It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech show with the entire gang back together to recap the Apple Glow Time event in a way that only That Real Blind Tech Show can do.
We kick the show off with an exciting upcoming trip by Ed, and as we stumble through our intro Jeanine fills us in on how Aira Audio Described the debate. We then discuss the breaking news right before we recorded of Jon Bon Jovi talking a jumper off of a bridge.
Next we discuss the story of Gen-Z pissing everyone off with their new fad of filming their airport tray’s.
Brian then tells us all about this year’s 17th annual Laugh For Sight NYC at Gotham Comedy Club on Monday, October 28, 2024. For tickets go here. And one of our Hosts will soon have their own swag, hmm, who could it be?
If you are interested in attending the Lighthouse guild Mac versus PC Accessibility Smackdown on September 17, 2024 at 3pm Eastern Time on Zoom, you can register for it here.
Not everyone was tuned in to the Apple event as Pornhub’s tracking metrics didn’t drop everywhere during the event.
We then finally get around to discussing the apple Event It’s Glow time. We start off discussing if screen real estate makes a difference for gesture and braille with a lower case b input users. It was only quickly mentioned but could apple Visual Intelligence LookUp only available on the iPhone 16 Pro and up cause a lot of blind people to get new phones? We then discuss the new camera button coming to some of the phones. During the event apple kept pimping out the bigger battery life, so how much bigger is it? Here are the biggest differences between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro.
Apple announced a new Mag Safe charger, don’t buy it. Apple finally killed the lightning cable for all new products.
Apple announced the air Pod 4’s, making the Air Pod product line very confusing. The Air Pod Pro 2’s will be able to replace hearing aids for people with low to moderate hearing loss. Will Air Pods doubling as hearing aids challenge new social norms?
We got the Apple Watch Series 10, and one of us already ordered one. Sleep Apnea detection comes to the new watches.
We got a drop date for iOS 18 on Monday, September 16th, and fortunately Allison and Jeanine have been running the betas. Additionally, Mac OS Sequoia will also be dropping on Monday, but none of us have been beta testing it. Apple will actually allow users to stay on iOS 17 and still get security updates.
And it’s more of What’s Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.

Will the U.S. government look to break up Google and what would it mean for the consumer? And is Apple next on the Justice Department’s list? We then briefly discuss Pixel phones.

Mac OS Sequoia will require regular permission checks when using certain apps. And the E.U. will be forcing Apple to have App Developers provide an address, phone number and email on all paid App Store pages.

And would you like to unlock your iPhone with your heartbeat? Apple once thought of it.
So the whole CrowdStrike thing happened in between us recording, and now we have all heard of CrowdStrike. Delta’s CEO question if this sort of crash could ever happen on the Mac?

It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech Show. It’s a threesome as someone on the show does not know how the calendar and reminders work on the iPhone.
We start off insulting a member of our show, because we like to make fun of each other. It makes us feel more secure about our own lives.

Could the double level airplane seat be coming to an airline near you?
And of course right before we start recording Apple and Open A.I. reportedly have come to an agreement to have ChatGPT on iOS 18. We then got some leaked reports about Project Grey Matter out of Apple for iOS 18. In iOS 18, A.I. will give you more control to control specific features of apps using Siri, but don’t expect this feature to Abe available this year, why would you? The conversation then turns to should apple be announcing features that will not arrive for close to a year?
Of course Washington wants new A.I. laws to protect Hollywood and famous rich people. And on a related note, who knew that celebrity voice erotica is all the rage these days! We then dive in to what voice would be our ideal VoiceOver voice.
We then finally get to our yearly look back of wWDC 23. We discuss if we are any closer to being able to talk with our animals?
We then talk about the latest update on the Mac and Apple breaking QuickNav yet again. Seriously we will eventually get in to our Look Back of WWDC 23. We discuss Passkeys,
New voices, point and speak, personal voice, new auto correct and spelling features, and of course improved diction. Seriously how much worse has dictation gotten on the iPhone in the last year. We got a new Name Drop feature. We got a Journal app. We got Air Tag Sharing. We got new interactive widgets to the iPad. PDFs are now in Notes and supposedly more editable. Web Apps and Widgets came to the Mac. We got safari profiles, or did we? Snoopy and Woodstock came to the Apple Watch.

It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech Show. With an epic week in tech, we got the entire gang here to recap it all. We kick things off about pickles, but unlike a dirty pickle, this story is about a frozen pickle.
We then get a little side tracked about mice, alligators, and gerbils as only That Real Blind Tech show can do. We then get a lesson about the streets of Japan.
We then discuss the issue with the latest Jaws update.
We then dive in to the debacle known as the Sonos update.
Apple and Open A.I. are rumored to be finalizing details to have ChatGPT in iOS 18. We got our iOS 18 accessibility enhancements announced the day before Global Accessibility Awareness Day. In iOS 18 you will be able to use custom phrases to trigger actions. Here is a list of all the new accessibility features mentioned by Apple coming in iOS 18.
Open A.I. has unveiled ChatGPT 4 Omni, and it is pretty impressive. And because one article cannot sum it all up, here’s a second article discussing some of the other capabilities of ChatGPT 4o. Open A.I. will also be launching a Mac Desktop app, not available just yet as we have checked. ChatGPT will soon be able to see everything on your Mac or iPhone screen. Is this the beginning of the screen reader evolution? But the biggest thing coming out of Open A.I.’s announcements was Andy Lane showing off the next generation of vision as a blind person using ChatGPT 4Omni.
We then move on to discussing all the announcements that came out of Google IO. Android phones will now be able to tell if someone snatches your phone out of your hand. Gemini will also be getting better at understanding what is on your phone’s screen. Google glass may be dead, but Google is working on a new prototype of glasses. Android phones will soon allow you to use your face to control your cursor. Who knew with the explosion of A.I. that it would lead to Google actually cleaning up its search? Google has a lot of new enhancements coming to Android tool Lookout.

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

This leads to us discussing the horrific bug still in Google Chrome on the Mac which has yet to be fixed and makes chrome pretty much unusable to VoiceOver users.

Not only can Twitter’s new calling feature open you up to more scams, but it can also possibly expose your IP address. Here’s how to disable this call feature in Twitter. MuskButt plans to hide the Likes and ReTweets counts in future versions of Twitter.
