开云体育Thanks for this Adrian.? Thik I am now subscribed to Double Tap on my BlindShell phone as well as QueCast on the PC.
As an aside, Jonathan Mosen has done a cracking interview with Dean Blazie on the new Braille 'n' Speak devices on Living Blindfully.? I'd always thought Dean Blazie was blind but he isn't.? Encouraging that a seeing person got it so right for blind users.
I find Double Tap a bit too chatty for my liking but will give a listen. Ray.

开云体育Hi Ray ? I don’t know, that is the first time I have heard those podcasts, I used to listen to Stven when he used to do the techtalk rnib podcast. ? Some of the bug fixes in the stream 3 are going to make it far better, the scanning issue and book shelf order, I am looking forward to them getting the bugs fixed. ? Regards Adrien ? I am raising funds to buy my own wheelchair, I have to do this because of changes to NHS services local to me. If you can help me by donating or spreading the word, please feel free. Many thanks. ? ?
