hi, do you know of any apps that dont require wifi? my dad wont get wifi, or a cell phone but has an itouch. im looking for an app he can use on the itough that doesnt require wifi, that he can use and it will tell him what color things are?

[@user-wx5cj2de4y]

I need to find out someone that can put TalkBack in my phone in English

[@user-wx5cj2de4y]

Because I cannot read and write

[@TTV_Vela600]

It's really amazing what you do for the comunity. I'm a UX UI Designer and I'm digging deeper into the Accessibility world and it is fascinating what it needs to be done even before definition phase of any project. We Designers, Developers can do much more for a higher sale of people that sometimes we naively think might use our digital platforms and services, thank you, this is really helpful and trully inspiring.

[@LiveAccessible]

Hi Fernando. Thank you so much for your comment. I hope the video was helpful and I'm glad there are more people who are taking accessibility seriously! It is so incredibly important. All the best and thank you for your work, Carrie.

[@jane_d7809]

Same here. I am a UI/UX designer designing an app with a focus on accessibility. Am doing a research on how they relate with smartphones.

[@loveworksnoevil]

Yea I'm reconfiguring my app for such, the actually system is not that good, I can't even find out how to swipe home screen with it on.

[@chrisfitzchrisfitz5182]

Every single app designer should have a team of folks who use these access tools on the regular basis to test drive each app as it’s being developed - and, I would also add pay those folks rather than asking for street volunteers-we have got to get away from that model! Our voice is just as good as anybody else’s voice, and it should be honored!

i am a web and app developer, i wanted to create web applications to help blind and deaf people to make their lives easier.I just started my project and while looking for reference applications, this video came up.Thank u for the app suggestions.This was really helpful.

Great video with quite detailed coverage of useful applications. Thank you for sharing this information about the applications.

[@MrMagoo-wp7pq]

That's another great video. Thank you for doing these. I've had wezoom on my phone, but hardly used it until I watched your new video on it, and I can't believe how great it is. It was actually you who also mentioned lookout, and how good it was that caused me to download it. Envision is great, but I think lookout is better for my personal need. I've been using bard for about a year, do yes on that one too. I love that you can speed up the reading, which makes almost every book better, imo. This list is spot on. Thanks.

[@LiveAccessible]

Thanks Bill! I just love the wezoom app. It's my favorite, it I probably should have put it as number 1. lol. Envision is good, but precy. I hope to do a video on the new ennvision glasses in the future. 😊 But I'm glad I could share!

[@timharry5168]

Thank you for sharing the information. This is good.

[@josephwatson3706]

Thank you so much for taking the time to put this information out there for the blind and visually impaired. I really appreciate it. I've had Central serious retinopathy for about 28 years. Most people get these little bubbles in one eye and most commonly they resolve themselves. It's rare to get it in both, rarer for them not to resolve. Unfortunately they encroached my center line of vision and it's still difficult to accept losing that Independence that goes along with vision. I think it was about a year and a half ago that I had decided I needed to stop driving. No pity party though. Not that I'm happy about it but.... I feel fortunate and grateful that I have revision I do. I don't know if you're familiar with it but it affects our somewhat widespread having to do with too much light, not enough light, corrective lens don't do anything for it as it is a distortion somewhat like looking through a glass filled with water. Some of my most favorite things to do is fixing things, remodeling, building things, it doesn't matter what. Anything from a house to metal fabrication on a custom car. So I do a lot with or I should say by feel now. I'm actually looking for the best phone, probably Android that may have a larger screen and I'm not really sure. This condition seems to be progressing so I'm just gathering information right now. Actually interestingly enough, I'm able to just barely make out text in messenger or regular text on a good day. On a bad day, they would need to be in capital letters and sentences double spaced. I think I need to find some app that is easy to use as far as magnifying and making the print bold. A bigger screen. Oh anyway I was talking about interestingly enough, I graduated to reading glasses of 3.75 which without them I am unable to make out anything on the screen. Sorry for battling. I just wanted to mainly thank you for having your KZbin channel and putting out such valuable information to so very many people. Thank you very much. Joseph watson, Dearborn michigan.

[@LiveAccessible]

Hi Joseph! I'm so glad that you were able to find this video and I am so sorry that you are going through this. It can definitely be such a difficult journey, but many of us have gone through it and you will grow stronger, friend. It will get better. You are strong enough to overcome it and continue to live the life you want. My dad is totally blind and has been so since his late teens. But he is the one who, sighted and blind, go to when something needs to be fixed. He might need some sighted guidance sometimes, but he does everything by feel! I have quite a few different videos on accessibility for iPhone and Android. You may want to check them out. Both types of phone have a lot of accessibility features that can help you make things bigger. And there are also accessibility features that will read aloud thing sfor you. There's a lot of things out there and from low vision to totally blind, one can use both an android and iphone independently. All the very best, Carrie.

