[Nfbktad] IPHONE ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES ...

[John Glisson]

Wonderful TAD Family!!!

 

As you every one took note that I personally do not have a clue about iphone
accessibility during the seminar on Friday, September 28, I do, however,
have a caring obligation to all of you to share as much as I possibly can
learn about it!!!

 

Besides all the fascinating aspects of access that all of you were so
graciously sharing among one another, I did have 2 disturbing issues brought
to my attention for which I do hope I have discovered a resource that can
help you.  I barely understood what was being told me about the latest
upgrade to the operating system, IO6 maybe .  Nevertheless the 2 issues are:
(1) a change in the iphone's background from black with crisp white
characters which was reported as being very accessible to those partially
sighted and used magnification to a background of white with black lettering
which was described as a big white glob . and (2) having to do with the
Newsline Ap as being different since the upgrade to IO6 and announcing
content  in a 'choppy' manner and failing to reveal the total content of an
article at times.

 

I have introduced the latter of these 2 issues to the National Newsline
Team, and the content manager sent me the following Apple iphone
accessibility toll free Technical Support number, because both issues could
stem also from Settings variations upon the new upgrade to the IO6.

 

I feel a little silly sharing this number, for everyone I encountered at the
TAD seminar are extremely proficient in their use of the iphone . But if you
don't know it or haven't used it, here it is!

 

apple does have a accessibility toll free number at 877 204 3930!!!

 

Thank you, and I truly enjoyed the convention this weekend and visiting with
all of you as we could .

 

Blessings .
