Welcome to AppleVis

A community-powered website for blind and low-vision users of Apple's range of Mac computers, the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

AppleVis is a rich resource that strives to empower the community by offering multiple pathways to access and share relevant and useful information. As a community, we seek to encourage and support people in exploring the many ways in which these mainstream products and related applications can offer opportunities to the vision-impaired for personal enrichment, independence and empowerment.

AppleVis also offers resources and mechanisms for raising awareness of the accessibility of Apple products and related applications, and for promoting further advancement in accessibility.

Campaign of the Month

Feedly appears to be the early frontrunner for many who are looking for a replacement to Google's popular RSS aggregation service, Google Reader. which is set to shutdown on July 1. Unfortunately, Feedly's iOS app is currently unusable with VoiceOver, something we should all urge them to correct as a matter of some urgency.

Visit the Campaign of the Month section of this site to read more about this campaign and to see just how easy it is to add your support.
