Are smart glasses and AI screen readers the future of accessible tech? Steven Scott and Shaun Preece share real-world frustrations and wins with Windows, macOS, Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, and the rise of AI-powered tools like Copilot and Be My Eyes.In this episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun dive into the day-to-day realities of living and working with modern assistive technology. Steven vents about painfully slow Windows performance using JAWS on a Lenovo laptop, while Shaun offers insights into indexing delays, driver issues, and quirky start menu behaviour. The conversation expands to comparing macOS and Windows accessibility, from VoiceOver struggles in macOS Tahoe to the unpredictability of Windows pop‑ups and AI Copilot integration. The hosts then debate the emerging wave of AI‑powered assistive tech. They discuss the Meta Ray‑Ban smart glasses versus specialist devices like the Ally Solo and upcoming Echo Vision, questioning whether subscription models for niche products can compete with mainstream consumer tech. Real experiences with AI tools—from reading expiry dates to drafting professional emails and even using Copilot in Notepad—highlight both the breakthroughs and the current limitations. The episode closes with a look ahead to Sight Village London, where they plan to test a portable, fully accessible content creation kit, combining iPads, Zoom PodTrak P4, and Apple's VoiceOver for video and audio recording.Relevant LinksBe My Eyes: https://www.bemyeyes.comAira: https://aira.ioSight Village London: https://www.sightandsound.co.uk/events Find Double Tap online: YouTube, Double Tap Website---Follow on:YouTube: https://www.doubletaponair.com/youtubeX (formerly Twitter): https://www.doubletaponair.com/xInstagram: https://www.doubletaponair.com/instagramTikTok: https://www.doubletaponair.com/tiktokThreads: https://www.doubletaponair.com/threadsFacebook: https://www.doubletaponair.com/facebookLinkedIn: https://www.doubletaponair.com/linkedin Subscribe to the Podcast:Apple: https://www.doubletaponair.com/appleSpotify: https://www.doubletaponair.com/spotifyRSS: https://www.doubletaponair.com/podcastiHeadRadio: https://www.doubletaponair.com/iheart About Double TapHosted by the insightful duo, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece, Double Tap is a treasure trove of information for anyone who's blind or partially sighted and has a passion for tech.

October was nonstop. I was in Hershey, Pittsburgh, and New York twice, and on every single trip, there was a transportation curveball. SEPTA canceled trains, Amtrak was late, ride shares were pricey or didn't show, and I even had to cross a four-lane road in Pittsburgh with no traffic light. I still made it to Dancing in the Dark, the PATTAN Tech Adventures event, the Blind Travel Foundation fundraiser, and Laugh for Sight, picking up ideas for our NFB of PA state convention along the way. I talk about why I lean toward Lyft, how arthritis makes travel trickier, and why sponsors need to jump in now. Plus, Ziggy got drenched in the rain and I still recorded from Studio B this week.

“I started with the Blue Yeti microphone, put it between me and the guest, and didn't realize it was picking up everything—even my dog snoring on the couch.” When I recorded this episode, I wanted to share the exact journey I've been on with podcast equipment—from the mistakes I made when I first started to what I use today in my studio. Equipment is one of the biggest questions I see from new and experienced podcasters alike, and it can feel overwhelming. My goal in this episode was to show that you don't need to spend thousands to get great quality. What you do need is the right microphone, a couple of simple accessories, and the right mindset to keep improving step by step.Key Talking PointsWhy condenser microphones like the Blue Yeti are not ideal for podcasts.The importance of switching to a dynamic microphone and using proper mic technique.How a mixer or audio interface like the Zoom PodTrak P4 can transform your sound.Why Descript is my favorite editing tool and how Studio Sound can elevate your podcast.Simple tips for video and soundproofing without spending a fortune.Chapters & Timestamps[00:00] Getting started – My first setup with a Blue Yeti and GarageBand.[06:00] The problem with condenser microphones – Why they pick up too much noise.[10:00] Upgrading to dynamic microphones – Shure SM57, SM7, and the power of pop filters.[15:00] Mixers & interfaces – Why the Zoom PodTrak P4 became my workhorse.[17:00] Editing software – From GarageBand to Descript and the magic of Studio Sound.[21:00] Video, lighting & soundproofing tips – How to get started without overthinking.Send us a textEmail me (niall@sevenmillionbikes.com) or contact me on Seven Million Bikes Podcasts Facebook or Instagram to book your free Podcast Audit!

