I don't think anybody reads a newspaper from first page to last. Most of us pick and choose which stories and features interest us at that moment. Some apps let you mark stories for later viewing. How much time you want to spend reading the newspaper of course is up to you. For many of us, it may be the first time they could actually read the paper like their sighted counter parts. The iPhone certainly has taken the blind farther then we've been before. Enjoy your newspapers! ----- Original Message ----- From: Craig Werner To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, April 27, 2013 7:06 PM Subject: Reading Newspapers Efficiently Using iPhone Apps
Greetings to the list. I have just finished listening to Garth's fine iblindtech.com podcast on the Earl newspaper reading app. I am about to download the app and give it a try. The idea of reading newspapers on an iPhone prompts a question: Suppose you have several hours to spend reading newspapers and several papers to read. Which app will allow you to read the greatest number of articles in the shortest amount of time? I am excited by the possibility of being able to emulate the process a sighted person goes through when she or he reads a paper, and an app such as Earl might well narrow the gap between the amount of information a blind person can absorb in a given period compared with the amount a sighted person might absorb during that same period. Thank you for your thoughts. Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
