401: Audio Description, Amazon App and Keyboard Modifiers

This week the team discuss the latest updates from Channel 4 following the outage that saw audio description, subtitling and signing become unavailable to a number of broadcasters due to a fire at the broadcast centre that handles all of the access services. There's also an update for fans of the Amazon shopping app following changes that left blind and partially sighted users unable to search and view results or product information. Plus Mark Evans from the Technology for Life team joins us to discuss keyboard modifier keys, what they are and why they are important. Plus there's more of your emails with questions on the best headsets for the office and what type of computer is best for someone looking to buy a PC with JAWS ready to go out of the box? As always send in your thoughts and comments to techtalk@rnib.org.uk and follow the team on Twitter. Steven Scott @BlindGuyTech, Robin Christopherson @USA2Day and Tim Schwartz @timschwartz5
