iSee - Using various technologies from a blind persons perspective.

In this demo I demonstrate the Vision Australia Connect app for use with the I-Access library service which provides daisy books, newspapers/magazines and podcasts for members of the VA Library to stream or download to their Android devices: in my case on my Samsung Galaxy Tab..

In this demo I take you through finding and downloading the app from the Google Play Store, signing in with the app to the I-Access service (VA Lib members), description of main bookshelf screen, searching for a book, downloading and reading a book, explanation and demo of the play book daisy screen, and returning a book to the VA Library.

As this was a basic demo, subscriptions to newspapers/magazines and the podcasts plus more advanced usage of the VA Connect player will be covered in another demo.

In this demo I demonstrate the Vision Australia Connect app for use with the I-Access library service which provides daisy books, newspapers/magazines and podcasts for members of the VA Library to stream or download to their iOS devices: i.e. iPod touch, iPad or iPhone.

In this demo I give you a physical description of the Wahoo TICKR Hart Rate Monitor, how to attach and ware the chest band, using the Wahoo utility app to check connectivity, go through the Run Fit app briefly looking at Settings and the Profile tabs (to set your heart zones), and then take you through using the heart rate monitor with a cardio workout on my treadmill.

In this demo, I take you through navigating Microsoft outlook for Mac (release 2016 April 11) using VoiceOver covering the layout of the main screen (Toolbar, Ribbon Group, Navigation Table, Message Table [when using Mail], buttons for Mail, Calendar etc, and Status Group, accessing Mail, sending a New e-mail, Replying/Forwarding on an e-mail, checking for e-mail, changing application screens within outlook (Mail Command+1, Calendar Command+2, People Command+3, Tasks Command+4 and Notes command+5), a brief look at the layout of the Calendar screen, and looking at preferences for setting up an Account, and Notification Sounds.

In further demos, will explore Calendar, People etc.

Aim of this demo was to give you an initial feel of the layout of outlook and the ease of navigating and use.

In this demo, I take you through a demo of the Audio Game Hub and play two of the eight games: Archery and Hunt.

For an experimental audio game with visuals that you can toggle, it is a great set of eight games.

Note - to use the game, toggle VoiceOver off.

In this demo, I show you how to keep listening to an eBook such as an iBook or Kindle book even when your screen is locked using the "speak screen" function that you will find in Settings, General, Accessibility, Speech, Speak Screen.

In the demo, I show you two ways of invoking speak screen: either by two finger swipe down from the status line if using VoiceOver or asking Siri to "speak screen".

You can also get Siri to stop speaking the screen if you wish.

In this demo I take you through what is new in TV os 9.2 in respect to using voice dictation: renaming, moving and creating folders to sort apps in to, and demoing navigating with a Bluetooth keyboard which is now available on the Apple tv once again.

I also point out two current issues with using the BT keyboard: pressing Escape 3 times to bring back the Accessibility Short-Cut menu after turning off VO with the same command, will not work.  Secondly when entering passwords in to a secure text field, keys are echoed.

In this demo, I take you through having a bit of a play around with using more than one Apple watch with my Apple watch 42mm and Apple watch sports 38mm, and suggest a number of benefits of using more than one Apple watch, particularly at least for me, it now allows me to demo one watch without the worry of people accessing private information.

In this demo, I show you how to password protect a note within the Notes and where to change or reset the password.

Same functionality to that found now in the Notes app in iOS 9.3.

When in an app (not on the home screen), 4 finger flick left or right will switch between running apps.
