AT Banter Podcast Episode 464 - From First Keystrokes to Everyday Tech: Accessibyte with Joe Jorgensen
This week Rob, Steve, and Lis welcome Joe Jorgensen of Accessibyte after a slight 'technical' issue that results in the first take not being recorded (at least take two gave us “humidititties”). Joe shares how his work teaching assistive technology inspired building a company that develops tools designed around real users’ needs, from Typio and Braillio to the Teacher Dashboard and Accessibyte Studio. The conversation explores building confidence one small win at a time, creating a smoother path from learning technology to using it for everyday tasks, and how AI might shape the future of accessible tools. Along the way we have plenty of laughs, a little hockey talk, and a reminder that the best tech starts by listening to the people who use it.Show Transcript https://atbanter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/podcast-episode-464-accessibyte.pdf

AT Banter Podcast Episode 463 - Libby Thaw and The Checkered Eye Project
After a summer break, AT Banter is back—and Rob Mineault and Steve Barclay kick things off with cruise talk, comeback-show jitters, and a lively conversation with Libby Thaw, creator of the Checkered Eye symbol. Libby shares her journey with Stargardt’s disease and explains why she created a simple way for people with low vision to let others know they may need a little understanding. They explore what the symbol means, how it can complement (but not replace) a white cane for traffic safety, and why public awareness of vision as a spectrum matters. They also chat about the project’s long road to recognition, the challenges of getting media attention, and how listeners can help spread the word.Show Transcript https://atbanter.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/podcast-episode-463.pdf
