Discover how the VoiceOver Learning Lounge empowers blind and low vision users to master the Mac and iPhone with ease. Learn how Charmaine Co’s accessible training and audio lessons can transform unused Apple devices into powerful tools for work and life.

Steven Scott and Shaun Preece welcome Charmaine Co, an assistive tech instructor from Vancouver, to explore her innovative VoiceOver Learning Lounge. This resource offers flexible, remote training for blind and low vision users who struggle to get started with Mac or iPhone accessibility.

Charmaine shares her journey from teaching JAWS and Braille to developing on-demand lessons and live coaching sessions that help learners confidently use VoiceOver, Excel, Word, web browsers, and more—without feeling like they’re back in school. She also highlights the importance of practical, bite-sized lessons that prevent expensive tech from gathering dust.

The episode also features listener emails about guide dogs, mobility, and PC refresh habits, along with requests for step-by-step TailScale tutorials.
