Manage episode 489256692 series 1914096
In this episode of Double Tap, hosts Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive deep into the latest updates in Android 16 and TalkBack 16. You'll hear firsthand experiences, expert analysis from John Dyer of Blind Android Users, and listener feedback on Alexa Plus and the importance of fair pay.
Steven and Shaun kick off the show with humor and tech banter before exploring Marissa's early access to Alexa Plus. Her smart home experiences and testing of video doorbell AI descriptions spark an engaging discussion on accessibility and real-world use.
Later, listener TJ shares thoughts on fair compensation for disabled professionals, prompting a candid conversation about the value of lived experience and emotional labor. Callum asks for help demystifying screen reader navigation modes, leading to a promise for a future deep dive.
The highlight comes with John Dyer’s walkthrough of Android 16’s new notification features, theft detection, and system-wide accessibility improvements. TalkBack 16 gets even more exciting with screen descriptions, follow-up questions via Gemini, and better table navigation.
