Hello, list.
I have some questions about some apps I use for reading text and imaging pictures. I am wondering which ones to keep and how to gain more confidence in using them. This is one issue I have, along with the need to upgrade my 5S which I have had for four years and is physically falling apart, and which I am having some capacity issues with. That process will be part of another upcoming post. I am listing these apps in order of size which they take up on my phone, which will need to be upgraded as I already said, but that's another issue. I will start with the K-NFB Reader, which I will keep as I have used it fairly well, and have the greatest financial investment in. I am well aware of the help resources for it. Be My Eyes is next, which I have created an account for but haven't used. I admit part of my problem is the social anxiety of dealing with a stranger, and as a total its name reminds me that sometimes having a working pair of eyes handy can be helpful. I think of myself as a well adjusted blind person, though I haven't wanted to arrive at that in what some might consider the conventional manner of certain types of acceptance. Color Visor is good, and I have used it. I wonder if it will survive when I finally do the iOS 11 upgrade. The next one, Goggles, is an app I couldn't figure out how to get to work. I think it's one of these video apps, but I am not sure. How would it help if I could get it to work? Be Specular is another one I picked up but don't fully understand what place it could have. I am not sure what I have to do to set up the app and am unsure how it works exactly. I seem to recall it has some similarities to Be My Eyes, but works on a different principle. iNote is one I use occasionally for money identification, and so plan to keep it. iDentifi is the one we heard about some time ago which came out of a Canadian development project. I opened it up one time and couldn't figure out how to get started with it. What purpose could it serve, and is it any good? Do other apps I have serve the purpose better. Tap Tap See I know is one that identifies objects by searching a data base. I need help in gaining confidence with it. Boop is one of two light detectors I have, and I can make it work, but I'm wondering if I need two such apps. I know Digit Eyes can help me with product information and works through accessing a data base. I have the free version, but could use some help in learning how to use it. Light Detector Is the smallest of these apps, and I have had success with it. Again, though, do I need two of these? I paid for this one, as opposed to Boop. I would appreciate it if someone could help me work through these issues. Bill Outman Email: [email protected] -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
