Windows Is Great & So Are Cats

Double Tap

In this chaotic edition of Double Tap, hosts Steven Scott and Shaun try to compose themselves and discuss various interesting topics. They start with a light-hearted banter about a listener's request for a cat sound effect, leading into a discussion about the pros and cons of using Windows versus Mac for audio editing.

The conversation shifts to the NVDA screen reader and its features, followed by a debate on the new Outlook interface.

Following a listener email from Brian, the guys get a bit more serious as they discuss the need for national centers to support blind people in technology training and job placement.

More emails provide insights into the challenges faced by the blind community, including the job market and the importance of accessible technology, as well as a fiery discussion about the right way to use the Glidance mobility aid called Glide.