In this episode of iCantCU, I catch you up on where I've been and dive into some pretty unbelievable questions I was asked by a healthcare professional—like how I get dressed, not what I wear, but literally how I put on clothes. It's troubling when educated people in healthcare still hold such misconceptions about blindness, and it reminded me of battles NFB members continue to face, including parents losing custody simply because they're blind. I also share lighter moments, like Ziggy's obsession with his giant Christmas pickle, a fun crab feast in Baltimore, and my trip to the Hiram G. Andrews Center in Johnstown. With the Pennsylvania state convention right around the corner, things have been hectic, but I'm still squeezing in events in Pittsburgh, New York, and the Lehigh Valley. Plus, I tested out some sunglasses while recording—let me know what you think!

In this episode of Unscripted, Jeff Thompson and Sree Roy dive into the everyday mix of tech talk and personal takes, all in the natural flow of conversation. Sree kicks things off with a trip to the Apple Store, exploring iPhone crossbody straps and even the Beats lanyard trend. The two reflect on the surprise availability of the iPhone 17—thin as air, in stock, and shipping in just two hours. They weigh the pros and cons of the standard model versus the Pro and Max, noting the absence of LiDAR on the base edition. Conversation shifts to tools of their trade: Jeff shares how microphones and room acoustics shape his podcasting workflow, from condenser mics to dynamic setups, and why his SSL 2+ interface is his go-to. Sree brings in his Blue Sparks condenser mic and Zoom PodTrak P4, plus a shout-out to iBugToday.org for its rich assistive tech resources. You can contact us at 612-367-6093. Leave a message, suggestions, and your feedback. Thanks for listening!  

In this episode of iCantCU, I'm finally back after a month and diving into the Ally Solos—new smart glasses from Envision designed specifically for blind and low-vision users. Unlike Ray-Ban or Oakley Metas, these aren't built for social media first. They won't shoot video at launch, but they'll capture photos and focus on accessibility features that actually matter to us. The presale had me tempted, and even though I held off because of past bad experiences with uncomfortable frames from other brands, I may still give them a try with their 30-day return policy. I also share some of the frustrations I've had with my Ray-Ban Metas—like constant notifications interrupting conversations, calls bouncing between devices, and unpredictable dictation. While the glasses can be fantastic when they work (like helping me confirm my Harrisburg train at 30th Street Station), those quirks make me eager to see if the Ally Solos can do better. Beyond tech, I talk about what's been keeping me busy: prepping for the NFB of Pennsylvania State Convention in November, handling a major website migration, attending the Mid-Atlantic Student Seminar, and even dealing with a broken cane. Plus, I fill you in on our upcoming scholarship raffle and ask your thoughts on whether sunglasses during video episodes would throw you off.

