Talking Tech for April 17 2017
\\nName of the App That was Made more Accessible for iPhone/Watch Talked about Last week
\\nGentler Streak Fitness app.
\\nI find this gives me a lot more information than the Workout/Activity apps on my watch/phone.

\\nColor Star from Care Tech - Conor Identifier and Light detecter

\\nKick Starter Restarting May 2 2023 - BrailleDoodle from Touch
\\nFrom the Touch Pad Pro Foundation.
\\nThis device has me interested. It\\u2019s like a reverse hand frame where magnetic balls are pulled up via a stylus in a grid of hundreds of holes to produce diagrams, maths, words etc in Braille.
\\nThen to simply get rid of the Braille, push the balls/pins down.
\\nThis was shown off at CSuN 2023, $70 US when the Kick Starter starts again I believe on May 2.
\\nI\\u2019m pre-ordering mine just for the novelty of this product.

\\nClarification about the Braille used in the Big Vision Books from Vision Australia
\\nThe Braille in these books are UV printed not embossed, thus the Braille is quite flat and hard to read. You can ask for an embossed version to be sent out to you.
