Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Using a factor 8 on a MAC computer!
My partner is a teacher for visually impaired. Though not accessible for the
blind, she really likes and recommends Notability for her low vision
students. Notability lets one write or type on the iPad. Text can be resized
as necessary. The final product can be exported to PDF, but not to word.
Because I am blind, I use pages, Numbers, and Google Docs, depending on what
I need to accomplish. When I was in University, after I switched to the Mac,
I used Pages and exported my final product to PDF or Word format.

Has she tried using the screen reader instead of large text ?

Hi All,
My friend's Daughter is visually impaired. I am trying to find
easiest way for her to write documents as she is in first year of
third level and getting projects on weekly bases. At the moment she
enters text on her Iphone 6 large screen using note/memo function of
apple to write essays and then gets me or her sister to port them
into word etc. The advantage of the apple memo function is she can

review and expand pdf with ease. We have a large touch screen PC that
I am trying to get this girl to use more and searching for friendly
document processing software that she can enter data directly once
and allow her format and structure text to meet projects
requirements. what i am looking for is a product that can with touch
memo.documents with same ease she can view pdf or apple memo. The Google doc
and Microsoft word can expand and collapse a bit but will not expand
up to level of large text that she can manage with ease on the apple
Ideally I would like something that would work across PC, Apple IPAd,
Iphone or her apple Mac. I have tried the apple word doc and that
does not suit. An example of what I am saying is that I am writing
this email on gmail and touch screen, I can expand the text by factor
of approx 4 and move screen about but she needs it by factor of 8 to
stop eye strain. Would something like "MAC Pages" be a better
software to use for something like what I have outlined above?.
Many thanks for any help on this as I am struggleing to help them
find a solution and really could use your assistance.
Paul.
