Shopping is probably one of the most time-consuming things we, as visually impaired people, routinely tackle.  On this episode of Tech Tips:  The Podcast, I’ll be talking with Patrick Long of Innosearch.AI about his site’s approach to making shopping easier for the visually impaired community.  After our conversation, keep listening for a special offer from Innosearch.AI for Tech Tips listeners.

In this episode I talk with Jay Cormier, CEO and founder of Eyedaptic about their new EYE6 Glasses with Ivy.  Ivy is their new AI powered visual assistant that works in concert with their revolutionary glasses.  The glasses use an onboard camera to magnify and enhance images for people who suffer from AMD, Age-Related Macular Degeneration, and other retinal degenerative diseases.

The Foundation Fighting Blindness, (FFB), hosted it's biennial Visions Conference in Chicago.  An exhibit hall was included with the conference pass featuring manufacturers and organizations dedicated to helping people with visual impairments.  On this episode of Tech Tips:  The Podcast, I will be featuring discussions with ReBokeh, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Solar Grove, Patriot Vision and Freedom Scientific about all the fascinating products and services they have to offer.

Florida based Blazie Technologies recently announced their new BT Speak Pro.  Listen to David Goldfield talk about this tiny, but mighty pint-sized computer designed specifically for people who are blind.

Eyedaptic is company dedicated to helping people suffering from AMD, and other related eye conditions, regain as much of their independence as possible.  Listen as CEO Jay Cormier talks about these remarkable glasses, and what's on the horizon.

Computers are expensive.  We all know that.  With an unemployment rate of over 70% among people who are visually impaired, most cannot afford to purchase a computer.  Then, there's the software necessary to be able to use the computer.  Computers for the Blind is working to change that by offering computers preloaded with screen magnifiers, or readers, at a substantial discount to the visually impaired community.  In this episode of Tech Tips, I talk with Marci and Bryan about Computers for the Blind and how you can purchase a computer for almost nothing.

Join me as I talk with Andy Lane of Be My Eyes about the app that gives visual assistance to people who are visually impaired.
