Double Tap

Today on the show, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece discuss the latest advancements in wearable technology for the blind people, focusing in particular on a new product from French company Kapsys.

In the news today they also discuss the GA Conf Awards, which recognizes efforts in game accessibility, and they talk about Blazie’s new integration of ChatGPT for JAWS users, exploring the implications and potential of these technologies.

Our App of the Week this time around comes from Brian Counter, who demonstrates the Talking Tuner app for iOS that helps people tune their guitars accessibly and independently.

Plus there’s more listener feedback on AI-generated audio descriptions for audiobooks, and personal experiences navigating social interactions with disabilities.
