[nabs-l] IPod touches

Sun Nov 13 16:44:50 UTC 2011

Hi Nimer,

Oh no, not Talkback! That's why I like VoiceOver; TalkBack only 
reads certain things, where VoiceOver is more like JAWS, in that 
it reads everything unless something isn't accessible.  Please 
tell me you're using MobileSpeak or Mobile Accessibility or one 
of those Code Factory screen readers for Android!

Chris

Go Android!! Oh, sorry.  I'll refrain now.  Anyway, I teach the 
iTouch
and it is pretty easy to learn and use.  I'm' not so keen on IOS5 
at
the moment though ...

Thanks.

 I agree when it comes to wanting more than just music.  I 
already have a
 Victor Streem and a Milestone, so I'm fine in the music 
department.  My
 main reason for wanting one is because I've heard that there are 
a lot of
 useful aps for it.  Plus, the idea of having internet on 
something way
 smaller than a computer without having to pay a data plan like 
you do on a
 phone is pretty nice.

 I looooooooooove my iPod touch.  I can't get enogh of it.  The 
App store
 is easy to use and the tabs are right there, so I just type in 
what I
 want and it brings up the results.  I like doing more with my 
iPod than
 just listen to music.

 Hey Sam, haven't actually followed this thread I admit, but this
 subject line interested me :)
 Another cool thing about the touch is the ability to pair a 
bluetooth
 keyboard up to it and use that to input commands and things if 
you are
 not comfortable with typing on a touch screen.  I will admit 
that I was
 not comfortable with that at first, and am still really not.  
But I've
 gotten used to it, somewhat.  I'm actually using the braillenote 
that i
 own to type into here now, :)
 which counts as a keyboard/braille display.
 Best,
 Josh

 Sam,
 I have a Nano, slightly different from a Touch.  VoiceOver is 
actually
 really easy to learn.  Once you get used to the idea of a touch 
screen,
 it's fairly straightforward: Tap once to hear the name of 
something,
 tap twice to activate it.  Hope this helps.

 Hello all.  I went to the store today to look at the IPod touch.  
I'm most
 likely going to get one, but I wanted to get feedback from 
others who
 have used voice over on them first.  Since we are all students, 
I'm
 guessing most of us are pretty familiar with our technology.  
So, I was
 wondering if any of you had used one, and what you thought when 
it came
 to how hard it was to learn and how useful you found it.
 Sam
