Creating a Blind Toolkit: #Blindtok E:4

In Episode 4 of #BlindTok, Murray Elbourne and Tammy Jackson unpack what really goes into your toolkit, and spoiler: it's way bigger than assistive technology. From AI-powered apps like Seeing AI and Microsoft Copilot to motion-sensor hallway lights, LED strips under kitchen cabinets, and the ever-reliable smart speaker that keeps chiming in uninvited, they share the creative, practical, and constantly evolving ways they navigate daily life with vision loss. They get honest about the overwhelm of keeping up with rapid tech changes, why voice technology is becoming a game-changer, and how even "supersonic hearing" deserves a spot in the toolkit. Murray also shares highlights from a week-long workshop with blind and low-vision teenagers at Microsoft, where the next generation explored what AI can do for them. Whether you're looking for new ideas or just want to feel seen, this episode is perfectly designed for you.
