This January, AFB's Darren Burton, director of our AFB Tech labs in Huntington, WV, will be appearing on ACB Reports, the American Council of the Blind Radio Show hosted by Mike Duke. Darren will discuss AFB's app development work, including the AccessNote notetaker app and the AccessWorld magazine app, as well as our other app testing and development work being done at our AFB Tech labs.

AccessNote has now been purchased by over 1000 people, and we just released version 1.2, which includes many bug fixes and several enhancements. The Find function has been completely redesigned to be more streamlined, and by popular request, it's now possible to import BRF files without changing the extension. We are now investigating an android version of AccessNote, and we are also updating the AccessWorld app to include a search tool.

Stay tuned for an announcement when Darren appears on ACB Reports next month and, of course, for more great work for people who are blind or visually impaired coming out of AFB Tech!
