Presents

Apple iOS Products and the Blind User 

 

Instructor:  Mike Fish

 

Are Apple's iOS products really accessible for the blind user?  Have you
heard about the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?  Better yet, do you have one of
these devices?  Are you unsure how to use it, or wonder if a blind person
can really use a touch screen device?  Come to this seminar and learn how
to: 

 

*         Navigate a touch screen 

*         Type on an onscreen keyboard 

*         Use the voice over screen reader 

*         Find out what all the buzz is about Siri 

*         Learn how to find, download, and install applications from the app
store 

*         Learn what applications are accessible and find resources to make
the search for accessible applications easier 

*         Incorporate Braille with an iOS device (both typing and reading
Braille)

Who:  This workshop is designed for people who are blind or vision impaired
who own an iOS device and for those who will be teaching the use of these
devices.
