271: Accessibility, WebAim, Seeing AI and Lire

This week on Tech Talk the hosts talk about the state of web accessibility in 2019. Steven Scott and Robin Christopherson hear from Gerard from WebAim about their most recent survey of one million websites and their accessibility. Also we hear from the man who created the popular Microsoft app Seeing AI, and the guys discuss Apple’s latest offerings from their ‘Showtime’ Event. There’s also a demonstration of how the Lire app works on iPhone for anyone wanting to get their news via RSS (really simple syndication).
