Talking Technology Episode 53 – Smart TVs, Siri Shortcuts, and Would You Pay for Alexa?



Date: Tuesday 19th March
Time: 2.30pm

This week, we delve into the accessibility features of a smart Samsung TV for blind and low-vision users, covering areas such as how to turn on and use features such as voice guidance, high contrast, magnification, and audio description.

Siri Shortcuts offer iPhone users a convenient way of performing many tasks and accessing favourite app features hands-free. We explain how.

As voice assistants become more intelligent thanks to generative AI, it has been rumoured that Amazon could charge a monthly subscription fee to use Alexa in the future. Would you pay for Alexa? You can send us a voice note to 086 199 0011 to share your thoughts.
