Discover how blind tech enthusiasts are using vibe coding and AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT to create accessible apps, manage photo libraries, and tackle real-life challenges with Bluetooth audio, dictation, and image descriptions.

In this lively episode of Double Tap, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into listener emails exploring the rise of vibe coding—where blind users leverage AI to create apps, add-ons, and personal tools without traditional coding knowledge.

James shares a practical VoiceOver tip for controlling Bluetooth speaker output, while Chris and Alison highlight how AI-assisted coding empowers blind developers. Donny asks how to manage and describe thousands of photos on an iPhone using apps like Be My Eyes, Seeing AI, and Apple’s built-in features. Gavin rounds out the discussion with a humorous but relatable critique of Apple’s struggling dictation.

The hosts discuss accessibility, personal projects, and the exciting potential of AI to democratise coding and improve everyday tech experiences for blind users.
