Descripción de Podcast 22: Window Eyes, Google contact lenses, connected toothbrushes & the Fitbit Flex

The team kick off with the news that GW Micro Window Eyes is now free to people using Microsoft Office 2010 or higher. Kiran Léonie and Robin consider the implications for propriatary screen readers like Jaws and Supernova, as well as free screen readers like NVDA. Kiran, Léonie and Robin then turn their attention to CES 2014 and the Internet of Things, the Kolibree connected toothbrush, and the LG smart washing machine. Home automation is back on the agenda with the news that Google has bought Nest, but Léonie wonders about the wisdom of letting Google dabble in so many areas of our lives. Kiran talks about the British Gas Hive smart thermostat, before Léonie mentions Google’s smart contact lenses for Diabetics. Robin is on the move with his Fitbit Flex, ahead of tackling a 100 mile walk in May! Next up is the Samsung Core Advanced smart phone, with features designed specifically for blind and partially sighted people. Robin mentions The Funnies, the self voicing Windows 8 Phone game that won the Nokia Create Doo Good award, but Kiran refuses to discuss Windows 8 Phone until it gets a proper screen reader. The team return to the matter of mobile games, and take it upon themselves to play some more before the next episode of AccessTalk. @AccessTalk Podcast 22 (MP3, 47Mb)Audio Download @AccessTalk podcasts
