    Tripple W or Talking Tech for May 20 2025

    Plaud AI Pin   If you have ever felt a FitBit, this is the size of the Plaud AI pin. As I said in the episode, app mainly works ok, device is ok to use.   https://www.amazon.com.au/PLAUD-Notetaker-Transcribe-Summarize-Languages/dp/B0DZWQ9WWJ/ref=sxin_15_sbv_search_btf?content-id=amzn1.sym.e97d0f60-983b-4a36-b35e-ccbffb80a35f%3Aamzn1.sym.e97d0f60-983b-4a36-b35e-ccbffb80a35f&crid=160HN41YPT0FW&cv_ct_cx=plaid%2Bai%2Bpin&keywords=plaid%2Bai%2Bpin&pd_rd_i=B0DZWQ9WWJ&pd_rd_r=3ce26411-cd20-43ec-b14c-f98f6112cdf7&pd_rd_w=CexLI&pd_rd_wg=9vz75&pf_rd_p=e97d0f60-983b-4a36-b35e-ccbffb80a35f&pf_rd_r=CW43KGFNDR5JNMXD0C4K&qid=1747716672&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=plaud%2Bai%2Bpin%2Caps%2C260&sr=1-1-0a53d72a-e58c-4324-b739-134d51de9f78&th=1   The Speaker I talked About for $13 Au   Small speaker that did USB, 3.5, and Bt plus had FM radio. Volume was good, FM good, connectivity via Bluetooth poor, and making sure it was charged was almost useless via the micro USB. Attracted me because of the FM chip and the volume was great. If you search for Bt speaker with UsB, 3.5, and FM radio that is really really cheap at $13 that will probably be it.   Ray Ban Meta Glasses on the Vision Store   As I said in the episode, lots of places to purchase this, not NDIS funded, main demos probably at major VA sites, and two corrections to VA Store promo: you can hear the audio from the glasses via the person next to you, and its not a good idea to Bt connect them to any thing else as you will have issues reconnecting them to your phone again with the Meta AI app.   https://shop.visionaustralia.org   Apple Accessibility Sneak Peak from GAAD 2025   Looks very interesting , especially the Braille Note taker, and using continuity iPhone camera as a portable VM on your Mac. API opening up for camera based assistive apps on the Vision Pro looks interesting as well, but quite happy with my Ray Bans.   https://www.apple.com/au/newsroom/2025/05/apple-unveils-powerful-accessibility-features-coming-later-this-year/   As I sign Off this week   Testing JAWS sneak build that works with the Monarch, Tactile View Beta tactile images with the Monarch, and Wing It app all demos coming from me in August when this should all be released fully. Of course, I will be doing demos when I get my hands on the development builds of IOS etc once WWDC is happening.   Catch me on social media or davidwoodbr@gmail.com

    BrailleDoodle demo part 2

    In this demo, I talk about the importance of accessing the accessible QR code to learn how to use the BrailleDoodle fully, which then leads me on to my next point, and that is the amazing function of the BrailleDoodle where you can practice each character displayed on the back of the BrailleDoodle as well as having an example to work with for each character. Also, happy to say BrailleDoodle is now available from the Vision Australia Vision Store: https://shop.visionaustralia.org/brailledoodle.html   Have fun. Woody
