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 …
