Forwarding the AccessWorld holiday gift guide edition, which has all kinds
of gift suggestions for blind people.

 

Someone on Electronics-talk was asking about talking microwaves recently,
and they’re briefly mentioned, along with overlays for appliances, in the
first article on kitchen gadgets.

The Holidays are a time of celebration, gift giving and perhaps just a few
too many holiday treats. In this article I’ll combine the treats and the
gift giving and offer a shopping list of a baker’s dozen handy kitchen
gadgets and accessories for the vision impaired chef on your Holiday list.
Or maybe you’ll just want to treat yourself!

Amazon.com is the clear winner in my opinion. It is the most accessible app
in this article. Their enormous inventory makes it easy to do a lot, if not
all, your shopping on one website. Bed Bath & Beyond comes in second. They
offer a wide variety of products. Their live help is a plus. PetSmart is a
distant third. The lack of VoiceOver feedback when filling out forms and the
fact that the button for choosing pickup or shipping isn’t accessible
presents significant accessibility issues.

 

*	The New eSight 4 Wearable

The eSight 4 is one of a number of wearables for users with low vision, that
are worn like glasses, or goggles, essentially putting a video magnifier
right on your nose. Look across the room, out the window, at a book, adjust
the magnification, and you have a device that magnifies what you’re looking
at, and under the best of circumstances makes it easier to see.

The release of iOS 14 and iPad os 14 has brought many significant additions
in the form of both mainstream and accessibility features. In this article,
we guide you through the new operating system, highlighting the new
mainstream and access features of interest to people with vision loss.
