Smart Speakers with David Ward, and more from the Email Inbox RNIB Tech Talk

Hello everyone, it's Tech Talk o'clock!




This week's show is split into two halves; firstly, Steven, Robin, and Tim are joined by David Ward, host of the Echo Tips podcast to talk all things smart speakers! The show is part of the New Vision Programme run by Goodwill Industries of the Valleys in Virginia in the US.




What's the one thing that would make Robin leave the Echo family, and head over to Google? What annoys Steven the most about owning a smart speaker? What productivity skills available on the Echo range are Tim's most commonly used?




In the second half, we're joined by Andy to dip our techy toes in the pool of emails from you, dear listener! Among the topics covered today - more love for the Victor Reader Stream and the Orbit Writer, a final glance over a few responses on the Braille illiteracy topic, overly long audiobooks, and not much love for the female American voices on talking microwaves! 




You too can have your email read out on air... maybe even get a regal email title to go with it! Email TechTalk@RNIB.org.uk with your thoughts, feelings or burning questions, and we'll get to them in the coming weeks.




Until next week, stay safe!
