They also dive into the inbox which covers assistive listening devices for those with hearing loss, the challenges of social interactions, and the pros and cons of smart locks for home security.
Emails also touch on privacy concerns with voice assistants, navigating dialog boxes with JAWS, innovative solutions for winter safety, the evolution of audiobooks, and the connection between narrators and listeners.
