Expanding possibilities for people with vision loss
The February issue of AccessWorld is now available on our website.
This issue features:
a.. Editor's Page: AccessWorld Recognizes February as Low Vision Awareness
Month
a.. An In-depth Evaluation of the BARD Mobile App from the National Library
Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, by Aaron Preece
NLS has released BARD Mobile, an iOS app designed to play the talking book
titles available from the BARD website. BARD Mobile has been highly
anticipated, and overall, BARD Mobile is a wonder and the developers at NLS
should be applauded for developing such a well-executed app.
a.. Evaluating the Accessibility of the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 Using
Narrator, by Bill Holton
Windows users who are visually impaired and who wish to extend their
computer use to a tablet without learning iOS or Android will enjoy the
Surface Pro 2. You can run all of your favorite Windows Store and Windows
Desktop applications. Narrator's touch gestures do not enable 100-percent
access to MS Office applications, but third-party screen readers such as
JAWS and NVDA are adding additional touch support with each new release.
a.. Setting up iCloud Keychain on Mac Computers and iOS Devices, by Janet
Ingber
Available since late October 2013, iCloud Keychain is a management tool that
can help you get your passwords, authentication, payment, and login
information under control across all of your Apple devices and computers.
a.. Book Review: Tweeting Blind by Jonathan Mosen, by Deborah Kendrick
Jonathan Mosen's Tweeting Blind is intended to serve as an instruction
manual, a guide to teach the rest of us how to use Twitter, one of the most
popular social networking systems in the cybersphere. The result is a book
that not only informs, but also engages the reader on every page.
