Hi All, There is a brand new Tech Doctor podcast at http://www.dr-carter.com
Here are the show notes. During this hour, Robert has a fascinating conversation with, Jolie Mason, the founder and program director of the Los Angeles Radio Reading Service. The LA Reading Service can be heard world wide on an iOS app called <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iblink-radio/id332027117?mt=8";>iBlink Radio</a> In addition to her radio reading service work, Jolie hosts a radio show on a Los Angeles radio station <a href="http://www.kpfk.org";>KPFK</a> The show is called "Access Unlimited" and can be heard online by going to the KPFK site. Jolie is an enthusiastic iPhone user but did express some frustration with the fact that VoiceOver users are required to use different gestures than those that are used by sighted iPhone users. Robert mentions a new book that teaches iPhone VoiceOver users everything they need to know. The book is available from the National Braille Press and is called <a href="http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/IPHONE-IOS5.html";>Getting Started with the IPhone and iOS 5 for Blind Users</a> Jolie and Robert discuss an excellent website filled with information about Apple accessibility. The site is called <a href="http://www.applevis.com";>Applevis</a> There is a new iOS, Android and PC app that allows people to voice chat with other users of the app throughout the world. It has become very popular with blind people. The app is called <a href="http://www.zello.com";>Zello</a> One thing that can quickly become a problem is finding a particular app on your iPhone. This problem occurs once you have dozens of apps. Jolie describes her excellent system for organizing and categorizing all of her apps. Finally, Jolie and Robert discuss some of their favorite apps for learning about birds and for using the iPhone in the kitchen. Here are the links to some really great birding apps. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/birdtunes/id375875226?mt=8";>BirdTunes</a> <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/national-geographics-handheld/id315268465?mt=8";>Handheld Birds</a> <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chirp!-bird-songs-usa-+/id364891918?mt=8";>Chirp Bird Songs USA +</a> <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibird-explorer-pro/id308018823?mt=8";>iBird Explorer Pro</a> Here are the links to the cooking and shopping apps that Jolie described. <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/grocery-smart/id415326784?mt=8";>Grocery Smart</a> <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shopshop-shopping-list/id288350249?mt=8";>ShopShop</a> <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/list-recorder/id381936335?mt=8";>List Recorder</a> <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crock-pot-virtual-cooking/id357825881?mt=8";>Crock-Pot Virtual Cooking Timer</a> <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cooking/id405065324?mt=8";>Cooking</a> <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fastmall-shopping-malls-community/id340656157?mt=8";>FastMall</a> My visit with Jolie was delightful.
