Today on the show, Steven and Shaun discuss the app that they never discussed. Call Annie is an app for iOS that uses the latest ChatGPT technology to bring you a human-like virtual assistant you can talk to just as if you were having a FaceTime call with a friend. Although Steven’s attempts to demonstrate the app were shaky, download the app and try it for yourself on iOS here: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/call-annie/id6447928709

Also, Thomas Domville, also known as Anonymouse on the AppleVis website, joins the guys to demonstrate the new ChatGPT app for iOS that is now available in 40 more countries, including the UK and Canada. Listen to the longer and more in-depth review from Thomas directly from the AppleVis website: https://www.applevis.com/podcasts/introduction-official-chatgpt-ios-app

And, of course, there’s more of your feedback.

On the Express this week, Steven and Shaun discuss what’s been in the news this week with a look at Open AI’s Chat GPT app arriving in more countries, including Canada. Plus there’s news on Neuralink, who claim the U.S. FDA has approved human trials to begin on its implant device, which could have an incredible impact on people who are disabled; and iACast podcast host Michael Noise talks about accessibility of the new Final Cut and Logic Pro apps for iPad. There’s also discussion following our interviews this week about Reaper accessibility and the state of Apple accessibility. Plus, Shaun goes dotty about Braille following his latest purchase.

Today on the show, Steven and Shaun delve into the Inbox to hear and discuss more of your comments following the past few episodes of the show.

What has he done? Thankfully, it was all in the aid of promoting digital accessibility.
