This month we meet Niall Gallagher, who is living in Sligo and has recently
graduated with a Masters degree in Human Resource Management from the
University of Limerick. We discuss Niall's use of technology and the importance
of having good IT skills when accessing higher education.
Stuart is joined by Ed Rogers and Steph Tyszka, from Bristol Braille
Technology, to talk about a new multi-line Braille reader called Canute.
We announce details of an information session run by INBAF, the Irish National
braille and Alternative Formats Association, to introduce the Unified English
Braille (UEB) and Updated Irish Braille (UIB) codes, taking place in Galway in
early March.
Finally, Eleanor Burke joins Stuart from London, to discuss her use of
technology, both screen magnification and screen reading, as well as OCR and
particularly, the recently released KNFB Reader for iOS.
Kind regards,
Stuart
