Technology information and reviews

Find technology that fits the task, not just the product name

Explanations of software and hardware, independent product reviews and comparisons, accessibility features and AI tools. We start from the task or barrier, and help you understand what a tool does, who it may suit and where its limits are.

The same technology may suit one person and not another. So we explain what a tool is for, how it works in practice, and when it may not be the right choice.

  • Who might find it useful, and why
  • Limits, barriers and the learning curve
  • Cost and value, plus alternatives
