JAWS pricing confusion? Ring’s new AI feature? Apple’s Siri plans? In this episode, Steven and Shaun dig into the biggest tech debates in accessibility—including a major interview with Vispero addressing JAWS pricing, subscriptions, and screen reader adoption in the workplace. Steven and Shaun return from their short break with a packed episode tackling everything from JAWS pricing drama to the future of smart doorbells and AI agents. A major focus is the workplace screen reader debate: why NVDA isn't widely adopted, and whether JAWS remains the only viable option for employment. Later, they’re joined by Matt Ater and Ryan Jones from Vispero, who clarify misunderstandings around recent price changes, subscription models, and international support. The pair also tease new JAWS features coming this fall, including support for multi-line braille and AI-powered web navigation tools. The episode also explores Ring's new AI video description feature for premium users, promising a step toward smarter accessibility. Plus, the team share a demo of Guide—an AI assistant that can perform actions on inaccessible websites—and react to Apple’s rumored Anthropic-powered Siri upgrade.
