It is not a certified legal transcript and is not entirely verbatim.</p><p>[Music]</p><p>Announcer: An AppleVis original.</p><p>[Transition sound]</p><p>Sarah Herrlinger: Part of our job is to work on making sure that everything that everyone makes at Apple is accessible. It's also about making sure that there's some really fun things to surprise and delight as many of the communities that we support as we can each year and finding new ways and new communities as we move along. I think this year hopefully, is going to be another fantastic year.</p><p>[Transition sound]</p><p>Dean Hudson: On the technical side of things and when you're buried in the year, just sorting out details and what features will do what and you kind of get sort of lost in the trees and coming out for Dub Dub DC sort of look back and say, "Wow, these are some great features. You sort of put things in a broader perspective.</p><p>[Transition sound]</p><p>Sarah Herrlinger: Our end goal is always to make sure that whether it is a young student being asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up," and saying, "I want to be an engineer." Or someone who is already an adult looking at going into developing. We want to make sure that there's a next generation of developers out there, that are members of the blind community.</p><p>[Music]</p><p>Dave Nason: Hello and welcome to AppleVis Extra, this is episode number 75 and we are still in WWDC week.

We did a pretty long podcast on Monday night after the keynote. But it was largely focused on kind of what we'd seen in the keynote, the mainstream stuff and so hopefully today we'll get a bit more information about what's changed for us in the accessibility space.</p><p>Thomas Domville: Absolutely.</p><p>[Transition sound]</p><p>Dave Nason: Sarah and Dean, thank you so much for joining us again. It's great to have you back.</p><p>Sarah Herrlinger: Well, it's so wonderful to be here.

Then, you can work together on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or iCloud.com.</p><p>When you create and share a folder in iCloud Drive, participants can access all the files in that folder. If you add a file to a shared folder, it's automatically shared with all participants, too. You can also add or remove participants, edit sharing permissions, or stop sharing a folder anytime.</p></blockquote>

<p>In this podcast, The Evil Chocolate Cookie gives us a demonstration of the <a href="https://www.tapwithus.com/">Tap Strap 2,</a> a single handed all-in-one wearable keyboard, mouse & air gesture controller.</p><blockquote><p>Tap is a wearable keyboard and mouse that enables you to type, mouse and control any Bluetooth enabled device, using any surface and in any position. Tap has accelerometers built into each finger ring, which register which fingers you are tapping and sending the associated letter, number, symbol, or macro to a paired Bluetooth device.</p><p>Tap is the only ergonomic solution that allows you to type in any position that is comfortable to your specific body without being bound to a desk. Tap’s design takes stress off your median nerve, allowing for hours of typing without strain. Tap also allows you to write without hunching forward, which causes posture problems as well as neck, shoulder and back pain.</p><p>Learning to Tap takes about 2 Hours – which is approximately 10 times faster than it takes to learn to QWERTY touch-typing. You learn to Tap using finger combinations, not key locations, making it usable in a variety of situations where you could not use a QWERTY. The fastest way to learn is by playing our free TapGenius Learning Game, which takes you through the Tap Alphabet using a series of fast, engaging challenges.</p></blockquote>
