How Brava is Making Cooking Accessible for Everyone
Manage episode 494798840 series 1914096
Steven and Shaun kick off the show with a humorous chat about beef ragu, inaccessible kitchen appliances, and the surprising availability of private chefs on Airbnb. The conversation transitions into a practical discussion on accessible cooking options, especially for blind users who face barriers with traditional stovetops.
The episode then highlights listener emails about printer accessibility, multi-function devices, braille signage in public spaces, and accessible audio playback apps. The team also responds to thoughtful feedback from Joel, who provides detailed advice for blind individuals interested in cybersecurity and Linux-based tools.
The main feature centers on an interview with Travis Ray and Zach Selman from Brava Home, who explain how the Brava Smart Oven uses infrared light for precise, multi-zone cooking. More importantly, they share their journey toward making Brava accessible via voiceover and talkback, with support from Lighthouse for the Blind. The oven can now be controlled almost entirely through an app, making it a powerful and accessible tool for independent cooking.
