Hey everyone!
What are the most useful apps to use when you are blind or are visually impaired?
Today I’m doing a video on Apps and specifically Apps that I use as someone with a visual impairment/disability. I talk about Apps that I use that make my life easier and how I use an iPhone with accessible features. I talk about Apps that help me with traveling, reading, writing, shopping and other tasks.
If you enjoy my content and want to support me feel free to buy me a coffee: ko-fi.com/A2587HJ
Are there any apps that I didn't mention that you want to add?

hi, can these, or any other apps be used offline? my dad has itouch but refuses to get wifi, he has internet through broadband so he can get online, but im looking for something he can use at home and out and about that do not require internet

Zoom and magnifier on my iPhone are my main 2 features that I use. The camera can see better in dark or low light places so if I have to find something quickly or drop something I turn on the camera feature since my peripheral vision isn’t the best. Kindle app is great because I can comfortably read with bigger font and night/dark mode turned on. Black text against a white background hurts my eyes too much.

Hi! Are you familiar with the app called Be My Eyes? It is an app that will connect you to a cited individual and they can see through your camera to assist you with whatever you might need. For example, I use it a lot when I drop something and I can’t find it on the floor.

I still have trouble finding apps for my wrists problems other than the same voice text I’m glad you showed this because I was a bit outdated on assisted technology. Last I remembered was Jaws.

Great video! Like the phone screen inserts on the right. Magnifier on iPhone is also good, and Google Maps can give you directions (use with headphones). Smartphones have made life with a VI much easier.

Hi Emily, I am in the US and use a Samsung Android phone. One app I use to help with font sizes is called Big Font. You can also add custom sizes too. I also love Audible for reading books. Thanks for the great video.

What's great about the iPhone you can use voice over and also on the iPhone accessibility feature is built right in so you can turn voiceover on the iPhone out of the box and you can even tell Siri to turn on and off voice over

I didn't even know that Wetherspoons had an app. 🙈🙈 I must ask though, how did you scan that barcode so quickly? I can never find it so give up most of the time. I use iDentifi on a regular basis. It's an app that if you take or inport pictures, it tells you what it is, and if there's text in the picture, you can change it to read text. What's your favourite game to play? I use the overdrive quite regularly also.

Next time you get asked about reading or typing ask them if they’ve heard of screen readers like jaws. When I got my sony phone the guy well meaning set it to talk. I don’t really need it so we told it to shut up.
