Specialist vs Mainstream Tech: Is The Debate Still Relevant In 2022?

More and more of us are using smartphones to achieve our daily tasks but there are many specialist tech devices still used everyday by blind people either as an alternative to or in addition to the smart devices.

But are devices such as daisy players and notetakers still needed today? And what about braille – can technology such as braille displays  ever make their way into the mainstream?

Blind Guy Steven Scott and that other Blind Guy Shaun Preece chat to Stephen Campbell from RNIB’s Technology for Life team to discuss.

Plus, there’s big news as Blind Guy Talks Tech begins a new 7-day week starting today. Every weekday there will be a fresh episode with a double helping of The Weekend Edition coming to your podcast feed.

About the Author
I am an absolute geek who loves technology. I also happen to be severely sight impaired and that has meant my journey with new technology has been challenging. What I've learnt is what I want to share with others and I do that on my weekly radio show and podcast for AMI-audio called Double Tap Canada, as well as my weekly role on Double Tap TV for AMI-tv. I'm also a very lucky husband and the owner of the world's coolest dog!
