Vispero Talks Next Big Thing Contest & What’s Coming In JAWS 2025

Today on the show Steven and Shaun find out about the upcoming Next Big Thing contest that started last year by Vispero, makers of the JAWS screenreader, and also 

They begin by looking ahead to today’s announcement by Logitech, who have promoted that a new MX device may be coming soon, in the form of a keyboard or mouse. 

Listener emails focus in on the implications of driverless cars for the blind community, the challenges of public transport, as well as asking for podcasting tips and providing more app recommendations.

Our main feature interview is with Vispero to discuss their Next Big Thing contest that is taking place right now. Joining Steven and Shaun is Matt Ater and Ryan Jones from the company to talk about the contest, as well as to inform us about some of the new updates coming soon in JAWS 2025.
