Yo-yo-ho-ho podcasts! Next week I'll be meeting Joe Cornish to record our annual Christmas

podcast and as usual we'd like to include a few contributions from you. The address for

submissions is Adam Bucksdon podcast at gmail.com. You'll also find that address on my website

www.AdamDashBucksdon.co.uk. A few things to bear in mind that'll really help us out before

you start emailing. One, please make the subject header of your emails Adam and Joe Christmas 2022,

followed by a description of the contents, for example, made up joke, egg corn,

travelling tale or superb anecdote. Two, no personal or work related messages please, just things

that will delight me, Joe and your fellow listeners on Christmas morning and please remember that whatever

you send us might be made public. Three, please keep it short, just a few lines ideally we won't have

time to read long messages or listen to long audio clips I'm sorry. Four, the deadline for contributions

is Tuesday December the 6th at midnight. Joe and I look forward to hearing from you. Ho ho, thanks

by! This podcast is sponsored by Haley On and they're always read the label even if you can't campaign.

Hello Adam Bucksdon here reporting from my local supermarket and I am using an app called

Microsoft Seeing AI. Among other things it reads out the information on packaging when I point

the camera at the product, or Scanabaco. There are an estimated 10 million people in the UK who may

have difficulty reading the labels of products due to sight loss or low literacy so this app can

make their lives a little bit easier. As I'm over 50 I'm thinking of buying some multi-vitamins.

I like the colours on this box so I'll just point my camera over here and see what I'm getting.

Processing, centering that old 50 plus 180 tablets easy to someone. Okay thank you Seeing AI, you get

the idea. Now Haley On, the company that makes those vitamins and other healthcare products,

have teamed up with Microsoft who make Seeing AI to ensure that all the barcodes on their

products are readable by the app to help make everyday healthcare accessible to everyone.
