This week on Talking Technology we caught up with Andrew Flatres from HumanWare to discuss the monarch, a new device capable of displaying braille and tactile graphics. Andrew tells us about the really cool new capability’s of the device, and why they threw one down a metal staircase in Canada. Did we mention they cost £14,000?

In tech news we discuss the impact of cuts to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at some of the world’s biggest companies, and we look to the future at some of the innovations at this years CES.

We’ve got accessibility companies getting in trouble, news on new Vision Ireland courses, and a BrailleSense 6 software update, so we really do have a packed Show.
