RE: What do you expect the advantages to be for a blind user in iPhone 10?

For me the smaller size and 2 hours more battery life over the 8 Plus would be pretty compelling reasons to fork out the extra cash for an iPhone X. Of course that is also a really good reason for anybody who has a 6S/6S Plus or 7/7 Plus to simply fight the urge to run out there and buy a new

Re: What do you expect the advantages to be for a blind user in iPhone 10?

If I upgrade to another Iphone this year, it's the 8 plus for sure. I am not even in to smaller devices but would even consider going for the 8 256 gb before I would buy the X. I want to give them another year to get down face id, and I am really more of a touch id fan because my phone doesn't

I’m going to premiss my comment with a thought regarding Screen Curtain; as I recall there had been a thread on this very e-mail list that concluded that deploying Screen Curtain did not truly result in lowering battery drain. If my recollection is wrong please disregard my following

RE: What do you expect the advantages to be for a blind user in iPhone 10?

Yes, but what if you’re one of the Joneses? Apple’s basically got eight different models with different storage sizes to choose from now. Something for everyone. I’m more inclined to stick with a finger print model for at least one more year and probably by next year the face ID thing will be

Re: What do you expect the advantages to be for a blind user in iPhone 10?

The price isn't going to go down very much this year. Unlike what happens with android phones, where you see all kinds of discounts and deals and two for one at Cetera, don't look for any big deals on the iPhone ex. Besides, as a blind person, it makes zero sense to buy this phone. You get

I couldn't agree more. If I were in the market this year, I would get an 8+. No question. Mary Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 13, 2017, at 7:43 PM, Andy Baracco wrote: > > The iPhone X offers nothing for a visually impaired person that would warrant > the increased price.

The iPhone X offers nothing for a visually impaired person that would warrant the increased price. The iPhone 8 should service the needs of a visually impaired person well. Andy - Original Message - From: Jewel To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2017

I love the short text channel on Seeing AI. I almost stopped using KNFB reader entirely because of that. I used to use KNFB reader mostly to identify the pieces of mail I get, but now I use seeing AI instead. Cheers, Cris From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On

I think OCR results also depend on who is doing the scanning since there are people on this list who say they can’t for the life of them even get anything good with KNFB Reader. If the print is good I get near 100% accuracy both with KNFB Reader and the document scanning channel in Seeing AI.

RE: What do you expect the advantages to be for a blind user in iPhone 10?

I say this because I have been using OCR apps, including text detective, text grabber prizmo, KNFB reader and others since iPhone 4S and have not seen a huge OCR improvements. In other words the OCR improvements do not match the huge changes in the photo quality across the various releases of

May be it is too early to tell because none of us has seen iPhone ten yet. But I listened to the Apple description of the hardware carefully and I could not find in it anything for me as a blind user which does not already exist in iPhone seven or the forth coming iPhone eight. How many
