It's an all new That Real Blind Tech show as Allison, Brian, David, and Jeanine get together to discuss a lot of A.I.   We start off with a few announcements.   Apple is not having a good run of it, as Hackers can now access your devices via AirPlay. Apple released a video urging iPhone users to delete Google Chrome. Will the latest ruling in Apple VS Epic have drastic changes with the App Store?   Will the Department of Justice anti-trust ruling ruin google Search?   Lift has launched Lift Silver for older customers, will it mean an improvement for riders with disabilities?   The new StellerTrek is here for the low low price of $1750.   We then discuss Leasey  and its new sports and games feature.   We then welcome David to the Meta Ray Ban family. Meta has changed the name of MetaView to the Meta A.I. app with a bunch of new features. We discuss the ridiculous new discuss friends feature in the app. We then have some fun with the new digital companion and how it will talk dirty to you.   A new North Carolina bill would require people to share their Identification with social media websites.   Microsoft has made CoPilot Vision available for all Edge users, but does anyone care?   OpenAI has rolled back the latest ChatGPT for being to much of a kiss ass.   Perplexity's new Voice assistant supposedly succeeds where Siri fails.   And it's more of what's Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.   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

Today's episode is packed with breaking news in the world of accessible technology. We kick off with the launch of Leasey 10, the latest update to the powerful JAWS add-on that makes Windows more efficient for screen reader users. Brian Hartgen of Hartgen Consultancy joins us to explain the new features, including ChatGPT integration, AI-powered spell-checking, image generation, and even audio transcription!We also discuss Meta's collaboration with Envision on their latest AR glasses project, Project Aria Gen2. Could these new smart glasses finally revolutionize indoor navigation for blind and low-vision users? We break down the latest developments and what they could mean for the future of AI-driven navigation and accessibility.

Today on the show Steven and Shaun discuss the breaking news that popular website AppleVis has been saved from closure thanks to Be My Eyes.In a statement issued to Double Tap, the company explains their decision to assist in keeping the site for blind Apple users open, and how they intend to help grow the service with the assistance of the blind and low vision community. You can hear the full statement on air read by Laura.Also, Steven questions the desire for more blind people to run major blindness organizations, suggesting that we should focus on the best person for the job and not just employ someone for their blindness. This follows an online petition aimed at Vision Australia who are about to appoint a new CEO from an internal pool of candidates rather than an external selection. Steven suggests we need a larger and more powerful selection of voices who are blind within organisations, not just one blind person at the top.Listener Gregory has sent in a walkthrough using his Seleste smart glasses out and about, showing how they can alert him to obstacles in his path. The full version of his review is available at www.doubletaponair.com but you can hear a small cut of the audio on today's show – which leaves Steven and Shaun reaching for their credit cards!And as always we enjoy more of your feedback, with comments on Leasey and the upcoming Pixel Watch 3.Keep in touch by emailing your thoughts to feedback@doubletaponair.com or call 1-877-s803-4567 and leave us a voicemail.
