Hello! My name is Liz, and I am a totally blind person who just ordered the IPhone 4S. A friend of mine guided me to this site, and I know that I will have a lot of questions as a new user of the IPhone. I will start asking now.
1. When texting, can I talk the text into the phone or do I need to use the touch screen to text? I have the same question for e-mailing as well.
2. If any one has any aps that are accessible that they find fun or helpful, I am all ears.

Hello everyone,
I was browsing the list of apps but couldn't see my apps there. It is true that my applications are recent, even if the first version of Navidys was released in 2013.

Hello everyone!
This is Borja from NaviLens, an innovative technology that makes spaces more accessible for the visually-impaired community and that is facing great success as it is currently expanding. I would like to tell you a bit about the concept and how this works.
As I was telling you, Navilens is a new system of smart digital markers that make spaces more accesible.
These markers are colored codes similar to the QR codes but with technical characteristics that allow their reading in conditions that no other code has.

Hi all,
We are the developers of an app named Noted, productivity app focusing on audio and note-taking for lectures, conferences or meetings.
Being inspired by Apple and friends, we have implemented full VoiceOvers, accessibility custom actions and rotors support for our app. Tested with a few visually impaired users of our app and they recommended us to post here for more feedback.
Would someone be able to help us out to make sure our app is good enough for everyone?

We recently released an app called Pocket Recorder - Accessible Recorder by Sweetman Systems in the App Store. We know that there are many other recording apps currently in the App Store, but we have dedicated many hours to designing this app to be the easiest and most convenient app available to anyone with a visual impairment.
• Pocket Recorder’s menus are simple and easy to navigate.
• Icons are large and easy to find.
• Recordings are automatically uploaded to any device linked to your Dropbox account.

We've just released an app we have been working on, and are now looking at adding support for accessibility.
I'm looking for some people to help me test the accessibility features as I work thru adding them, and to highlight other areas that are specific problems.
Thanks!

Hi everyone!
This is Yushu from the Roger team. Thanks so much for all the support you have been giving us, and for helping us make Roger so VoiceOver accessible over the past few months. We maintain a simple three button interface- with one tap, you are able to speak for an unlimited amount of time and we place really high emphasis and importance on our audio quality.

[This clarification is being added to my original post: Inspired by my 89-year-old mother's challenges with her computer, this app was originally designed to help senior citizens, especially those with early stages of dimentia, to have a safe and simple online experience. A friend, loved one or other caregiver sets up the app for them to ensure they can send/receive email only to/from trusted contacts and thus avoid spam and online scams. Livewise the caregiver bookmarks only safe websites.

Hi AppleVis members! I made a handsfree and audible Twitter client called Social Speaker. It automatically retrieves Tweets at regular intervals and speaks them using the same accessibility voices as VoiceOver. Tweets can be sourced from your timeline, mentions, trending topics, lists and saved searches. There are also many settings to tailor how Tweets are spoken.

Hello AppleVis, just wanted to share my newly released app 'sonogrid' for making beats: https://rosano.ca/sonogrid
I worked a lot on the VoiceOver implementation and I think it's a good start, but I could use some feedback. There were certain things that were hard to translate because it's a very visual app, but I think maybe 95% of the functionality is available through VoiceOver. I hope those of you who like music will have a chance to check it out.

The Scottish Tech Army is delighted to announce that its replacement Soundscape service is now available.
This first release is as close to a faithful reproduction of the original app as possible, to ensure that those who are already used to using the navigation tool have confidence that the replacement provides all of the functionality they have come to rely upon. The app remains free for all users.

Hi,
I am the developer of the app Speech Central. It is the first app ever to deliver the interactive web on the go. As users mostly interact with the app by listening to the voice and using audio remote control buttons on the headphones, the app should be able to help people with eyesight disabilities to use the web more efficiently.

A very gracious hello to all of you!
I am a developer working on the iOS application Strava.

Hello friends,
I am Emre, the co-founder of Mediate. We have developed the Supersense app on Android to help people find objects and scan documents. Thousands of people use our app every week worldwide. For months, people have been asking us to bring Supersense to iOS.
Also, we heard from many people that they want a simpler, faster, friendlier, more accurate, and more comprehensive scanning app that everyone can use. In the last few months, I talked to more than 100 people and conducted in-person testing with at least 20 people to understand what people really need.

Hi folks,
Wow, Voiceover support for SwiRadio isn’t as smooth as we’d expected.
We need time to roll out an app specifically designed for Voiceover users, SwiRadio Voice (free)
Some sleek features may be missing, but I believe it will make Voiceover fit better.
Here’s a video to get the gist of SwiRadio:

Just the other day, I released a free camera app in the App Store called PenTapTrace, which is designed for the visually impaired. The feature of this camera app is that you can check the location of text, faces, and objects by tracing the image you take on the screen, using vibration. Even if you are blind or have difficulty seeing, you can use this app to better compose a photo or make effective use of various image recognition applications such as OCR applications.
