True Accessibility for the Blind and Visually Impaired comes to the
iPhone
<http://feedproxy.google.com/%7Er/FredsHeadCompanion/%7E3/WOsNqxNa0AQ/true-accessibility-for-blind-and.html>
Posted: 08 Jun 2009 01:05 PM PDT
The following information comes from Apple
<http://www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/vision.html>.
The same VoiceOver screen reader made popular on the Mac is now a
standard feature on the iPhone 3G S. It’s the world’s first
gesture-based screen reader, enabling you to enjoy the fun and
simplicity of the iPhone even if you can’t see the screen.
What makes VoiceOver on iPhone truly remarkable is that you control it
using simple gestures that let you physically interact with items on
screen. It’s easy to learn and fun to use. Instead of memorizing
hundreds of keyboard commands, or endlessly pressing tiny arrow keys to
find what you’re looking for, with VoiceOver, you simply touch the
screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then gesture
with a double-tap, drag, or flick to control the phone.
VoiceOver delivers an experience unlike any screen reader you’ve ever
used before. Traditional screen readers describe individual elements on
the screen, but struggle to communicate where each element is located or
provide information about adjoining objects. This contextual information
is very important but typically filtered out by other screen readers.
For example, “off-screen” models used by traditional screen readers to
represent applications and web pages intentionally strip away contextual
information and describe web pages as a list or menu of items. But with
VoiceOver on iPhone 3G S, you’ll experience something entirely new.
Because VoiceOver works with iPhone’s touchscreen, you interact directly
with objects on the screen and can naturally understand their location
and context. So, when you touch the upper-left corner of the screen,
you’ll hear what’s in the upper left corner of a web page, and as you
drag your finger around the screen, you’ll learn what’s nearby,
providing an amazing new sense of context and relationship between the
items you hear. For many, VoiceOver on iPhone will provide, perhaps for
the first time, a true sense of how things appear on screen, not just
descriptions of what they are.
You’ll hear descriptions of every item on the screen, including status
information such as battery level, Wi-Fi and cellular network signal
levels, the cellular network provider, and time of day. It even lets you
know when the display changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and
when the screen is locked or unlocked.
The speaking rate is adjustable so you can set it to a speed that best
suits your listening ability. VoiceOver uses distinctive sound effects
to alert you when an application opens, when the screen is updated, when
a message dialog appears, and more. And, when Voiceover is talking, the
volume of background sounds and music are automatically lowered,
“ducking” under the voice, so you can clearly hear what VoiceOver is
telling you.
VoiceOver includes built-in voices that speak 21 languages including
Chinese (Cantonese), Chinese (China), Chinese (Taiwan), Dutch, English
(US), English (UK), Finnish, French (Canada), French (France), German,
Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil),
Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Spain), and
Swedish.
VoiceOver is built right into the iPhone 3G S. There’s nothing extra to
purchase or install. All you need is the iPhone 3G S, iTunes 8.2 or
later, and a Mac or PC. You can activate your iPhone and enable
VoiceOver without sighted assistance using iTunes with a compatible
screen reader like VoiceOver included in Mac OS X and GW-Micro
Window-Eyes® for Windows XP and Windows Vista (sold separately). When
you activate iPhone using iTunes, you can enable VoiceOver on the iPhone
to start using it right away. Sighted users can also enable VoiceOver
for you directly on iPhone using the Accessibility menu in the Settings
application.
With VoiceOver enabled, you’ll use a different, but simple set of
gestures to control the iPhone. For example, instead of tapping to click
a button or select an item, you tap to hear a description of the item
you touch and double-tap to click or select it.
When an item on the screen is selected, a black rectangle called the
VoiceOver cursor appears around it. The VoiceOver cursor is displayed
for the benefit of sighted users with whom you may be sharing your
phone. When you prefer privacy, VoiceOver includes a screen curtain that
turns off the display so no one can read it without your knowledge.
In addition to touching and dragging around the screen, you can also
flick left and right to move the VoiceOver cursor precisely to the next
or previous item on the screen—no matter how big or small it is. By
flicking, you have precise control of what you hear even when it might
otherwise be difficult to place your finger on it.
When you’re typing text, such as an email message or a note, VoiceOver
echoes each character on the keyboard as you touch it, and again to
confirm when you enter it. You can also have VoiceOver speak each
completed word instead of and in addition to individual characters as
you type them. A flick up or down while typing moves the insertion point
cursor left and right within the text so you can edit a word just as
easily and precisely as typing a new word.
To help you type more quickly and accurately, iPhone features word
prediction and suggests the correct spelling when you type a word
incorrectly. With Speak Auto-text enabled, you’ll hear a sound effect
and the suggested word spoken automatically. You can just keep typing to
ignore it, or press the space key to have iPhone type it for you.
VoiceOver works with all of the built-in applications that come with
iPhone 3G S, such as Phone, iPod, iTunes, Mail, Safari, and Maps. So,
you can place and receive calls, surf the web, text and email your
friends, check your stocks and the weather, and much, much more. Apple
is also working with iPhone software developers so they can make their
applications VoiceOver compatible.
In addition to gestures, you can use your voice to play music and make a
phone call. Just press and hold the home button, listen for the audio
prompt, and speak the name of the artist, album, or playlist you want to
hear. You can pause, play, change tracks, even shuffle your music.
When you want to make a call, speak the name or telephone number of the
person you want to call. iPhone 3G S understands 21 different languages.
While many iPhone applications let you zoom in and out specific elements
such as images in Mail, or webpage columns in Safari, Zoom lets you
magnify the entire screen of any application you’re using to help you
see what’s on the display. Zoom can be enabled on iPhone 3G S using
iTunes when you’re setting up the iPhone, for yourself or someone else,
or later, using the Accessibility menu in the Settings application on
the iPhone.
Zoom works everywhere, including the Home, Unlock, and Spotlight
screens, even with applications you purchase from the App store.
For those who need or prefer higher contrast, iPhone 3G S provides an
option to change the display to White On Black. This reverse video
affect works in all applications including the Home, Unlock, and
Spotlight screens and can be used with Zoom and VoiceOver.
iPhone includes a few, easily discernible physical buttons used to
control the phone: the Sleep/Wake button, located on the top edge; the
Ring/Silent switch and volume-control buttons, located on the upper-left
edge; and the Home button, centered below the display.

additional boxes can be attached.

Guided Art Stories
This set of audiocassettes introduces students to thought-provoking
adventures based on characters found in paintings and sculpture. First,
a verbal description of the work of art is given, allowing the listener
to visualize a picture in the mind's eye. After listening to a story
about the artwork, the student creates a storyboard or diorama based on
the story. The final step is for the student to describe and explain the
picture he or she has constructed. This becomes a valuable lesson in the
power of descriptive language for blind and sighted students alike.
Includes print guidebook and three 1 7/8 ips, 2-track audiocassettes.