[@xartius]

I have CSR for about 4.5 years for now. Firstly in one eye, now in both :( I know your feeling, bro. For me the worst part of it is the significant metamorphosia, so I see straight lines and text being bent and crooked. It is depressing to loose your vision progressively, but let's try to think on that in a positive way. Probably there will be a normal cure in the future. Otherwise, thanks to such brilliant videos and modern technologies we will still be able to see this world at least by our smartphone's camera!

[@luisaraggio401]

Thanks so much, my husband just lost his vision on both eyes and it will help a lot!

My top apps are Seeing AI, Blind Square, and I just subscribed to Scribd. Scribd is for everyone. However it’s very accessible on the iPhone. There are some books that are not on the iBooks app that are definitely on the Scribd app. You have to pay for this particular app also. I recently lost the ability to read effectively by eye, but I have hundreds of books in the cloud/on Scribd now. Thanks for the video!

These are some great suggestions. I hope you don’t mind but I shared your video in my tech group on Facebook. I really like the Voice Dream apps. I can write accessible documents on my phone with voice dream writer, I can scan print text with voice dream scanner, and then I can save those documents are pages I’ve scanned with voice dream scanner, and then save them to voice dream reader to read them excessively.

[@jacoblynch9862]

I would like to add the seeing AI app also has a channel in it to read currency. It also has the option in it to turn on the camera when it cannot read whatever you're trying to get it to read however, seeing AI has to have an Internet connection to function rather it is the Wi-Fi or your cellular data, so if you were using an iPad, you have to have Wi-Fi for that app to work. It's not a problem on the phone since you typically always have cellular data now just letting people know that.

[@LiveAccessible]

That's a great point Jacob. Yes, there are a lot of new apps and features going around now... I hope you can also follow me on my new channel, Carrie on Accessibility! youtube.com/@carrieonaccessibility.

Hi there! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! To be honest though, I don't really use navigation apps too much, but I've heard that the we walk app is great for navigation. I don't live in a very accessible city or area, so everything here is car, car, car. I wish I could live in a more walkable place where I could use navigation apps more though. Best of luck!

Thanks, my AMD is getting worse at 74. Keyboard is hard to use and i have some programming and electronic projects to finish. WeZoom is great, it doesn't seem to timeout. Triple tap and hold will time out before i can find the place where i want to solder. or even the boxes on the 1040 tax form. Thank you very much Do you have suggestions for monitors? I hays bought a 32 inch LG and have it is set for 1280x720, to allow better text but its not quite enough, I still have to scroll zoom a lot. Again, thanks

[@LiveAccessible]

Hi there! I'm glad it's helping. Let me answer your questions but first I just want to Just let you know that have a new channel called carrie on accessibility. This channel has been discontinued. I would discourage you from changing your resolution. At least not too much. What you can actually do if you're using Windows is change display scaling. It keeps it sharp while still making everything larger. You can play around it with the percentages. I have mine I think around 175% or maybe 200%. It also just depends on your monitor. You can also change text size. That changes a lot of the UI user interface text. On Android, you can just triple tap without holding. You can do both. If you only triple tap it will stay there and then you can pan around with two fingers. The triple tap and hold is great because it helps you read faster. Or move around faster. They do have large high contrast keyboards. There are pretty nice ones on Amazon. It will be more expensive if it's wireless but there is an Azio one that is wired and backlit for a decent price. Does that help at all? Feel free to also comment/message me through Carrie on accessibility.

Hi there! I'm so sorry that I took so long to respond to your comment. Android is certainly a journey, but can be fulfilling if you stick with it! I personally use Google weather. I'm sure there are others out there, but I haven't really tried them. Another really great resource for android is a podcast called blind android users. They have great episodes and I think that they had a discussion about weather apps in the past. All the best with your android journey! Carrie.

[@melissaslegallyblindworld]

This is a interesting count down list Carrie, I myself tried to get the android Google lookout app on my old phone but then I heard from talkback "your phone is not compatible with this device" so my guess is these apps require a high definition type of camera which sucks for me because not matter how much I ask my parents, they won't get me a 2021 phone and that is so frustrating. If I lived on my own I would've had the new phone already.

[@LiveAccessible]

I wasn’t sure what button it was when I first explored this app and I tried to click it. Apparently, it made a video call. To my surprise, I just kept quiet throughout the call and luckily I found the end call button. Lol! Feelings of uneasiness enveloped me after I ended the call but when I think back, it was funny.

I love be my eyes

@@nelsonofficial.7313 Thanks for clarifying your experience Nelson. I would have recommended the app to mom, but I am sure she will feel uncomfortable if she did not know it was a video call she was making. Now I know, so I'll be sure to be with her for the first call or two. Thanks for sharing your experience

[@nelsonofficial.7313]

Yeah. It’s hard for blind and visually impairred people to comunicate at first. They will feel uncomfortable to talk with other people. But we need to get used to it because when we go out, we need to comunicate with many people. Though this app is not bad from my side. I'am still using other apps, but for more accurate expirience, I prefer Be My Eyes.

Hi, I brasilian and have low vision. What is this in your right side?

