Double Tap Talking Microwaves From CNIB & Cobolt Systems
In this episode, Steven Scott and Shaun discuss various topics related to assistive technology, including the Glide Mobility Aid, user experiences, and the importance of confidence in new mobility solutions.
Listener emails also bring up the topic of living with hearing loss as well as blindness, and the challenges of using hearing aids alongside assistive technology, plus how cochlear implants can be useful to so many people.
There’s also much discussion on the latest kitchen gadgets made accessible by specialist tech companies and organisations out there, starting with an interview recorded at SIght Village in London, UK with Simon Cox from Cobolt Systems. We learn about their new talking dual drawer air fryer and talking microwave/oven.
Shaun also catches us with Bram Caron from CNIB to hear about their new talking microwave that has just come to the market across the country.
