Hi
Has anyone had any experience using the large print feature on the iPad 2. I
will be helping a senior citizen at the Senior Center with her new iPad 2 and
she's losing her vision to macular degeneration. It sounds like she wants to
enlarge the font so she can see the icons and text but not interested in
VoiceOver now. Since I only have light perception, I can only use VoiceOver
and have no experience with the magnification features on the iPad. I
understand I can't run both VoiceOver and the magnification programs at the
same time.
Any thoughts would be helpful. I'm hoping once she sees how I use VoiceOver
with my iPhone, she'll want to try it. But, in my experience, people who still
have some sight left will try to use it even if it is causing more frustration
than trying another way to do things. I guess I'd be the same way.
