We’re excited to share that Alan Tower was recently interviewed by UCB to give his perspective on the fascinating AI-powered trial taking place at Bristol Temple Meads railway station!
The innovative trial aims to enable people using audio devices such as Bluetooth earphones, headphones and hearing aids to receive real-time audio translations of announcements made over the station’s tannoy system.
Alongside discussing this exciting development, Alan also had the opportunity to talk more broadly about the work and role of Friends International.
An approximately three-minute segment of the interview aired on the morning of Monday 10th August, and the full interview is now available on the UCB app, UCB Player, together with an outline of the discussion.
The audio-only version is also available via UCB’s basic web player:
We hope you enjoy listening to this engaging interview and hearing Alan’s thoughts on this exciting development in AI, accessibility and communication!
