Hi guys Yesterday, a blind friend of mine told me something that I didn’t think one could do, so I just decided to test it. She and a blind friend of hers were updating Yosemite this past week, and for some reason, probably because she is a new Mac user, she was on the phone with Apple accessibility at that 877 number. The advisor just happened to say that he wished they had a sighted person present to check to see how much time was left on the update. Of course, VoiceOver was out of the picture at that moment, so her totally blind friend whipped out his iPhone with KNFB reader and scanned the screen and found out how much time was left. She told me this, and I was skeptical because I had tried it before and it didn’t work. So I increased the brightness on my screen, and sure enough, my iPhone read the screen. It wasn’t perfect, but enough to figure out what was on there. So next time I need a sighted person to scan the screen, maybe I’ll try the iPhone first.
