iPhones, iPads, Voice Over, Oh My! with Marsha - Wednesday, May 6, from 5PM to 6PM EDT.
Now that our world is geared toward smart devices as the everyday norm, how can we use iOS devices as blind individuals? That is exactly what this session is for: We will learn how to navigate the iPhone using Voice Over as a beginner. and we will explore some of the most commonly used built-in apps, like text messaging, apple mail, the calendar, facetime, contacts, notes, the App store, wi-fi, Bluetooth, Safari, Siri, and the health apps. Hosted by Marsha Drenth, Social Worker and Certified iOS device instructor.
