    In this episode of Double Tap, hosts Steven Scott and Shaun Priest are joined by Carrie Morales, also known as Carrie On Accessibility, to discuss the latest in Google technology, focusing on Android, Chrome OS updates, and the Google Pixel Watch 2.

    Carrie is an avid Android user and fills the hosts in on what they've been missing out on as iPhone users.

    NVDA's latest update, 2024.2, is also highlighted, featuring new additions like SoundSplit for audio channel separation, quick navigation commands, and enhancements in braille support. The hosts emphasize the importance of supporting NVDA through donations.

    Meta's extension of video recording to three minutes on Ray-Ban smart glasses is another topic of interest. Steven shares his experience with the AI functionality on the glasses, noting its limitations outside the UK and the workaround using a VPN.

    The show also touches on rumours about Amazon charging for an AI-powered version of Alexa, sparking a debate on the viability and customer acceptance of such a move. The hosts express skepticism about Amazon's strategy if they decide to implement subscription fees for advanced AI features.

    Bluetooth Speakers, Multi-Room Audio & Smart Wireless Headphones

    In this episode, Steven and Shaun get all nostalgic about their love of audio and long for the days of physical media rather than digital downloads.

    However, they don’t stay nostalgic for long as they dive into the crazy world of Bluetooth speakers, multiroom systems and smart wireless headphones.

    Steven talks about the new Bose Soundlink speakers and also shares that he is due to review a pair of the new Sonos Ace headphones, which he admits should be interesting considering the recent developments at the company which led to an inaccessible app being born affecting many blind people - more on that to come on the next Double Tap.
