#148: A Spineless Wet Towel!
<p>In what can only be described as a robust conversation, this week's show has it all! The Blind Guys begin by talking about the weather and then we move smoothly into Jan telling us about this year’s Sight Village, from which he has just returned. The conversation then meanders along the road as the guys talk about the new Focus 46 and also the introduction of JAWS Kiosk as it rolls into Europe; it seems that there are some bumps along the way for this new accessibility feature at airports and other locations. The show tour bus then appears to take a sharp right and heads straight for a wall so thick, not even the US military could break through it. However, the Blind Guys, 2 in particular, manage to drive headfirst through this wall as if it is a knife cutting through butter!</p> <p>On the calmer side of the street, Clodagh has an email from Bence, who has a question about accessible coffee makers and Microwaves etcetera.</p> <p>So, we suggest you buckle up multiple times, if you can, and settle in for what we describe as the Grand Theft Auto of a nice sedate Sunday drive in the countryside: Blind Guys Chat - 8 out of 10 spineless, weak-minded wet towels prefer it to a men's smelly locker room!</p> <p><strong>Links for this show:</strong></p> <p>· Storm Keypad: <a href="https://www.storm-interface.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.storm-interface.com/</a></p> <p>· LinkedIn post from Jan: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/JanLinkedInPost" rel="nofollow">https://tinyurl.com/JanLinkedInPost</a></p> <p>· RNIB website: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/RNIBshop" rel="nofollow">https://tinyurl.com/RNIBshop</a></p> <p>· Light indicator: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/LightIdent" rel="nofollow">https://tinyurl.com/LightIdent</a> </p> <p>· Accessible coffee machine, De'Longhi Magnifica S: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/AccessibleCoffee" rel="nofollow">https://tinyurl.com/AccessibleCoffee</a></p> <p>· Another one that’s voice activated but we haven’t tried it personally: <a href="https://www.lavazza.com/en/coffee-machines/a-modo-mio-voicy" rel="nofollow">https://www.lavazza.com/en/coffee-machines/a-modo-mio-voicy</a></p> <p>· RNIB talking microwave and induction hob: <a href="https://shop.rnib.org.uk/collections/microwaves-and-hobs" rel="nofollow">https://shop.rnib.org.uk/collections/microwaves-and-hobs</a></p> <p>Support Blind Guys Chat by contributing to their tip jar: <a href="https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/blind-guys-chat" rel="payment nofollow">https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/blind-guys-chat</a></p><p><a href="https://pnc.st/s/blind-guys-chat/a3445eef/148-a-spineless-wet-towel-/transcript">Read transcript</a></p><hr>

#147: From Vienna, to PiccyBot, to Kerala.
<p>On this show we are chatting to Martijn van der Spek, the developer of the very popular PiccyBot application. Martijn tells us how he got started creating accessible apps for the blind, and of course all about his latest creation PiccyBot. The BGC fellas have been using this app for a while and love it.</p> <p>Jan is just back from a bitterly cold camping trip, where he has a top tip: wear all your clothes at the same time for a good night's sleep!</p> <p>Clodagh's got an email from Máire from Kerry, asking about audio description for GAA football and hurling, and gets rather excited explaining these Irish games to the non-Irish lads!</p> <p>Finally, a reminder that Óran is hosting the next Audio Description Association (ADA) VI User Group event on Tuesday, May 26, when he will be speaking with Dr Lucía Pintado Gutiérrez from Dublin City University, about the ADESI (Audio Description in Ireland) project. This is a research project and report published in 2025 on “The challenges of audio description in Ireland: Bridging education, users and industry.” All are welcome. Details below:</p> <p>Date: May 26th</p> <p>Time 13:30pm - 14:30pm (GMT)</p> <p>Zoom Link: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/ADAviUserGroup" rel="nofollow">https://tinyurl.com/ADAviUserGroup</a></p> <p>So, stop trying to vote for your favourite song - the Eurovision Song Contest is over!

#146: Vibe Coding
<p>We've got accessibility royalty this week as Glen Gordon joins us to chat all things retirement, AI, and Vispero. Glen's considerable legacy as a developer working for Vispero is not only in the software of JAWS itself, but also in the principles of accessibility, and the continuous improvement of assistive technology. He is continuing to push himself to new levels of development as he digs deep into AI and how it can improve accessibility.</p> <p>In other news, Clodagh has an email from Blind Gordon Anthony who gives us his views on the Oorion and PiccyBot apps. From AI: “Both OOrion (often referred to as Orion) and PiccyBot are specialised AI-powered applications designed to assist individuals who are blind or have low vision by providing detailed descriptions of their surroundings, images, and videos.”</p> <p>So, now that the world snooker championship is over, why not take some time to enjoy the finer things in life - Blind Guys Chat: for the most discerning of listeners. 10 out of 10 Vogue editors prefer it to mannequins with a limb difference!</p> <p><strong>Links for this episode:</strong></p> <p>· OOrion app: <a href="https://www.oorion.fr/en" rel="nofollow">https://www.oorion.fr/en</a></p> <p>· PiccyBot app: <a href="https://www.piccybot.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.piccybot.com/</a></p> <p>Support Blind Guys Chat by contributing to their tip jar: <a href="https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/blind-guys-chat" rel="payment nofollow">https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/blind-guys-chat</a></p><p><a href="https://pnc.st/s/blind-guys-chat/efca0e47/146-vibe-coding/transcript">Read transcript</a></p><hr>
