In this lively episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun dive deep into the evolving world of AI-powered accessibility. From humorous morning mishaps without coffee to serious discussions on open-source AI tools, they explore how anthropic’s Claude, co-work, and Claude Code can manage files, automate tasks, and even control multiple devices to simplify life for blind users.
Listener emails and voice messages highlight real-world applications, including filling inaccessible PDFs, managing spreadsheets with Claude for Excel, and using AI agents to handle complaints or schedule posts without relying on traditional apps. The hosts also discuss the growing importance of aesthetic design in assistive technology, sharing experiences with modern Braille displays and smart glasses that balance function and style.
