They share lesser-known TalkBack gestures, discuss affordable Android phones with strong accessibility support, and explain how to maximize Windows using only the keyboard.

Listeners ask about the most accessible video doorbell—Ring vs. Blink—and Steven explains why Blink may win on both usability and cost. They explore the reappearance of OrCam in the assistive tech market and examine the value of specialty devices like RealSam Pocket and OpenBook with the Pearl Camera. The episode also covers video editing challenges with screen readers, including why Clipchamp may be the best free option for now.
