The 11th EBU Access Cast.

Welcome to the 11th EBU Access Cast. This time we have a special episode on Sight City 2019 and we talk about all interesting techy goodies we saw at the conference. At the beginning of the episode you can listen to the interviews which Mario and Tanja prepared, and then after Mario, Tanja, Bart and our special guest Paweł Masarczyk who is a well-known podcaster from Poland in the Tyflopodcast discuss all about the things they saw at the Sight City.

Another cool thing which we mentioned in the later section of the podcast which we saw was the washing machine that has buttons with tactile markings. The buttons are also touch sensitive and touching them will produce a sound to distinguish the number of the turns in the spin cycle or the desired temperature in a predefined program. The washing machine is designed to be accessible to visually impaired and it is manufactured by Miele. Miele started to make home appliances with universal design in mind since 2007, and on the next link you can read more information about it.

Pawel saw also an interesting product from Italy called FelixPhone, which is bringing another adopted smartphone for blind people, Mediavoice - Speaky Facile, the device which connects thru your smart TV, and Bruno, the reading Machine for low vision and blind people.

Last year EBU Access Cast was launched on the Global Accessibility Awareness Day. Therefore at the end of this episode we tell you why
this day is important for our community and we are sharing with you a short but very informative article about it.

We hope that this episode was interesting to you and that we were able to bring at least a small piece of many different things which were possible to see and experience on this years Sight City. As always you are free to leave us the comments and the suggestions on our e-mail and Twitter and we're looking forward to be back with you in June.
