I use my iPhone with voiceover for just about everything, and I have one of those Plantronics headsets like Pablo has. I bought my first computer earlier this year. It’s an 11 inch laptop, and I use narrator as my screen reader of choice. I tried to learn Jaws a couple years ago and I really struggled with it, but I’ve had really good luck with narrator so far.

I love the video, thank you for sharing !!

Love this video. I have: a laptop with NVDA (and JAWS 40 min demo for backup), an iPhone with VoiceOver (my whole family uses iOS devices lol), a QBraille XL display (yes I am a really heavy braille reader and find myself much more productive using a computer with it), and I also currently have a braille notetaker on loan. I'm definitely investigating apps like Seeing AI or Envision AI for recognizing objects or OCR etc as I move into college and beyond. I also love Alexa especially for checking the time. I also use bluetooth headphones but that's mainly because I had issues with my wired ones breaking and I mainly use them for music purposes or just listening to stuff.

I use my iPhone for checking and responding to email, getting help from aira, and i also use my iPhone for connecting to be my eyes, and i also use my iPhone for typing out text messages, and for my videos

Really helpfull Thank you so much...

Bluetooth headphones are good when using TalkBack to voice over because when you're in a room with those people you don't interrupt using voice over you are the only one that can hear it with your headphones.

You do such a great job introducing in explaining these things. Definitely the best channel for this information. Keep up the great work

This is awesome!! So much to check out!! I may have to get that keyboard that can hook up to your smartphones 😉 And I have the lg tone headphones as well, love them!

Thanks Madam Carie for excellent videos. I was always using magnifier on my phone.First time came to know about WE ZOOM App thriough your video I downliaded it and really like it.Now using the same.All the best .Take care .Thank you

Nice video. I really enjoyed. Basically we use the same technology. Continue with your great job. 👍

I’m not Blind I just love your videos

Hey Carrie⭐️. I absolutely love your video. I have Albinism and I use the Braillenote Touch, IPhone and KNFB Reader.

Hello Carry. I recently discovered your Live Accessible channel and absolutely love the content. I wonder if you have done a video on Gmail, because I am new to Android and would like to learn how to handle messages using a keyboard. Wishing you and your family continuous success and happiness.

Hi I am blind and I also use a bluetooth earphone, Google assistant and a screen reader your channel is very interesting.

My favorite bluetooth headphones are Anker Spirit X with a hook over each ear.

Awesome video Carrie I use my iPhone sometimes my Apple Watch and my Mac and now you got me thinking how I should film my tech video

Hi Carrie Great video x Wow so much tec to learn about I don't know if these are accessible to me living in England.

🎣 hey Karey, wow, there is just so much technology out there. I am hesitant to share all this information with my sighted counterparts because they will assume that I know how to use all of this awesome technology. I truly use my iPhone 8 more than anything and have other devices around the house like Alexa of course, three talking thermostats, a barcode scanner that works very well and, oh yes, clickers for our garage doors. LOL I have some smart bulbs and some smart plugs and last but not least a talking scale which I avoid like the plague. This was really a great video and another great resource because when I personally, want to know how to do something and I am ready to look at other devices, I can go to your videos specifically. Thank you so much for giving us this awesome information

I use most of these also. We haven't made it to the smart home items like lightbulbs or echo yet. They are definitely in the near future though.

Great information. Curious, do you guys use any of the connected television platforms? E.g. FireTV, AppleTV, AndroidTV, Roku, etc? What is your accessibility experience with said devices?

What program do you suggest for reading emails on the computer. I am blind and my wife has to check the computer for me. I cannot see the screen only shadows. I use the LG tone headphones and like them . I have just started listening to your KZfaq channel so happy my wife found it, very informative. Thank you

I wonder if the LG Tone headset you have pairs with an iphone? I like that particular design and that the earbuds are retractable. I'm more of a noise blocking full covering ear pads kind of person, but I also prefer behind the neck where they can stay there whether up on your ears or down like a necklace almost. The sleekness is what sound nice if they are good sound in phone calls and with music. I finally got replacement pads for my favorite old motorola headset. I think it's over ten years old, maybe fourteen! Nothing beats it's sound. I just need something a little sturdier for out and about. Preserving the indoor life of my good old HT820's.

