• Apple has unveiled new accessibility features coming later in the year. For podcasting, we gained transcripts in Mar 2024, but live captions for other apps will be available with more languages, Live Listen will add captions on a connected Apple Watch, the Personal Voice voice cloning system becomes more natural and quicker to train; a new magnifier app makes it easier to see the screen; and accessibility labels will be visible in the Apple App Store.
• An interesting data point as part of some work by Westwood One - 85% of Americans commute to work, but ad buyers are not like the rest of us - the advertising industry only commutes into work 4.2 times a week, rather than the average American who commutes 4.7 times a week. Friday is lowest for everyone. (One for you if you release on Fridays?)
