[nabs-l] iphone problem

Sat Oct 13 23:54:20 UTC 2012

I will be getting an iphone as soon as possable. I love my android, but i like touch screens better, on top of that, the iphone addresses blindness and autusm. I am both blind and autistic. I can see larg print, and read braille. I was taught 2 read grades 1, 2, 3, and braille muic. it depends on what i am doing, wether or not i use braille, large print or voice. for the iphone, i would use voiceover and the zoom feeture. and the auttism apps.

I rarely send lengthy emails from my phone--I do that with my Apex--but for texts or brief emails, I can type on the touch screen pretty accurately and quickly. Like many, I was reluctant to get an iPhone because the touch screen threw me off. But now, I believe that taking that leap of faith was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life.
