358: Amazon Show & Tell, Apple AirPod Max, and Emails

Good day to you all, welcome back to Tech Talk! We've got a Steven, a Robin, a Tim and an Andy on today's show, the usual suspects.

On today's show, we welcome Amazon Show and Tell to a UK audience, an accessibility feature that identifies common pantry items and other things using your Echo Show's camera. It's new to these shores, and we waste no time in discussing its usefulness and uniqueness - Steven spoke to Dennis Stansbury from Amazon UK to talk about how it all works.

Speaking of Lady A, we hear from Yvonne Brooks from the RNIB's Technology for Life team, who joins us to explain the range of Alexa products with a screen - a must listen if you're thinking of buying an Echo Show for Christmas!

Speaking of treating yourself to a gift over Christmas, there's also been some rather expensive over-ear headphones released recently - AirPod Max headphones are the latest product released under the Apple brand, and it's causing quite a stir, well... the price tag is, at least.



Which of the group has been the first to order a pair? Yes, you've probably guessed right there.

Also, we get back into the emails! How do you set a personalised alarm on Lady A? Or go about researching online whilst visually impaired? We also get some feedback on accessible voting, and the Fire TV Cube.

[email protected] is the place to fire us your emails - we'll be getting back to them early into 2021!
