The always wonderful Amos Miller from Glidance joined us today to answer questions about the delay to Glide, and a whole host of other topics relating to the new mobility device. Watch here: https://youtu.be/3fOk-MMhlZY?si=bp9sNZvctrX-LoWt&utm_source=MTQxZ

@brian_hartgen Just Press Record is a good option and also supports external mics. Or Tape It which I haven't used personally but heard good things.

Sadly we couldn't make today work for Amos and I so the update on Glidance will be coming on Wednesday's episode. However there's plenty to talk about on today's show - and it's Shaun's birthday!

So what's the deal with BlueSky? Is it any good for us blind folks? Are there accessible apps? I'm not looking for a debate into how good or bad it is - all social media is a cesspool - I'm more interested in the accessibility of the platform.

Following the news this week from Glidance that their launch date has been delayed until Spring 2026, founder and CEO Amos Miller will join us on Double Tap on Tuesday to talk through the decision and answer more of your questions. What would you like to ask Amos?

@kevinrj @jakobrosin I've even heard people say they listen at 3x speed. I met someone once who felt weird talking to me in person because I wasn't speaking fast enough! Hilarious.

Tune into Double Tap on Thursday to hear from Aira CEO Troy Otillio who tells us about the origin of their partnership with Google, what it means for blind users, and why it isn't available outside of the US (and how we can get involved to make it happen). Tune in on AMI-audio across Canada, on podcast and on YouTube.

@jakobrosin Totallly understand my friend. We are there for the quieter days, if such a thing exists

@jakobrosin Yeah all good my friend. Just crazy busy as usual.

@jakobrosin Ah interesting ok thanks. Hope you're well Jakob!

@jakobrosin Just for my own interests, are there other features from Aira that are US-only?

Speaking to Aira shortly for an exclusive chat around their partnership with Google, and in particular Project Astra. Anything you want to know?

What's the blind perspective on Google I/O? Check out tomorrows episode of Double Tap to find out, featuring special guest @CarrieOnA11y

@BlindGordon Ah ok cool. Glad you found a solution!

@amir Another point to note is that you can't seem to rename your notebooks - the text field doesn't let you type or delete anything despite it announcing the text insertion is at the end.

@BlindGordon Have you tried interacting with the mail list and moving through it with VO Left and Right? I'll test it here myself but personally the automatic changing to read never bothered me cos I was usually deleting as I went anyway but it would be good for it to be optional.

@CallumStoneman @DavidGoldfield @freedomscientific We are on the case!
