[NFB-Seniors-Discussion] The Training covers both - RE: NFB Training Opportunity Upcoming Event: Learn about Smart Phone Accessibility Features

[Judy Jones]

'Mi bad, I did not see the Android inclusion last night.

The best training we have, although I would be glad to step in with any
demo, are our podcasts, along withother  Android podcasts by blind folks.

Each podcast features an accessible app demonstrated, a setting, then some
one talking about their Android Journey, what brought them to the Android
platform.  I gave my story in Episode 14.  Sometimes, the unboxing of a new
device is featured, and this can include phones on other operating systems,
like the KaiOS.

At any rate, here is the information.

you can listen to the latest episode and all previous episodes by visiting,
www.blindandroidusers.com or.

Miss Judy ... M O G Frowning face with one eyebrow raised... Did you read
the below notice of what was to be covered? Here is the key line:

3:30 p.m. ET to learn more about iOS and Android smart phone accessibility
features.

M O G Face half turned away, with up turned grin... Judy if you read the
notice, I'm hoping your question is not a statement of mistrust. 

Thought: You know what I would like to see? True- A call with someone like
you giving a demo of using your Android phone. Run it through several of the
accessible  features, using some of the general apps that the IOS person
uses everyday; Email program, texting, web browser, BARD, etc. It is sad to
say, but most of we IOS users have never touched an Android phone. Yeah, me
with my Polaris Mini notetaker, I do use a few Android apps, and like them.
So please, think about this as a proposal for you to setup a Zoom meeting,
or we arrange it ... some way. And I am not asking that this be a training
event, but a good strong demonstration.

Respectfully yours,
Robert Leslie Newman
