Event Details

The VoiceOver screen reader gives users auditory descriptions of what is on the screen of their Apple devices. The feature is designed to increase accessibility for blind and low-vision users, as well as for users with Dyslexia.

Please bring your Apple device  for more hands-on experience.

Technology has made world smaller for everyone, and for people who are blind or have low vision, technology has made the world more equal. Even 10 years ago, a blind person could not use a cell phone or computer without a special software. But now anyone can use most smart phone and tablet right out of box!

In this workshop, we will discuss the built-in accessibility features of iPhone/iPad for people who are blind or have low vision.

  1. Where can we find accessibility features?
  2. What is Zoom? How do we use it?
  3. What is Voiceover? How do we use it?
  4. Is Voiceover the same as Siri?

 

Would you like to learn more? 1-on-1 sessions are available for you at the Braille Institute.
