Hi, Today I ran into a situation which highlighted for me the need for a resource I and I’m certain others could benefit from. I was with a sighted friend and someone was helping them with their phone and was explaining to them that the wi-fi symbol on the status line of the iPhone sort of looked like an umbrella. It underscored for me how differently sighted people experience their devices. Where we hear things verbally with little to no idea what the accompanying icon might look like. Conversely we might say do you see something on the screen that says “compose” to write a message when in fact they only have vision of an icon whose symbol depicts something like a pencil in a circle thus making it harder for us to at times be a help to sighted family or friends. as such I was wondering if anyone had ever compiled a list of iOS icons in terms of their verbal cues we hear with an accompanying description so that we could better communicate not just with loved ones we might be helping but also app developers should we be giving feedback and the like. I.e. bridging the gap between the language of the iOS experience as both groups know it to be. If such a thing exists I’d love to know of it or if someone would be willing to compile such it’d be greatly appreciated by many I’m sure. Thanks in advance. Take good care. Robin
