In this episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun dive into real-world accessibility wins, AI breakthroughs like Gemini Live, and listener feedback from around the globe. Plus, Hable Co-founder Freek van Welsenis shares a special offer on the Hable One and Hable Easy.
The show kicks off with tech support frustrations, DNS workarounds, and the strange case of WhatsApp syncing only on mobile data. Steven and Shaun then explore Copilot integration, AI writing tools on Outlook, and new voice-activated features on Windows and iOS. A standout moment comes when Steven uses Gemini Live to help iron a shirt—demonstrating the growing usefulness of AI for blind users in everyday tasks.
Later, they take listener emails, covering everything from Android accessibility tips and Linux editing challenges, to frustrations with podcast playback on Victor Reader. The episode also includes an in-depth conversation with Freek van Welsenis of Hable, who announces a worldwide 15% discount for Double Tap listeners and shares insights on user feedback, Hable Easy adoption, and training support.