Want to get into podcasting but need a little push? Join our 3-day Podcasting event in Peterborough! – Get in touch for details! podcast@disruptivemedia.co.uk Episode Takeaways • Suggested Equipment You Will Need: Samsung Q2U microphone, a recorder like the Zoom PodTrak P4, Batteries, SD Card, 4GB SanDisk, XLR cable if using multiple microphones, Microphone stand and Headphones. For more detail on equipment head to episode ‘PODCAST EQUIPMENT 101: WHAT YOU NEED & WHY' • Think about the positioning of your microphone as this is key to the quality of your sound. • Always wear your headphones at all times, unless you have someone listening to the recording for you. • The ‘gain' of the microphone is essentially its sensitivity; the higher the dial, the more sensitive it is. Check that it is at a comfortable level by listening through your headphones. • It is better to be too quiet than too loud, as if you are too loud, you will distort your recording and it cannot be saved in post-production. BEST MOMENTS “You're going to listen to it, so make sure it sounds good to you” “Listen to the recording and change dials appropriately to make sure we are coming through clearly” “We're trying to avoid peaking or being too loud in the microphone” “If this is your first time plugging everything in, do expect some changes and tech faults” VALUABLE RESOURCES PODCAST EQUIPMENT 101: WHAT YOU NEED & WHY: https://traffic.megaphone.fm/USVL7437414704.mp3?updated=1753924125 Website Want to get into podcasting but need a little push?

In this episode of iCantCU, I talk about the new Oakley Meta smartglasses and why, despite the hype, I'm holding off for now. The camera's not centered like I'd hoped, and they still only shoot vertical video—great if you're all-in on Instagram, not so much for YouTube. The recording time is a win, though: 30 minutes vs. just three on the Ray-Bans. But if the Oakleys don't wrap around like my standard pair (which helps with glare), I'm probably not interested—unless they start shooting horizontal video. I also dive into my trip to New Orleans for the NFB national convention. Let's just say the travel there started with a missing wallet and at the convention, almost everything that could go wrong, did—from tech issues to accessibility frustrations to a basement flood back home. There's also a PSA for allies: if you're helping someone blind or low vision, ask before jumping in. Don't assume. And don't hand my boarding pass to someone else. Finally, we're selling raffle tickets to fund the NFB of PA scholarship program. $5 could win you up to $100—and helps students who need it.

This microphone is very good value for money and can be used in any podcasting set up. • Zoom H4n and the Zoom PodTrak P4 are both good options for a recorder, but consider what input you need before deciding. • There are a lot of other things to consider with a recorder. Keep a close eye on the podcast for an episode Louie is recording on exactly this! • Batteries are important for recording; you will need more than you expect. • SD card options are almost endless, but Louie recommends a relatively high speed and large option, such as the 4GB SanDisk. • If you have multiple people speaking then you need multiple microphones. You will need an XLR cable to be able to plug them all in, you need one XLR cable per microphone. Consider the length of cable you might need. • Microphone stands will vary depending on your type of set up. Its main purpose is to get the microphone away from any surfaces that might vibrate or create unwanted feedback and noise. • Headphones are forward, you can use almost anything you have already, it's about monitoring the recording, so anyone who is being recorded needs to be wearing headphones. BEST MOMENTS “Think about what kind of podcast you are making.” “The worst thing that could happen is you guys run out of battery mid interview and don't realise it and don't have back up” “If you've got something that works, get it out, plug it in, see if it sounds ok. You don't have to go away and spend loads of money if you don't need to, use something if you've got it” VALUABLE RESOURCES Microphone: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samson-SAQ2U-Microphone-Recording-Pack/dp/B001R747SG?th=1 Recorder: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/200806360890025--zoom-podtrak-p4?gad_source=4&gad_campaignid=17601953470&gbraid=0AAAAAD76p-1ub2Ja6py32W1LsdqRLx5bn&gclid=CjwKCAjwv5zEBhBwEiwAOg2YKNRDfzEkrcAWQ7Sw8ARzMOFBF1rtT_FSr9j77LnVeYfe1iUNC1KlKBoCnFIQAvD_BwE SD Card: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Card-Label-Change/dp/B001C0DJL4 Website Want to get into podcasting but need a little push?

In this episode of iCantCU, I'm trying something completely different—an audio-only format recorded while walking laps around my house. I talk about the frustration of unreliable audio description devices at theaters and why it's such a barrier for blind patrons like me. I also share how my recent Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses videos on YouTube outperformed anything I've done before and preview an upcoming video on the new Oakley Meta Smart Glasses. Inspired by other podcasters, I'm hoping this low-tech, low-barrier approach helps me put out more episodes, more often. Let's see how it goes!.

