Are you going to try the default Oliver because he’s a great voice

[@LowVisionUKTerrysView]

Thank you so much for this video. This is the first I have found that actually makes semnse to me. Thank you

[@jacolubbe9364]

Well done Carl, thank you for another voiceover video.

I like the fact that you can use Siri with voice over I myself have a vision impairment and I would use it all the time if I had an iPhone. With Android I would use Android accessibility

[@carldecamposblind524]

Larry Testut, thanks Larry, yes on Android under accessibility activate Talkback, which also works very well

Since the new update Siri will not read my sister voicemail out loud. My sister is blind and depends on Siri to read her voicemail for her but Siri keeps telling her she can’t do that. How can I fix this?

I just bought my father his first iPhone ever! He lost his sight around three years ago, and I'm hoping he'll get some use out of this. Could you mention some of the best apps to load on the phone before I give it to him?

Hello, my father got a new Iphone and he been having trouble answering a phone call and hanging up. Can someone help me. We've have trying using tape on the screen but that is not working very well.

[@carldecamposblind524]

Hi, it sounds like he would need to use voiceover. Enable voiceover by going to settings, General, Accessibility, Voice-over, and then turn voiceover on. Phone will be operated differently when using voice-over, he can touch anywhere on the screen to find an item, then lift and double-tap with one finger to open or activate, or he can swipe left or right with one finger until he hears the item he wants, and then double-tap with one finger to open or activate item. To answer your question, once voice-over is on, he can just double-tap anywhere on the screen with two fingers when the phone is ringing to answer the call, double tapping with two fingers while in the call, will end the call

But you have eyes!

[@carldecamposblind524]

Yes, I have normal looking eyes, my optical nerve and retinas are damaged, that’s why I can’t see

[@breajackson774]

Having no challenges in life is so boring sometimes I wish I was blind or deaf

[@nya4495]

Brea Jackson wtf is wrong with you ? You think blind people like this or wish this??

[@johnparedes6134]

Don't say that! There are a lot of challenges in life.

[@Ken-no5ip]

You could challenge yourself by volunteering to help disabled people
