Ioana,

 

In February you wrote this developer was improving VO access. Have they 
accomplished this? 

 

Thanks so much.

Hi, 

I'm going to make a crazy app recommendation  since the app I'm recommending is 
not quite accessible yet. Key word is yet. 

buddhify: mindful meditation by Mindfulness Everywherebuddhify: mindful 
meditation by Mindfulness Everywhere 
https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/buddhify-mindful-meditation/id687421118?mt=8

 

It was featured on radio shows where I heard developer speak and in other "life 
hack" type of podcasts. Different from headspace and other of the top 
mindfulness apps out there, it is a 1 time buy with no subscription. 

So I tried it and totally not accessible. However, I wrote the developer and 
response was incredible. I got refund from him and they promised accessibility 
updates. 

Now they released a major one and it actually mentions vo improvements. Still 
one cannot use the actual meditations yet but the reading material about 
meditation the why and the how is now usable and very well done. 

I have high hopes and wanted to at least give a shout out to a great responsive 
mainstream developer that promises to do things for vi users. 

 

Hth

I have the audio files for Zinn and listen in the music app.  I also have the 
recordings Dr. Bernie Siegel produced for his cancer patients. He wrote the 
book Love, Medicine and Miracles that described how people beat cancer through 
meditation and positive affirmations. I have ripped Bernie’s CD’s and digitized 
cassettes. He played these on headphones after cancer surgery and the patients 
had much better outcomes than those who did not hear these affirming 
meditations. I listen to them when I am sick. Now, they can be placed on an 
iPhone and be played through the headphones for an ill person whose mindset can 
be changed to improve their health.

Hi Shannon, interesting, we were discussing this topic on the 

BlindPhones list not so long ago.

Headspace, which I think is the most popular mindfulness app, has 

become a lot more accessible lately. They are making good use of the 

actions rotor now.

As well as the JKZ apps which Anna has already mentioned and are 

fabulous, my favourite mindfulness app is Calm. They have a range of 

meditations, scenes which have audible elements, such as a crackling 

fireplace or ocean sounds. They have sleep stories and music too. 

Every day, there's a new 10-minute meditation called The Daily Calm which I 
think is very well done.

There's an app called Simple Habit which offers five minute 

meditations for busy people.

Another that offers a few good meditations is called Simply Being.

Hope that helps. I do 15 minutes of meditation each end of the day so 

I find having a few apps to choose from keeps things fresh.

Subject: Seeking accessible mindfulness or meditation apps

 

Hi, all.

 

I’m wondering if any of you might be able to give me some suggestions 

of accessible apps dealing with mindfulness or meditation. I’ve 

browsed the app store and there are a ton of them, but I have no idea 

which ones work with VO.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated.

 

Shannon
