I hadn’t thought of the iPhone, although she has been able to use an iPad. This is technology I will have to learn myself so that I can help her navigate through a steep learning curve to make her world more accessible. Your channel will help me do that, thank you.

Android phones and Google products have Google Assistant, which from my understanding people say is better than Siri in terms of it being more knowledgeable since it can access Google's wealth of information. But based on user experience, Siri is still quite popular.

    How easy are they to use with an iphone? My best friend is blind and walks all over her neighborhood with her guide dog. I want to get her a pair of ear buds so she can talk on the phone without having to take it out and manipulate it. Would these work well for that? How do you manage answering calls, making calls, calling up Siri, sending texts?

    • @AdaptingSight
      @AdaptingSight 6 місяців тому

      They are very easy to use with an iPhone. To take a call you just click the stem of the earbud to anser the call, or use siri. YOu can click the stem to play and pause music, and just say "Hey siri" to do many other commands. The transparency mode is really helpful when walking around outside.

Also , I am not a UA-camr but I do notice many more views on videos when the name of the video uses a common noun. Show your technologies and how they operate . Offer your honest opinion about them .I'm sure you watch blind life on UA-cam . He is great don't get me wrong . But it would be great to see other people's opinions on the same technologies .

All my previous jobs were just the kind of, who would be willing to hire me. Which was practically no one. So I quit trying 10+ yrs ago. But lately now that I'm older and bored I've been thinking perhaps things have changed. Especially with the huge change in how people work (at home and using tech). Perhaps I should give it a go. Plus I'm so much better off them most becaiuse I don't need to work. I'll be working for fun, not income. I think I will give your suggestions on this app/company a try.
