Envision’s New ‘Ally’ Feature Is Now In Beta

Today on the show Steven and Shaun find out about a new feature from Envision called Ally that acts as your personal assistant for performing tasks and giving you information.

Karthik Karnan, the founder and CTO of Envision, joins the guys to chat about its more personalised approach to assistance, with the ability to use the service across phone, glasses and the web soon. You can sign up for the beta of Ally right now.

There’s also more of your feedback including an interesting email from listener James on his views on the value and necessity of braille, furthering our own discussion recently on the topic. Also, following Graham’s request for information about quiet talking clocks, we find ourselves with a doctor in the house - Doctor Clock himself from the Talking Watch Shop in the UK.

Doctor Clock tells us about and demonstrates the TC-100 and VTC-03 clocks on sale. You can find out more by visiting Talking Watch Shop online or call 0345 00 40 100.

Get in touch with Double Tap by emailing us [email protected] or by call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail. You can also find us across social media. Double Tap is available daily on AMI-audio across Canada, on podcast worldwide and now on YouTube.
