[Home-on-the-range] tap tap "c" and other I phone apps

[Dianne Hemphill]

Hi federationists - a question arose last week about the I phone app "tap tap "C" ...not sure the question was resolved...if not, a short article in this weeks (Feb. 11) Matilda Ziegler, by Alaina Roberts, talks about it and 2 other apps. There is a pod cast address provided allowing some tutorial training on access and use. This is a free app and I've heard others talk about its use. You simply take a picture of something, like your pantry and ask what's in it and there is a response telling you exactly what's there... a second app she reviews is called "braille touch" which is an app allowing the use of grade 1 braille in your communications rather than the print alphabet (also notes a pod cast address for further info). The third costs $20. and comes from the AFB called "access note". This app claims to be able to replace the options found on other expensive note takers used by the blind. Hope these are helpful. Also, some on going articles and opinions on guide dog training which I find very interesting. Enjoy! Dianne
