Hello Xivan,

 

I doubt you find anything that is more accessible than the contacts app on
the iPhone and with a bit of practice I think you will find that it is super
fast to find contacts.

 

First of all, you can use SIRI to call people and for the most part it works
very well. If you are somewhere you don't want to say who you are calling I
think some of the other suggestions are worth your while to practice.

As Joseph said, there is a search field at the top and if you type even 2 or
3 letters you often narrow the list enough to find who you are looking for
quickly.

What Chris says about using the Contacts tab in the Phone app makes no
difference since it is the same as the actual Contacts app. Having said
this, I rarely go into the Contacts app, it is actually inside my Utilities
folder on my second home page since mostly when I need a contact I want to
either call, email or text them and I can access the contact information
from all of those apps.

Another very efficient way to find people is to use the Table Index. Once
you are in your list of Contacts, touch the very right of the screen.
Voiceover will say "Table Index, Adjustable". You can now either flick down
with one finger on the screen to move to a particular letter of the
alphabet, let's say for example, you want "F", you just flick down 5 times
and at that point you have all your contacts starting with "F" starting at
the top of the screen.

You can also do a double tap and old once you are on the Tavle Index, then
drag your finger down the screen and you can super fast move to a letter
towards the end of the alphabet.

As with all gestures, this does take a bit of practice.

If you do have an iPhone 4S or 5, you can also say "Show Me" followed by a
name in your contacts list and SIRI will display the contact information.
You can double tap on a phone number to call it, double tap on the email
address to start an email etc.

 

Good luck,

Sieghard

 

I find it much accesses the same

Subject: iPhone Contacts alternative

 

Hello,

I've been using IOS with VoiceOver for about 3 years.

However, I'm new to iPhone and the contacts app.
I'm finding this app a bit cumbersom.

It takes many clicks to find someone and then select the way you want to
contact him.
I just want to make phone calls, and I can't put everyone in the favorites
lits.

What contacts app are you guys using?
Is there an accessible alternative to the native app?

Thanks,

               Zivan
