Wow, what a loaded question! And I must first say that without my close friend voice over, still none of these other task would be possible! So hats off to Apple for introducing us!
So here are 5 ways that voice over has helped me be more independent! 1, Aira and Be My Eyes, 2 great services that have helped me accomplish many task independently that would otherwise not be possible. 2, Way Around labeling System, now I can identify many items like clothing and many other things without assistance. 3, Sendero GPS and Nearby Explorer, helps me always know where I am and to navigate and get to where I want to go. 4, Voice Dream Scanner and Seeing A I, helps me use OCR to identify documents and other products. 5, Calendar and Reminders, I would definitely not be able to function without these great tools! They not only help me not forget upcoming appointments, but also they help me remember even the small things, like its garbage day, time to take your vitamins and other meds, all the way down to don't forget to scoop that cat box! Life sometimes can get very hectick, so even being reminded about the small things can be very helpful! Honorable Mentions: BARD Mobile for books, Overcast for podcast, Sports Alerts for Sports, and all of the great accessible games out there! Accessible games use to be few in number, but now we are blessed to have more than we can play! In closing, it is funny, I am holding a phone in my hand, but that is what I use it for the least!
