Discover how blind tech enthusiasts are harnessing AI tools, accessible apps, and community-built projects to take control of their digital lives. From AI songwriting to coding accessible software, this episode of Double Tap is packed with tools, tips, and inspiration.

Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into a lively conversation about the exciting world of accessible tech powered by AI. Steven unboxes a surprise goodie bag from Perkins, including the Perkins Bloom for smart Braille support. The duo explore how AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT are revolutionising accessibility — from creating apps in bed to managing previously inaccessible systems.

They highlight community-driven projects like Quill (a powerful accessible text editor) and Clipman (a Windows clipboard manager). Plus, they share early impressions of QuickMail, an accessible email client, and the new book No Site Required by Tony Gebhard — a must-read for anyone wanting to navigate AI tools and websites with a screen reader. Guest contributor Robin Christopherson even joins to demo his zombie-inspired audio game Dead Zone and praise Clipman.
