There may be easier ways to do this if you're just looking at news headlines, but I use an RSS reader, Feeddler, and I subscribe to the New York times news feed, in addition to feeds on other topics. On 10/28/2013 12:42 PM, Pinky wrote: Hi lifters, I was wondering if there is a good app that

Go to settings, general, accessibility, rotor. Select text fields in the rotor settings. Now when your looking for text fields on a web page for example, just look for text fields in the rotor settings. Then just flick 1 finger up or down to move through the text fields. When you come to

It doesn't have to be music based on what's already on your computer. You can type the name of a song, an artist, a genera etc. For example, you could type in soft Jazz. If such a station exists, you'll be shown that station. If it isn't, it will be created for you. In the edit tab, you

Face time lets you communicate with other iPhone, iPad etc users over WI-FI with both audio and video. It at first glance may seem useless for a blind person, but it can be useful. For example, if you have a sighted friend handy, and want to know what this is, you can hold the item up so your

I thought the same thing Grant did, and that was that you were making philosophical or generic statements. When I read Whenever possible, I do not purchase blindness specific apps. I didn't assume you were just talking about GPS apps. I agree if a blindness specific app doesn't meet your

Thanks for the info. So if I am in an edit field and I am done entering text and I want to move to the next edit field do I just do one finger flick right? Also how do you get VO to read what you have in the text field when you are still in editing mode? Ed. From:

No. When you want to move to the next text entry field assuming of course your using edit fields in the rotor, just flick down with 1 finger to move to the next field if one is there or flick up to get to the previous text entry field. You will still have to open each field to enter text. If

If you want to move to the next edit field, you'd twist the roter until you hear text field and then you'd do a flick down. This assumes you've added the text field option to your roter. Also, if you've been using your virtual keyboard, you'd have to go back to your edit field because other

I'd go to Settings - General - Accessibility - VoiceOver On - roter and add Volume to your rother options. Now you can twist the roter to volume and flick up or down to adjust your voiceOver volume independent of what you're listening to. This may help, but you may still not get your voiceOver
