TSP1 - The Pre-Event Show

In this first episode of the new AbilityNet TechShare Procast, hosts Steven Scott and Robin Christopherson cram in all of the following audio-interview goodness: AbilityNet's Mark Walker chats about the big names to see at TechShare Pro, including Microsoft's Chief Accessibility Officer, Jenny Lay Flurrie, who meets with Mark to discuss 'the secret sauce for achieving accessibility'. Paul Smyth, Head of Digital Accessibility at Barclays, discusses championing accessibility the Barclays way, while Christopher Patnoe chats to AbilityNet's Annie Mannion about Google's accessibility projects over the past year - including Sound Amplifier, Live Transcribe and Project Euphonia. We deliver the headline findings of George Rhodes’ research into the state of Accessibility in the public sector, and AbilityNet's Abi James provides the lowdown on public sector digital accessibility regulations and the current digital landscape. Finally, Simon Tew of Digit Music shares their brilliant adaptive controller for music composition - really groovy tech to help disabled users become potential pop stars. All this and more in this pre-TechShare Pro bonanza - plus lots of bonus content dropping later this week.
