The entire gang is back together in full for the first time in awhile. We kick the show off discussing a woman who has it much worse with the airlines then any guide dog handler!

Apple has announced an event for May 7th, but it is most likely just an iPad event. Apple has struck up talks again with ChatGPT to possibly include in iOS 18, what would this mean for Apple’s own Generative A.I.? Apple has yanked three apps from the App Store that could create nude A.I. fakes. Here at That Real Blind Tech Show we’re not always about the positive so we discuss the worst ever of WWDC. Once again only one of us was not aware of this feature, as did you know that your iPhone has a white noise machine built in to it?

We then discuss the status of Google search and the man credited with killing Google search. Only over due for about a decade Google’s Groups IO finally has gotten an accessibility update, but one major thing is missing from the update.

We then discuss the state of the Smart Home, and what happened to all the innovation with Smart Homes. Has the economy and inflation killed the Smart Home? Remember Matter?

Like the A.I. Humane Pin, the early reviews are in for the Rabbit R!, and the reviews are not stellar. With all these handheld devices coming out, is the future of A.I. still our phones?

Ed then tells us about the recent conference he attended in Arizona Move United about adaptive sports.

Will a new scenic app from Honda make those long drives for blind people more scenic and eventful?

Ed then tells us about a little side project of his that happened this past week.

And its more of What’s Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.

It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech show minus one Ed as he is sick again, but the rest of the gang is here and well.

We kick things off discussing the eclipse because why wouldn’t we? We then discuss the death of O.J. Simpson, again because why wouldn’t we?

We then dive in to the tech news and start off discussing the conclusion to the VoiceDream Reader controversy and how the blindness community responded to it.

And our new favorite term, Subscription Creep has hit 2/3 of Americans.

Early reviews of the Smart A.I. Humane Pin have not been good or kind. Will the Rabbit R1 be everything we were hoping the Humane A.I. Pin was going to be?

Microsoft is annoying users with a full screen pop up to upgrade to Windows 11 even if your machine cannot update to Windows 11.

Well everyone on That Real Blind Tech show except Brian knew that their iPhone had a secret code scanner app. Who knew? Is the Apple Vision Pro the most underwhelming Apple Product ever and are we still excited about it? Even with Apple Vision Pro being a swing and a miss for us we are still hopeful for Apple Glasses eventually. Is your Apple Watch suffering from Ghost Touch? Why has Apple paid millions to Shutter Stock to help train its Generative A.I. Program? Apple is planning a big M4 Mac update for A.I., ugh. And because WWDC is only two months away we decided to discuss some of the hottest iOS 18 rumors.

And as usual we get sidetracked and start talking about the A.I. app Pi. Which then leads us in to a conversation of will A.I. be revolutionary for screen reader users and accessibility? Only problem with all of this is that under a newly proposed law A.I. companies will have to fess up on what they are using to train their A.I. models before releasing them.

We then discuss the upcoming conference for VizWiz that Brian will be speaking at and recall the history of Vizwiz. Which then leads us down memory lane of all the computer vision apps that have come and gone over the years.

It’s an all new extra extra big That Real Blind Tech show as it’s our 2024 CSUN recap episode. It is so big that we have the ladies Jeanine and Allison recording with friend of the podcast David Goldstein and because someone who edits the show got sick we then have Brian and Ed recapping CSUN as well. It all comes together in one giant Kumbaya podcast episode for your listening pleasure.

Jeanine starts out discussing the announcements made by Aira at this year’s CSUN. We’ll give you a clue it has something to do with A.I.

And because Brian and Ed were not here yet, Allison, David , and Jeanine then discuss the braille with a lower case b keyboards announced at this year’s CSUN.

We then cut to our main men on the ground at CSUN for their insights in to everything they experienced first hand at this year’s CSUN.

Brian and Ed start off discussing a recent article by a man who is losing his vision that appeared in the Atlantic, and they could not disagree with the article more. They then discuss the upcoming release of David Kingsbury third edition of the Windows Screen Reader Primer. And then discuss the upsetting news about VoiceDream Reader moving to a monthly subscription model even if you have bought a lifetime license.

Mike Buckley then pops by to discuss the latest announcements coming out of Be My A.I.

Brian and Ed discuss the multiple cocktail hours they hit at CSUN, OKO, the new Guidance Guidance System, Celeste Glasses, Enivision AI, Vispero, Deque, WeWalk Cane, Fa Fable, Stevie Wonder, Irish Car Bombs, Google Suite, and much more that they experienced in person at CSUN.

It’s then back to the ladies and David for some more banter and more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.
