Blind Bargains Qast 57: #CSUN16 Wrap-up, The Year of Braille Cocktails

This year, Blind Bargains brought you more CSUN audio and coverage than ever before. We've called it the Year of Braille and our audio coverage proves it, with 13 of our podcasts talking about the bumpy dots. On episode 57, our CSUN podcast team, J.J. Meddaugh, Joe Steinkam, and Shelly Brisbin, discuss their highlights and lowlights of the conference as well as a few other stories that happened while the team was in San Diego.

Lots of comments on our CSUN coverage. Here's a few, starting with some wildly differing opinions on the BrailleNote Touch:

I am very excited about this announcement. I was totally not expecting it to be this awesome. I m glad they were able to port keysoft over to android, and can t wait to have a play with it at the NFB convention this summer. Notetakers are still important to me, so I m really glad they did this.

So it's a rip-off of Apple's smart cover, Braille screen input, and a Nexus 7, with a version of Android that is already two generations behind, with an inflated price and the limitations of Keysoft. Do I have that about right?

@DavyKager
From the @blindbargains interview with @HumanWare, I get the distinct feeling these guys know their software.

@tiflomanolo: Hi, can you share your experience with the Dot Smart Watch Braille. Specifically, the touch and feel of the braille cells

They were showing an early prototype in the booth, so it was hard to feel the cells themselves. That being said, the concept has promise.

Rickster1963: great CSUN coverage, JJ's interview with amazon was great! I'm going to purchase a fire tablet now!

On Joe's audiogames chat:

@Mfeir: I thoroughly enjoyed listening to that discussion. Every bit of awareness helps.

@y_sotomayor: What the hell happened to @RangerStation s voice on the @blindbargains podcast? It is way deeper than usual.

Last Word:

Easter was last Sunday, so Joe found us an Easter Egg?

Wow, what a show. We've still got some CSUN specials from Hims in the pipeline, and then it's back to normal? shows each week. Thanks to Jamie Pauls, Scott Davert, and Patrick Perdue for working behind the scenes to make our coverage go as smoothly as possible. Thanks for coming along for the ride.
