Big Clock

he Coding Monkeys’ Big Clock HD app is a must for visually impaired travelers. Just double tap to rotate iPad orientation to landscape view and set it atop a hotel room TV or table. You’ll be able to read it with a glance while lying in bed. The clock displays time and date in the region format and language the device is set to. The app prevents devices from auto-locking when displaying the time.

Making the iPhone camera accessible for the blind.

Accessibility, Apple

When it comes to accessibility on mobile devices, some will look at the camera and immediately scratch it off the to-do list. Others will look at the camera and ask what can be done.

Someone who can’t see may still want to share photos with family, friends, and connections who can. That’s why offering a Camera app that’s accessible to those with limited or no vision is so important. Everyone should have the option of taking pictures of the people and places that matter to them. And yes, in the age of social media, everyone should have the option of taking a selfie. That’s the essence of inclusivity.

If you’re interested in Learning how the iphone camera works with voiceover enabled. Take a good listen to this article it will help you get started.

Easily share your WiFi with friends on iOS 11

Apple

iOS 11 includes many automatic features regarding first-time setup and account login. This extends to WiFi networks too. If a friend comes over with an iPhone running iOS 11, you can automatically log them in to your WiFi in one tap.The UI looks like the AirPods pairing process. When the WiFi password screen pops up on the new device, other nearby iOS devices that are already on the network will try to help … 

Using a iPad and iPhone as an example.

With iOS 11 installed on both, attempting to join the WiFi network on the iPhone displays the password field as normal.

Then, if you bring the iPhone ‘nearby’ to the iPad, the iPad will display a pop-up card that says an iPhone is trying to join the network.

With a single button tap, you can send the WiFi password over-the-air to the phone. After a short delay, the iPhone password field will be populated on the iPhone and it will be instantly connected to the network.
This new flow means you don’t have to go find the WiFi password on the back of the router anymore. Just tell your guests to tap on the network name and accept them with a tap on your personal device. The only two requirements is that the iPad/iPhone that knows the password must be nearby Bluetooth must be on both devices.and unlocked.

It’s a small thing that you will only use a few times yourself, and then occasionally when new friends come over with iPhones or iPads.

VoiceOver for iOS: The Rotor By David Nason 

Accessibility, Apple, Apps, Blind, blind people

VoiceOver is a screen-reader used primarily by blind and visually impaired iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad users. The rotor is a very important part of VoiceOver, giving quick access to some settings and allowing effective navigation of text etc. It is accessed by placing two fingers on the screen and rotating them clockwise or anti-clockwise to cycle through the options, then swiping up or down with one finger to make your selection. It’s a very simple and effective tool. For more information about accessibility on Apple devices I recommend visiting http://www.apple.com/accessibility or the user forum http://www.applevis.com. Developers can find out more about how to make their apps more accessible in the Apple developer portal, and please do engage with VoiceOver users too! Follow me on Twitter @davidnason1
