[New-York-News] Coming up Saturday: Braille Study Group, iPhone Chats for Beginner and Intermediate Users

[Chancey Fleet]

Hi everyone,
We had a great time last week continuing our iPhone chat for beginners and
launching our chat for intermediate users. Like the Braille study group,
these chats are less formal and more discussion-driven than a typical
workshop, and you can attend any Saturday you like (through the end of
February) without committing to be there every time. If you're not sure
which iPhone chat you fit into, feel free to tune into either or both, and
see what works for you. To give you an idea, last week's beginner group
talked about basic gestures, the Voiceover shortcut, strategies for when
Voiceover talks too much, and how to use the home screens and app switcher.
The intermediate group explored the Reminders app, shared recommendations
for using the Calendar more efficiently, talked about the pros and cons of
different headphones, and went over how to make custom gestures.
Below, here's how to join any or all of our Saturday workshops:

iPhone Voiceover Chat for Beginners

Register: iPhone Chat for Voiceover Beginners
Saturday January 15, 1:00 – 2:30 PM Eastern
If you’re new to using Voiceover on the iPhone or if you’re still working
toward confidence, this discussion group is for you. We’ll spend some time
going over the theory of how screen readers work, gestures everyone needs
to know, and some strategies for getting help. Then, we’ll open it up for
questions and networking. This event will take place online.
