[Ohio-talk] As I speak ... FW: The November Issue of AccessWorld Is Now Available

Mon Nov 16 19:32:23 UTC 2015

Hi all,

It turns out the November issue went live today, so I am sending you the
announcement with all its live links.

Students and teachers will want to read the article about Learning Ally's
new College Success program, and everyone will probably want to read the
holiday gift piece 

Finally, I'm forwarding it because my Colleague's article on 64OZ games is
here.

Happy reading!

Deborah

iOS shopping apps make it especially convenient to do holiday shopping
anywhere. There's no need for a computer--just get your device and start
shopping. This article reviews the Amazon mobile app, the Apple Store app,
and RetailMeNot. The first two apps have items for sale while RetailMeNot
provides discount codes and coupons for a wide variety of retailers.

Recently, Apple released iOS 9, a new operating system for iPhone, iPad, and
iPod touch. This new system provides VoiceOver accessibility improvements
along with other general improvements. There isn't a downside to upgrading.

There is a new player in the video assistance arena called CrowdViz, and
like Be My Eyes it is currently only available in the iOS App Store, though
an Android version is also in the works. Unlike Be My Eyes, however, after
eight complimentary video assistance sessions, new sessions must be paid for
via in-app purchase.

sitecues, a tool developed by ZoomText maker Ai Squared, seeks to make the
web easier to read for users who could benefit from text magnification or

As you prepare to spend time with those you care about this holiday season,
why not visit 64 Oz. Games and purchase some accessibility kits for games
that you and yours can play together. It is evident that Richard and Emily
Gibbs have a lot of energy and enthusiasm for what they do, and they have
only just gotten started making accessibility kits for games that the blind
and sighted can play together. Let's give them our support!
