Hi, no but I hear it works very well. No you cannot run Vo and screen
magnifier at the same time. Now a low vision person if his/hers eyes get
tired then using Vo would be good. But most people that have any vision left
to amount to anything is not wanting to give it up in place of text to
speech. People with low vision can do so much more than we can on our
devices, remember they can see! JMT

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.
