Re: Apple proposes new emojis for people with disabilities, CNET

On the rare occasions that I went out on the street sans guide dog, my cane was 3 feet long, and I found that, completely adequate. A cane extending to the sternum, and even worse, the chin! my blood curdles at the very thought! If there is an obstacle to avoid, I would rather know about

I'm in Honolulu, and at this point only need a map for Hawaii. I walk and take the bus, so need the ability to plan and explore routes in detail. I need the ability to save routes and preview saved routes before I attempt them. I need something that can handle turn-by-turn complicated pedestrian

Re: What GPS App are You Using?

Dani, I doubt any one app will do what you want. There is an app for realtime bus information which I've copied the link and description below, but it doesn't mention VoiceOver, so no telling if it is accessible. No turn-by-turn app is going to take into account the construction, though this

Re: Apple proposes new emojis for people with disabilities, CNET

Well, the idea behind the long cane is that you want a cane that will sweep out the space that you're about to step into. A shorter cane means that you'd either have to walk slower and take shorter steps or increase the risk of running into something since you won't have enough warning to

Christopher, Perhaps you have not been following Jewel's post for a long time now. you don't grasp her usual tongue and cheek or brand of Eumar. I would say that If Jewel is used to using a 3 foot Kane then a 5 foot Kane is indeed going to seem like it's turning the corner long before she

RE: Apple proposes new emojis for people with disabilities, CNET

I use my cane much better when it only comes up to my chest. Longer than that, just gets in the way for me. With a longer cane, I walk slower, and the cane is so cumbersome for me. To my chest, I would rather hold my arm out, and I can control the cane so great, and barely tap the ground, and

Hi. I've been meaning to post this for some time so here goes. I have an iphone 7 with the accompanying apple smart battery case. I like it fine but I have noticed something. When I first got it, when I booted up the phone or woke it up, I would get the remaining charge in the smart case as well

I love this comment. Some of us like petite, me for example. And to go against my own previous comment, sighted getting caught between their ankles is an absolute classic error they manage. A cane can be too long if you cqan't withdraw it in quick manner to free from such a trap. Mine is

Re: What GPS App are You Using?

Keep in mind that none of these apps will alert you to road closures, road or sidewalk construction, etc. Also they will not let you know whether or not a street has sidewalks. They do give you the option of creating either a pedestrian or vehicle route. Andy - Original Message -

Re: Apple proposes new emojis for people with disabilities, CNET

All this cane length argument aside, we are wandering off topic some; we were talking about how appropriate new images would be. Since the image described mentioned a short cane, this is normal for a purely symbol cane rather than full mobility device. It is about public perception of what

Re: What GPS App are You Using?

I'm not sure what all of these apps are that we're talking about or what they use for their map and traffic data, but Google Maps will let you know about road closures. I assume Apple Maps does as well. On 03/25/2018 01:13 PM, Andy Baracco wrote: Keep in mind that none of these apps will

I use nearby explorer, it's a great app, the reason I use it is because it provides the most feedback in real time about where you are which is the main purpose for a blindness GPS app, I think it is by far the best app for blind travelers. > On Mar 24, 2018, at 5:44 AM, Dani Pagador

Re: What GPS App are You Using?

My biggest issue with the seeing eye app is that real time information is not spoken unless you search forit on the screen, and when you are walking, that's not practical. For example, unless you turn this off, when you change direction, nearby explorer speaks the new direction as soon as it is
