Sendero GPS, LookAround

Hello, all.  Have you ever wanted to find out what's in your neighborhood, and -- more importantly -- have you ever wanted to do it with an iPhone app that is fully accessible?  You're at the right place.  Although there are many apps that let you look around and see what's nearby, this one is special because it is made by a company who understands GPS and who also understands accessibility.  Check out this cool review of the LookAround app, done by my good friend and new co-host, Kevin Chao.  We look forward to many more reviews by this fine fellow, and I thank him immensely for this submission!!!

Birthday Carriage Ride!

Hello, all.  It is yet another in our on-going array of sound-seeing tours.  This time, Brandon and Kelly go on a really nice carriage ride to celebrate Brandon's birthday.  I hope you have fun joining them on their trip, and we look forward to yet more sound-seeing stuff from Brandon!!!  See you next time!

Speech recognition for Apple iDevices!

Hello, all.  Here is a really neat podcast about using Dragon Dictation on your Apple iDevice.  A gentleman who has appeared on BlindWorld several times in the past, Mr. Brandon Armstrong of Texas, USA, is the host of this show.  Sit back and enjoy the podcast, as Brandon shows you how to use this cool and now-accessible program to speak to your iDevice and have it input text for you.  Thanks to Brandon for this submission!  We at BlindWorld really appreciate it!!!http://www.shanejackson.net/Drago_Dictation.mp3

A Long-Awaited Accessibility Round Table Podcast!!!

It has indeed been quite a while since BlindWorld has done an accessibility podcast, and I thought it was about time we changed that.  Last evening, or whatever time of day is was for you all, I got together with six new participants, and this is the result of that gathering.  For this podcast, we had members from Texas, ALabama, Arizona, Louisiana via California, New York, and we actually had two from Ontario, Canada.  It is truly an international podcast, and we had a blast.  It turned into a fantastic discussion of IOS 4 and how it is used on a daily basis in the routines of different blind persons throughout the world, literally.  I am very excited that these fellows would take the time to help me get this one out to you all, and what fun it was!  We always try to do our very best for you listeners, and I do believe we have come back into the podcasting arena with a bang.  Sit back, relax, have a drink of your favorite beverage, eat your popcorn, and enjoy the latest BlindWorld round table!!!

Second and Final Part of the Gulfarium Podcast.

Hello good listeners and readers.  On this concluding part of the show, we visit exhibits, go to two more shows and pet a dolphin.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.  BBe sure and stay tuned for the next podcast!!!

First Gulfarium podcast.

Good evening, all.  Well, at least it's evening where I am.  Our last full day in Destin was probably the best one for me.  I got to pet a dolphin, just as I've been hoping to do for over 30 years.  It was totally awe-inspiring, and you get to come along with me as I do it!  On this first part of the Gulfarium tour, we go to a couple of exciting shows, feed a sting ray, and look around at a few of the exhibits.  The next podcast will be coming very soon, so stay tuned.
