[Nfbktad] IPHONE ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES ...

[Todd S]

Thank you much, Melanie. Firstly, I want to thank each and every one of you
for your vote of confidence. I'm looking forward to rolling up my sleeves
and getting down to business. I'm really excited about working with fellow
TAD board members, as well as collaborating with our At-Large members.

Sandra Williams and I had a very nice discussion this morning. We both feel
very strongly about the words that Pam Allen spoke with regard to Telling,
Showing, and Involving. Involving is essential to the synergy need to
advance this division. I firmly believe that Each and every one of you is
important to TAD. Stay tuned for some exciting things in 2012-2013. We're
going to do this and we're going to do it well!!

Please don't hesitate to get in contact. My sincerest thanks to all of you.

 

Warm Regards,

Hello Mr. Glisson & all,

Thank you for this resource. I was also not aware of its existence! I have
put it in my phone and I'll be sure to use it as needed. I'd also like to
congratulate our new TAD president, Todd Stevens. I'm very much looking
forward to your leadership and will do my best to assist you in whatever way
I can. It was a wonderful convention and I love how energized I always feel
afterward. Onward & upward, friends!

Melanie

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 .

 

John g.
