In this Blind Vet Tech Quick Guides, News and Reviews podcast, we demonstrate 3 amazing tricks to show off blind tech skills. A recent Twitter post brought the sighted community down on a visually impaired individual for using their iPhone. The reaction stems from ignorance related to the skills we possess as blind tech users. These three tricks will provide you with a chance to show off your skills while presenting an opportunity to explain Voice Over and other assistive tech. The three tricks includes:

* Sharing a contact card via AirDrop

* Open Contacts and navigate to a contact card

* Elect Share

* Select the device to Airdrop the card onto

* Enable AirDrop by navigating to Settings, General, Airdrop

* Select off, Contacts, or Everyone

* Using Speak Display to read an article through TTS

* Navigate to Settings, General, Accessibility, and Speech

* Turn on Speak Display

* Change the voice through the Voice menu or Rate of Speech through the slider

* Use a 2 finger swipe down from the top of the screen to have the TTS automatically speak the screen

* Enable Magnifier to turn any iOS device into a digital magnifier
