Dear All, The March episode of our monthly technology podcast is now available, either directly at http://www.ncbi.ie/sites/default/files/podcasts/podcast_march_2014.mp3 or through our RSS feed. This month, Jonathan Mosen joins us from New Zealand, to tell us about his new company Appcessible.net, which offers a really innovative service to developers, who want to make sure that their Android and iOS apps are fully accessible. Independent radio producer Cathal Joyce is here to chair a panel discussion all about technology and people with low vision. Our panellists are Derbhile Graham, Oran O'Neill and Byron Lee, the creator of a new website called Low Vision Rants. Our panellists discuss everything from using different magnification packages, to using a handheld magnifier to see your computer or mobile device's screen. some of their favourite websites and applications include Balabolka, which allows the conversion of documents into a variety of audio formats, Janetter, a very nice Twitter client which will certainly suit some users with low vision and finally High Contrast, a podcast produced by Serotek Corporation, which has lots of useful tips for low vision users of technology. If you have any feedback or if there is something you'd like us to cover, or you wish to make a contribution, we would love to hear from you.
