sports scores and favorite team news may be coming to Apple News. Action Audio brought the Australian Open to blind tennis fans in a new way, but was it helpful or did it remind you of Atari tennis? Aira has partnered with the NFB, and will help anyone take a Covid test. Aira will also be describing the Super Bowl pre-game show The Puppy Bowl, and the half time festivities on February 13, 2022. Additionally, if you are a football novice or newbie, you can tune in early and get a Football 101 presented to you by Brian and Liz Loza from Yahoo Fantasy Football. Sign up here. Thanks to an email from Rebecca Skipper, we decided to have a PC versus Mac smack down, or smack off. We kick it off discussing our most used apps on our PC or Mac. We then discuss a few of our favorite things that are unique to the PC or Mac. Next we hit upon limitations to an operating system. And we touch on the ease of access getting started as a newbie to an operating system, and how difficult it may be to troubleshoot. We wrap up our PC versus Mac smackdown discussing which OS each of us believes is easier to get up and running with faster as a new screen reader user. And it's more of What's Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading!

Welcome back in the 34th episode of the EBU Access Cast where, as always, we provide you with the news around assistive technology and accessibility. This episode, hosted by Paweł and co-hosted by Tanja, Mario and Hlynur contains big amounts of news from the Big companies out there, impressions of technology we have ourselves tested and a nice demo at the end so tune in and enjoy! You can always review the transcript of the podcast if that form suits you better. For any lovers of movies and TV Series, Paweł has tested Teleparty, a browser extension that allows a group of friends to watch a movie together with everyone keeping their individual audio and subtitle settings intact. We then head of to find out what Microsoft has in store. The announcement of the Surface Adaptive Kit has made rounds all over the Internet. We discuss possible use cases for the blind helped by Tanja who has recently tested one of the Surface laptops. Of course we did not forget that Windows 11 has recently been released. WE start off the discussion on that particular topic by diving into running Android apps on Windows 11 and how accessible and usable that is going to be. Those of us who have had a chance to run windows 11 share their first impressions. But Microsoft doesn't just stop there. They also organize a handful of webinars addressing all that changed in Windows 11 in regards to accessibility. Speaking of events, this year's editions of the NVDACon and Sighttech Global are taking place soon. On a more negative note, Apple has recently made itself a bit of a bad name with the blind community. Firstly, the developer of the Flicktype keyboard has had problems publishing into the App Store then he discovered his app was turned into an Apple Watch feature. Next, a blind developer has had issues updating one of his games. Finally, a rain of headlines fell upon the Internet as many blind users discovered that Siri features such as checking the call log or sending E-mails were gone. These examples show how lack of awareness on accessibility issues appearing in some departments of even the biggest companies, coupled with the politics behind technology can severely affect our access to solutions we use every day. On the Google front, a new version of the Android Accessibility Suite was released with a surprisingly huge jump in the version numbering. Are the changes significant enough to justify such a change? We also congratulate the users in Slovenia and Belgium, as Slovenian and Belgian French join the family of Vocalizer voices on Android. Further down the Google line, Youtube is rolling out a slew of new features that should make audio more accessible. Can you hear that audiodescription coming? Come and find out! We also had a last-minute, surprising news from Mastercard who have announced their brand-new accessible card design. We also discussed the appearance of Susan Bennett, the voice actress behind the original Siri voice, in the latest campaign by UserWay. Can the gap in accessibility be bridged by a single line of code and how does the marketing in the accessibility space look like today? To top the whole show off, Hlynur introduces us to Isak, an Icelandic developer behind Retinaid, a way to revolutionize playing tabletop games by blind people. Feel free to contact Isak to find out how you can get involved in testing and check out the list of currently supported games (PDF). You can get in touch with us by sending an e-mail to ebuaccesscast@euroblind.org or reaching out to us on Twitter at @EbuAccessCast Until the next time!