Well I'm use my smartphone a lot especially for my online work and the phone I use is Nokia c 2 and I use a magnifier option on my phone but I can't use Talkback

Here is a bluetooth headset that uses bone conduction. They are called AfterShokz they also have a wired version. I remember seeing a girl wearing them as she was heading to the library crossing the street here in Colorado Springs. There have been other products that use bone conduction like in AR glasses and the like.

I have a blue focus 14 braille display from Freedom Scientific. And a company called a can connect purchased it for me the company is for people who are both deaf blind. And I got the braille display because I cannot see I am blind so that means I cannot see print and I have it linked up to my iPhone and I can also link it up to my iPad. And then I also have a Braille note touch 32+ note taker. You can take notes, do emails, search, watch KZfaq, it has Kane FB reader on there, I can do a lot and that is from HUMAN WARE. And I can connect purchased that for me also and came to Tampa where I live to train me on both. And I love them both. I got them both at the same time but I wanted to train on one before I trained on the other and the guy who trained me is totally deaf and totally blind. And he trained me on both of them and they have been a great tool in my toolbox.

Are use the headphones, where they go over your ear, like on your ear bone. Not on your actual ear, or in your ear. And I love them. My dad says they’re the best headphones for me. Since I have to wear a hearing aid.

The smartphone really is a jack of all trades type of assistive technology device. However I do agree with you that the smartphone can’t do everything and we still need to use computers every now and then.

5:20 I use the LIFX smart bulbs. These are great and they change color. The only drawback with them is that setting them up can be very difficult and if you have some vision and you have to have your fonts on your phone in large format you can't see everything on the screen and you can't click all of the buttons while setting up a smart light? The nice thing about these LIFX bulbs is you don't need a hub and your Alexa or other smart speakers can operate them. 7:21 I miss the "physical" keyboard on my old smartphones? I loved those better than the small touch screens. Some touch screen features are very nice but not all of them beat the physical keyboard and the physical arrow buttons when you want to put your cursor in a certain area of your text field. Unfortunately, technology companies don't always think about "ACCESSIBILITY"? 7:53 The thing is that if you wear a Bluetooth headset like the LG Tone motels and you need to use that physical keyboard they both will not work together? Either phones need to be designed to work with two different Bluetooth devices or the keyboard be designed to pair with the phone and automatically pair with the headset? 9:35 I personally use the Windows magnifier where I just hit the Windows key and the plus or minus keys to enlarge the screen so the entire screen is much bigger than what would fit within the screen making you have to scroll to find things. There are some advantages of having your screen bigger but there are some disadvantages like when something pops up and it is not within the window where you can see it?

Nice background .

As a visually impaired individuals the most technology that I use most of is my phone I also can use my phone as a magnifier of it comes in handy for everyday tasks

Turn off accessibility feature on my phoné.On by mistakee

Any more tech and you and your family will all be cyborgs. LOL Nice to know about all these other things I did not even think about. Like the keyboard since I became visually impaired I have really gotten to know what keyboard very well. Still not a pro though. Hahaha I want to be able to write stories again it's a hobby I have missed terribly. Dictation is just not good enough to do it alone. so I am trying to practice learning my keyboard. I was never a fast typer on a keyboard I was always one of those people even when I had my full vision that typed put two fingers in each hand. Great video once again Carrie.

my computer is my favorite device 😂

Natal reader App it is Free you can use it

Hi Kerry it’s me again I love talking to you on KZfaq and you’re a big inspiration to me intense attack I need a bit of advice from you about not to touch typing are you see learn here in primary school how to touch type I can’t you know the basics of knowing what the keyboard looks like but it’s knowing about other keys on the keyboard I don’t know whether you could do a video based on touch typing or whether Pablo will be happy to do something with you or whether you can do something live on zoom I’m not sure I’m trying to reach out to people that can support me and I thought of you

I want to help my brother

I'm so old school and not tech savvy at all. Technology scares me lol

Please try Louis voice

How can I find someone's butt talk back in my phone I needed to be able to hear people talk