Friendship is not just about having people to hang out with, it's about building a circle that supports, challenges, and uplifts you. It's about choosing quality over quantity, setting boundaries to protect your energy, and being willing to have the tough conversations that lead to growth. Whether you're nurturing lifelong friendships or seeking to form new ones, remember that the most important qualities are honesty, loyalty, and kindness.As you reflect on your own friendships, ask yourself: Are you building a circle, or are you trapped in a cage? The answer could change the course of your life.Available on all Streaming Platforms || Be A Guest Link: https://linktr.ee/issakickbackpodFollow Us!

In this episode of iCantCU, I discuss two major audio description failures—one that's on me, and one that's simply unacceptable. The first happened when I was at the NFB National Center in Baltimore for the IEP Advocacy Academy. I shot a Federation Focus video to show what it's like there, but I totally missed the mark on describing some of the visuals. Thanks to Auphonic's amazing processing, it cleaned up the audio so well that it actually removed sounds people needed to hear—like a ball rolling in a game and doors opening. So, blind folks watching had no idea what was happening for parts of it. My bad. The second fail? A company presented at an OVR meeting and played a video with zero audio description. Just music. No clue what was on the screen. And this was in a room full of people with disabilities—including blind folks. Totally missed the point of accessibility. Plus, I give a quick update on White Canes Connect, which just hit two “best of” podcast lists, and my guest host spot on That Real Blind Tech Show. All the links are below. Let me know what you think—I'd love to hear from you. Show notes at https://www.iCantCU.com/286 Links Mentioned Product links are affiliate links so that I may earn a commission.

In this episode, I recap my trip to Las Vegas for the NFB of Nevada State Convention—part learning, part getaway with Liz. As chair of the upcoming Pennsylvania convention, I wanted to see how other states run theirs. Nevada's was short but packed, and I took notes, especially on their use of breakout tracks and Family Feud. Liz and I also hit In-N-Out Burger twice and even saw Michael Symon at his BBQ spot. Navigating the hotel-casino was tricky, and I share some challenges, especially solo ones. The Meta smart glasses I wore were a game-changer for identifying signs and surroundings. We capped off the trip with a frustrating movie experience—the audio description device failed again. Still, it was great getting away and gathering ideas for our Harrisburg event this fall. If only In-N-Out would come east! Show notes at https://www.iCantCU.com/285 Links Mentioned (product links are affiliate links so that I may earn a commission.)

This nationwide event invites blind and visually impaired individuals to identify birds by sound during a flexible two-hour window within a 24-hour period. No birding experience required—just a love of listening. Martha, a lifelong birder from Massachusetts, was inspired by an article about a blind bird guide and helped launch the event to build community and highlight that birding is, above all, an auditory experience. Natanya, an ambassador for VisionCorps and a self-described "bird-loving beginner," is leading a group walk in Malvern, PA at Brightside Farm, with expert Rick Kaiser guiding participants through the art of bird song recognition.

In episode 284 of iCantCU, I talk about another hiccup with my psoriatic arthritis meds—this time, the pharmacy wanted over two grand out of pocket. Spoiler: I said no. Taltz has helped a bit, but not $2,000-a-month helpful. So now I'm back on the hunt for something else that won't break the bank or mess me up with scary side effects. I also share some sad news: we lost Stan Ingram, a fellow blind entrepreneur in the Business Enterprise Program here in PA. That means one less BEP operator and a big question mark about what happens to his spot. Plus, my friend Ken's dad passed, and I send love to his family. It's been a rough week. I share the fact that my other podcast, White Canes Connect, is currently ranked #19 on the 100 Best Visually Impaired Podcasts! So much for the false rumors being spread about the show. We've got a Keystone Chapter fundraiser coming up on April 29 at Landmark Americana in Philly. Print the flyer and bring your appetite. I'll be there around 1 p.m. for lunch—come say hi.
