fyi, National Braille Press has a new book for iOS 8. I have not read it yet, but I have no doubt it will be a good reference. This is different from the getting started with the iPhone series. Below is a description and link if interested. iOS 8 Without the Eye The Definitive Guide to iOS 8 from a Blind Person’s Perspective by Jonathan Mosen In Braille (2 vols), eBraille (BRF), DAISY, or Word: $19.95 Apple’s iOS 8, the mobile operating system powering iPhone®, iPad® and iPod Touch®, is more powerful, more capable, and perhaps most exciting of all, more open than ever before. Make the most of what iOS 8 has to offer. Get up and running quickly and easily with a clearly-written, comprehensive, well-structured guide to all that’s new in iOS 8. Jonathan Mosen has spent months delving into iOS 8 as it has taken shape, writing up the advertised new features from an accessibility point of view, and uncovering a whole bunch of other goodies Apple didn’t talk about. The results of all that work can be in your hands with a low-cost purchase. Look at new features from the perspective of those who use VoiceOver with this text-based, searchable, authoritative resource that lets you read at your own pace, skim at your leisure, and consult when you need it. Jonathan starts from the iOS 8 installation process, works through all the VoiceOver changes, then moves onto the amazing new mainstream features from a blindness perspective.
