In this version of The Tech Doctor podcast, Robert talks with the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic Allison Mervis of California.
Allison and Robert begin with a discussion of mainstream versus specialized access technology. Allison suspects that we are starting to see a marriage between the two. Robert discusses his idea that it is ideal for specialized braille note taking equipment to also operate as braille displays for iOS devices. He particularly likes the BrailleSense OnHand from Hims Inc. You can learn more about the BrailleSense at
the Hims website
Allison and Robert next discuss Allison’s experience with an Android tablet that she purchased with the hope of making it accessible with one of the Android screen readers. You can learn more about Android accessibility at
the Android accessibility website
Another excellent Android resource is a podcast produced by the Serotalk Podcast Network called