[@LiveAccessible]

Hi there! That's a CCTV/video magnifier. The exact model is a Freedom Scientific PhD video magnifier. I bought it many years ago. A similar one I plan to upgrade to is a Humanware Reveal 16.

Hi, Carrie! I want to play cards with my father-in-law. He is blind. Do you have any suggestions for this? How would you play cards without the braille (because he doesnt know and does not have motivation to learn right now).

great video is there an app where we all can join and share our opinions means like a dating or community app for blind low vision and visually impaired

[@LiveAccessible]

Hi there! Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure of a platform that it exclusive to those whoa re blind and low vision, but I know that there are a lot of people who are on Clubhouse now. It is an audio call only app and seems to be a pretty fun place to chat with a lot of other blind people. There are blind and visually impaired people on there from all over the world. It might something to look into! There are also communities for the blind and visually impaired on facebook.

How does Audible help you with accessibility? I’m curious about your experience like signing up to the Audible app, how do you access the books?

How do you read comments?

[@LiveAccessible]

Settings - accessibility - talkback on. Settings - accessibility - magnification on Settings - accessibility - select to speak on

[@pauladoyle8111]

Is there an Android app that will help on basic phone items for the blind? I just want to make calls and text. While the basics are there (call "Sue" or "message Sue") I need more like consistency ("OK google" doesn't always work - Samsung phone). I need to be able to repeat things like who is calling, messages (will only read once), past messages retrieval (on phone messages and texts), saying numbers when a phone system prompts, easy editing of texts, etc.,etc. Many times my phone goes into never never land and won't do anything (updates or thinking I asked for info on something). I have to take my phone to my husband to have him back me out of what is stopping the voice from working. It is extremely frustrating. Then there are the changes when some "supersmart" (just kidding) Google engineer makes a change and kills a feature that might work. Are there apps by people that cater to the blind or nearly blind? I don't need any of the "identify this or that" stuff, just basic functions like I used to use before I lost my vision. Thanks so much....great videos!

Hi paula! I'm sorry for the delayed response- I don't typically check comments on this channel since it is discontinued, but I hope you can also follow on my new channel, Carrie on Accessibility- youtube.com/@carrieonaccessibility. There are a lot of accessibility features on android like talkback which is a screen reader that can help someone even completely blind access the phone. If that's not an option, you prefer, you can try Big Launcher. Here's a video I did on it a few years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXSUaah5ZbCkmLc. If you would like more help, you can contact me through the new channel or send me an email- [e-mail]. All the best, Carrie.

I'm low vision friend

[@jacoblynch9862]

I would like to make a correction after seeing my own comment they seeing AI app has an option to automatically turn on your light. If the camera cannot physically read whatever it's trying to read it is in the settings and then options you can turn it on or off that is what I meant. When I said camera and turning it on I meant the light for the camera to read, the app can do it automatically if it needs it

[@LiveAccessible]

Thanks for explaining! yes seeing AI is a really great tool. Hopefully one day it can make its way to Android. By the way, I have a new channel! You can check it out here: www.youtube.com/@carrieonaccessibility . I'm unfortunately not able to continue creating videos on this channel.

[@colleenhester5544]

Scribed is great also

[@antithesis2211]

I wish someone would create a more accessible dating app for people who are blind like myself!

[@inekogary8870]

I have on my phone be my eyes and I love it. And I also have seeing AI on my phone and I love it and I also have tap tap see on my phone also. I have an iPhone 7 in these three apps that I have are totally free from the App Store I love them so much as a blind person. I have been blind since I’ve been six months old. Never ever was able to see color or my family faces, and my stepmom had to read my homework to me and write it down for me. Because my dad did not want me to learn braille when I was a little little girl and my mom when she found out about the Florida school for the deaf and blind and seen Agustin when I was 16 years old she said she was she could’ve found out about the school when I was in kindergarten. She said because she feels it would help my learning disability a lot better and she would’ve pushed for me to learn braille where I could be able to read contracted braille today. But since I learned at 18 years old I am stuck on on un contracted braille. But to me it’s still better than nothing. And I also have lbraille watch

[@LiveAccessible]

Wow! I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that. My brother is deaf, but he has 20/20 vision. My dad is totally blind, and now he is losing a lot of his hearing. I'm glad that you seem to be at a much better place. Keep it up, keep going, and know that there is a community here that welcomes you! I myself know uncontracted braille, and a little bit of contracted braille and hopefully, I can improve! There are many others who learned braille as adults, too. 😊

In Sweden we get them they say player at Cetra for free and I do prefer you think it over on my smart phone since I told Hasse a lot better battery for instance and we have old version of the book thing as well hundred thousand titles already and if there’s someone that’s not, you can always ask them to read one and I have asked them to read in five books and they won’t have. I got them ready. Yes perfect and everything is totally free. since unlock the United States, we are not a developing country. One comes to healthcare and things like that. I know you’re Canadian, but I bet there are some Americans here as well.