New Exciting Product from the Vision Store - CareSense N Voice Glucose Monitoring System Handy for both people who are blind or have low vision with diabetes. Please consult medical advise for using this device, and its not expensive (smile). https://shop.visionaustralia.org/shop/product/es7005 Several Follow-up points from the Apple Keynote for September Just a note on the Line Up for iPhones Now Available: iPhone SE 2020, iPhone 11 (no pro), iPhone 12 (no pro), and iPhone 13:, iPhone 13 Mini, and Pro/Pro Max. What I purchased from the Apple Event: iPad Mini as it seemed to be the only device with a major update. All the iOS Stuff Now Available iOS 15, iPad OS 15, TV OS 15, and Watch OS 8 are now available to download. However, I'd hang off updating to iOS 15 for a while as there are some bugs such as the App Switcher not working with VoiceOver. You can still update to iOS 14 without having to go to 15. Also, remember the Apple Watch Series 7 isn't here yet, but you can still update to Watch os 8. Speaking of Apple Watch, if you can make it or mis this Wednesdays webinar on the Apple Watch, go to the David Woodbridge Exploring Tech webinar page to either register or catch up on the webinar: https://shop.visionaustralia.org/webinars Applevis Website You can check out a number of blogs and podcasts on iOS 15 and accessibility bugs on the Applevis website: https://www.applevis.com My Favourite 15 and Watch OS 8 Features FaceTime link to allow users on Windows or Android to use via a weblink to FaceTime. World watch face with 24 country's around the world. Apple TV Releases one of my All Time favourite science fiction Series Foundation is now available as a TV series on Apple TV, and is of course Audio Described. Finding it much easier than the books, but then again, I ddid read them about 4 decades ago, may be time to read again. Apple Refutes Flicktype Developer Claim This is Apple's response to the developer of FlickType that we covered a few weeks ago about it being taken off the App Store. https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/09/15/apple-refutes-flicktype-developers-account-of-app-store-issues?utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_campaign=RSS Microsoft Fall Event with the Announcement of new Hardware About all Surface Pro Hardware. I think what stops me going back to Windows is the underlying issue that sound for screen readers just seems to be so delicate, and can be lost requiring sighted assistance,. However, I've always liked and use the Surface Pro range. https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/22/22684950/microsoft-surface-event-biggest-announcements-pro-8-duo-studio-laptop Certainly Changing my Mind About Android In preparation for an internal workshop on smart phones this week, I updated my notes on Android and iOS, and was surprised by how much Android accessibility has closed in on iOS. Braille still has a way to go, but overall very very good. We used to say, screen readers only iPhone, but now it is both, and screen mag etc is fine on either platform. Vision Australia recommends Samsung overall, and of course, Apple it is the iPhone funny enough.

Compiler Error This week's Compiler Error has a theme: New Autocompletions in Xcode 13 1 - Our favorite optional binding if let will now autocomplete existing optionals as the left-hand side of the binding as you type it. 2 - For loops will detect if you type the singular form of an existing collection type and autocomplete the entire statement for you. 3 - When calling functions, the editor will prioritize variables with similar names to the argument you are autocompleting to make getting through long argument lists easier. 4 - When dot-chaining members of an expression like view.undoManager.canUndo, the editor will now allow you to skip and will automatically insert undoManager for you if you type view.canUndo.

It's a Super Sized gathering of the entire That Real Blind Tech Show team, as Allison, Brian, Ed, and Jeanine get together to discuss all the new Apple products. The gang starts off talking about meeting each other in person for the first time. We then welcome newbies Allison and Jeanine to The All Blind Fantasy Football League and hear about their first weekend experiences. Amazon tried to steal Apple's thunder a few days early as they announced a slew of new TV sets including the Series 4 and new Omni line. On this show because we don't care about all the fancy dance colors of the new iPhone 13, we discuss the new A15 bionic chip, and what the heck it is. A fully loaded iPhone 13 will cost you a pretty penny or penny, or your first born, your choice. Apple finally has upgraded the base amount of storage to 128GB. James Bond would be happy to know that all iPhones will now have Duo SIM capabilities. iOS 15 not 14 will be dropping on September 20th. Will you be installing it on opening day? We are not sure but Brian could be the only person on the planet who is excited for the iPad mini Series 6 finally arriving on Earth. With Apple's Centerstage camera feature coming to the newly announced iPads, now you to can roll around like a monkey and still stay in frame with the people you are speaking with! The Apple Watch Series 7 was announced and we are pretty sure they will be bigger but not in inches in millimeters., The Series 7 will be getting a full on screen keyboard. Which could only mean one thing, another lawsuit against Apple by FlickType. And with the birth of new products, it means the death of others! And of course it's more of What's Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming Watcha Reading.

