Alex will discuss an overview of what iOS can offer blind people: on-screen braille input, reading Bard/Bookshare/Learning Ally books, using Siri, bar code reading, GPS navigation/turn by turn directions, entertainment (described content in iTunes and Netflix), social networking/email, word processing, audio/accessible gaming, OCR, dictation, and low vision features. If there's a braille display available, I'll demonstrate its use with VoiceOver as well.Next, Alex touch on a few key areas: braille, books, navigation, note taking, low vision enhancements, and OCR.Alex will also review the basic VoiceOver gestures and key features, to make sure participants all on the same page before moving to the interactive demo portion.For those features that all devices have (i.e. that don't rely on an app being installed), there will be group sessions and participants will practice enabling and using the features. Features will include on-screen braille, video magnifier (for those with iOS10), VO practice mode, and anything other features as recommended.Finally, Q&A. Apps people want to see (if I have them), tasks I didn't cover, whether an iOS device is best for a given area, if there's an app for this or that, and anything else people want to know. |
