[Trainer-talk] Sighted Assistance for Computer Set-uP

[Casey Mathews]

I generally use 2 apps on my iPhone. I will use Goggles in real-time video
mode to dynamically OCR the screen.
The other one I will use is text detective, and last resort I'll use
TapTapSee.

Angela,
That's definitely a good thought. I'm not sure if they are available in my
area, but I'll give them and other similar services another look, as it
would be perfect for a situation like this.

Best regards,
J.J.
