<br>
Produced by Speed Dots, our custom screen overlays<br>
provide guidance and facilitate navigation of touchscreen devices by
placing a single<br>
dot over each letter and control, making it easier than ever before for
blind and<br>
visually impaired individuals using the Voiceover screenreader to both
orient, as<br>
well as input text and access screen controls quickly and efficiently.
Our standard<br>
overlay contains a dot on each letter and input control while our
advanced overlay<br>
contains similar markings on buttons and input controls, however only the
letters<br>
F and J on the virtual keyboard will contain raised dots.<br><br>
Why use a tactile screen protector?<br><br>
While it is true that a blind or visually impaired person does not
require tactile feedback to use a touchscreen with voiceover, We have
discovered that placing single<br>
Braille dots in a few key locations on the<br>
screen can provide a noticeable increase in speed and productivity. If
you are new to the touchscreen environment, or dislike the fact that
there are no physical buttons<br>
on your phone, , then the tactile screen protector can offer both a
practical, and<br>
affordable solution for you!<br>
How And Why?<br>
While apple has done a great job making its touch screens fully
accessible to blind and visually impaired users, , simply placing raised
dots on the surface of the screen in a few key locations can help
individuals input text and information accurately and confidently! Apple,
along with many third-party<br>
developers typically place buttons in the same locations, which we are
subsequently able to mark with a small, raised Braille dot. These tiny
dots can be easily felt,<br>
but in no way obstruct a sighted person's view of the screen as our
screen protectors are clear. This makes it easy for you to share your
phone with sighted friends, colleagues, family members, etc., without
interfering with the phone's operation<br>
Below is a list of the dots and what they represent:<br>
Top Left: back/ cancel<br>
Top Right: ok /done<br>
Top Center: search/heading/Safari address bar<br>
Center of Screen: number 5 on the phone pad.<br>
Middle Right: send button for text messages<br>
Across the Bottom: 5 evenly spaced dots representing soft key
functions.<br>
Lower Left: Shift<br>
Lower right: Delete/Backspace<br>
Virtual Keyboard (Standard): Each letter is marked with a single dot,
with the exception of letters F and J, which are blank and contain no
dots. Many users like this layout,<br>
as frequently, the dots can be used to represent other points of
reference when the keyboard is not enabled.<br>
Virtual Keyboard (Advanced): This configuration contains dots on the
letters F and J *ONLY*. Users also like this configuration because it is
less cluttered, yet still<br>
provides the ability to orient to the center row of keys quickly while
typing.<br>
Note: Both keyboard options are available. Please be sure to select the
correct product when placing your order.<br>
