Visually-Impaired Advocate for iPad 2
I am representing the blind and visually impaired community, and I will be talking about the iPad 2 as it relates to compatibility for disabled persons. Just about everybody is talking about the new iPad 2 including us as visually impaired people.
Apple as for many years, provided many ways how blind and visually impaired persons can interact with their products or technologies, and the iPad 2 is no exception. The iPad has voice over technology integrated into the device that enables all aspects of the iPad to be utilized.
For those blind individuals who are worried about the touch screen being difficult to use, there is nothing to worry about. Blind individuals can glide their fingers over the screen, and as they glide their fingers, the options will be spoken aloud. When the users hear an option that they want to select, they can tap their fingers on that option twice, and that option will then be activated. Once again Apple come up trumps! Well done, you certainly show why you are rated among the best in the business!