FlickType Keyboard for iOS being Discontinued Looks like Apple has finally pushed the developers of FlickType (the pattern recognition keyboard) to far this time, and they have decided to discontinue the iOS keyboard. Note you can with VoiceOver still use hand writing, slide to type, and BSI (Braille Screen Input). https://www.applevis.com/forum/ios-ipados/discontinuing-flicktype-keyboard-iphone Paralypics - Do as You Say So again like the Opening, the Closing show was not Audio Described. More concerning was the accident in the Olympic village last week where a VI Athlete got knock over by an electric vehicle used to carry athletes around, yes you guest it, it wasn't making a noise. Saving grace it was only moving at 1-2K, and the person is fine, and the vehicles were taken off the road. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/paralympics/toyota-halts-self-driving-vehicles-use-after-olympic-village-accident-1.6157569 Bursary Applications closing at the end of September 2021. https://www.visionaustralia.org/referral/benefits-and-funding/further-education-bursary Upcoming exploring tech webinar with DAVID WOODBRIDGE on the Apple Watch.

On the show this week we are delighted to be joined by special guest Steven Scott from the RNIB Tech Talk Team.With almost 400 episodes, Tech Talk is a podcast and radio show for blind and partially sighted people who are interested in accessible technology. Steven tells us all there is to know about the RNIB Tech Talk podcast show, favourite interviews, funniest moments, and more.We also find out what has happened to the popular FlickType keyboard app for the iPhone, which was discontinued earlier this month.Support the show (https://www.ncbi.ie/supporting-us/donate-now/)
Double Tap Canada is back with another hour of the latest tech news and tech talk. If the team don't melt in their sweltering studios that is… Maybe they should turn off some of their kit once in awhile. With the announcement that the popular typing app FlickType is to disappear from the App Store shortly, Steven, Shaun and Marc discuss the developer's reasons for the decision. Should we be concerned by Apple's actions? In more positive news, the CNIB announced they are to open SmartLife centres in various locations across Canada. CNIB describes the centres as: “CNIB SmartLife is an interactive retail experience that gives people with disabilities of all ages hands-on access to the latest breakthroughs in assistive technologies, as well as tried-and-true favourites." The ability to get hands-on with technology before deciding whether it's right for you is very important, and it's great to see more locations becoming available. the organization will be opening an additional four SmartLife centres across Canada over the next several months, including locations in Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa and Brampton, Ont. Next up, following a listener's request, Shaun will be showing you how to set up and use Apple Pay on your iPhone. You'll never need to carry cash again… The show wraps up with some great emails from you, including questions about spacial audio and possibly the best example of tech that you can't throw away: Greg's 70-year-old, self-built hi-fi amplifier. Greg, we salute you, sir!

Brian and Ed are back in their socially distanced podcast bunkers of choice where we discuss how in the world a ship could clog up the Suez Canal. It is not a laughing matter, but seriously it is. Facebook is testing a new app called ReEntry, no it is not for astronauts re-entering the atmosphere. Audio Description has arrived on HBOMax on iOS devices. They made the deadline! We discuss the new improved accessibility to the HBOMax iOS app, and how to get Audio Description to play for a title that has it. If you would like to see the current list of all of HBOMax’s Audio Described titles compiled by the ACB’s Audio Description Project click here We are then joined by Para-Olympian Henry McKeller to discuss his training for the upcoming Para-Olympic games. This is an interview you will not want to miss! Did you know that if you have an Amazon account, well then you have a public profile that anyone can see? Well, you do now! We then correct our statement about Aira as you do not need to be an Aira Explorer to take advantage of their 30 minute Covid Help promotion, and you guessed it, we fired the intern who gave us the incorrect information. We discuss follow up from the developer of the app Web Audio News we have been beta testing. If you would like to beta test this news app, please send an email to betatest@newsaudio.com. And it’s the introduction to a new segment, What’s Making Brian Laugh, as you ever get the feeling that you are the only one not suing Apple? We discuss FlickType formally known as Fleksy, the typing app that totally screwed the blindness community suing Apple for fraud. And if you were sitting at your computer waiting for the March 23rd Apple event, you may have been part of Apple going all 1960’s FBI. And of course, it is more of What’s Pissing Off Brian Now, and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading. Articles Discussed In This Episode 1. Ship blocking the Suez Canal could cause havoc for consumers. 2. Facebook is testing out a new app to help prisoners re-entering society. 3. HBO Max rolls out Audio Description. 4. Did you know that you have a public Amazon profile? 5.

The crew is feisty on Fridays but hey it’s Monday, Raqi. From the release of Audio Description on HBO Max to Flicktype bolstering some Apples, we seem to get into a lot about what we want in the Clubhouse arena. What is it with Ringtones anyways?
