In this episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun discuss their experiences with accessible technology, focusing on InnoSearch, an online shopping platform designed for blind people. 

Steven talks about his experience of shopping for iPhone cases, the implications for Amazon Prime subscriptions, and the potential of AI to enhance shopping experiences. 

The main conversation today focuses on Braille embossing, featuring regular guest and friend of the show, Tim Dixon, who shares his journey with Braille embossers and the importance of accessibility in technology. They discuss the intricacies of using Braille embossers, particularly focusing on the setup process, user experiences, and the technology behind Index Braille, a leader in this field.
