We had a fabulous time at Sight Village this week in Birmingham. Wonderful to meet so many of the Double Tap family. Think we managed to convince a few new folks to join the party too. Check out our Interviews Special this Friday in all the usual places!

11 AI isn’t a consumer tool—yet. It’s a developer-first project from ElevenLabs that lets builders integrate ultra-realistic voices into their platforms.
A sneak peek at the future of accessible, lifelike voice interaction.

Despite its ups and downs, ChatGPT is evolving fast—and might be more useful than you think, especially when paired with features like the Action Button.
It’s not perfect, but every update brings it closer to being the go-to tool for on-the-go answers.

Tech trainers often default to Apple—not because it’s better, but because it’s familiar. That bias creates a legacy hangover, shaping accessibility training and excluding Android without cause.
We need to question outdated preferences that still shape modern accessibility choices.

You wouldn’t lock your door to paying customers—so why make your business inaccessible? From malls to hospitals to airports, blind and low vision people want to shop, travel, and spend just like everyone else.
Accessibility isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s revenue.

Coming up on the show today, we will be live on the show floor from Sight Village. We will be talking about our travel experiences, which were interesting to say the least, and we will be talking about some of the cool tech we've seen so far. It's the first of two specials this week. Our Friday episode will contain all of the interviews we captured while at the event.

It's a tribute to the amazing community of Double Tappers that just after 12 noon ET I was flooded by emails wondering why today's episode of the show was in Spanish! Well we can confirm that it wasn't intentional! Keep an ear on your podcast apps - the correct version should appear shortly! Ola!!

Even seasoned travelers like our friend Kayaker Scott benefit from orientation & mobility refreshers.
Confidence doesn’t equal perfection—and returning to the basics can reignite essential skills.
