[Nfb-krafters-korner] how the iphone can help with everything

[marianne]

I use KNFB Reader for reading and Tap Tap See when I want to identify a
canned good, package... I also have used it with some success in identifying
yarn colors. Lighting must be just right and I have to know some basic
information for the color identification to work. That would be a great
topic for Monday Night Chat. I think it is great to share our knowledge of
the iPhone. Terry P., do you have a braille display? A lot of people use a
braille display to help use any smart device.

What app do you use for reading and what do you use for bar codes?
Do you have a unlimited account.  I do not, right now, but might in the
future, when I find I am more efficiant and confident with the device!

Ah Catherine,

The more I learn, the more I want to learn. I purchase an IPhone 6s in July
so my husband and I could talk while he was away visiting friends for a
couple of weeks. I just can't believe how much fun I have with the phone. I
actually don't talk on the phone much, but there is an app out there for
absolutely anything you want to do.

I play lots of games on it. I check the weather where my friends and family
live. I scan my mail and read it. I check to see if lights are on or off. I
take pictures of things to know what they are. I scan barcodes on food
packages for info. I take a walk and get directions to anywhere I want to
go. I can find out how far I have walked and in what direction. I can
monitor how many minutes of exercise I have accomplished. I call a taxi and
get a ride. of course I could read books, go to websites, do my online
banking, refill prescriptions and listen to podcasts, but these last things
I choose not to do. I still and most comfortable with my PC.
   
 
Have a great day!!
Cathy F
