Vispero Connect: June 2026 — Product Updates, Agentic AI, And the Corporate Side Of Accessibility

We're not just going to look at the guidelines and checkboxes, but we're also going to look at the usability because we understand the impact to our community of users, which includes me.

Matt Ader discusses Vispero's approach to accessibility.

All you need to do is whisper into the machine.

Mohamed Lachir introduces Agentic AI, here on Vispero Connect for June 2026.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Vispero Connect, a new series of podcasts from Vispero.

I'm Oleg Shevkin, and I think right now it's a good time to tell you what's new and what is still the same.

First of all, it's the same company, the same people.

We'll be talking about the same product.

Not quite.

We'll be talking about developed products and developing products and soon-to-be-developed products.

We will be featuring interviews with people behind the products, in development, in product management, in testing, in technical support and training, and other areas of the company.

We will also be featuring interviews from people in the blindness and low vision community.

So those things remain the same.

By the way, if you were subscribed to FScast, you may have seen that the feed name has changed, but you are still subscribed and you're still getting those episodes as they are released.

So that's pretty much what's the same.

Now, what's new? That's, of course, the name of the podcast, Vispero Connect.

That means we do want to connect with you.

And the logo of the podcast has changed.

The intros and outros of the podcast have also changed.

You've heard some of that.

You'll hear some more of this later in this episode.

Now, another thing that has changed is the address that you use to contact us.

The new address to reach us is connect at the sparrow.com. Once again, that address is connect at the sparrow.com. And I'm still wondering who will send the first email to this address.
