You can also go into accessibility and turn on the crown button so that you can throw through your menus using the crown button while using voice over. That way you don’t have to do all the gestures if you do not wish to.
There’s a blind life I am Emely Rodriguez and I am blind and I watched your video a few minutes ago and it was cool because I use VoiceOver on my iPad and I’ve never used it on an Apple Watch because I can’t have one and I have I’m nine years old and I have an iPad and when I’m 16 I’m gonna get a Apple Watch and I watch your videos and I’m gonna watch this video that I watch now so I could save my so I could save my memory and I could remember all the amazing videos that you made thank you thank you for making thank you for making all these amazing videos for your fans and me too
As a person who's blind myself and is looking to get a apple watch.
Just gotta say thanks for uploading stuff like this very helpful.
Great video! I’d use air pods along with zoom and voice over! I never knew there was so much accessibility in the watch. I always wrote it off for sighted people but maybe I should pick one up!
Do you think the new Apple Watch Ultra with it's bigger screen will be much better concerning the fat fingering? I am seriously considering to buy one.
Thanks for putting this video together. Is there a gesture/finger tap command to turn voiceover on and off as there is on the iPhone? Is there a way to silence and activate voice mode using a gesture as well? For example, I turned on voiceover on my iPhone and pretty much keep it on all the time but don’t necessarily want the phone to talk and announce things all the time so I use the three finger double tap to turn voiceover on and off. Is there equivalent for the Apple Watch? Thanks so much for doing these videos for the visually impaired. It’s greatly appreciated.
Tapping the crown 3-times will cycle vo on and off.
Hello, do you think the accessibility voiceover setting typing style touch typing is available on the Apple Watch? I’m asking because I did not see it on my Apple Watch voiceover accessibility settings
Would be nice if you could bluetooth pair it to a Garmin Edge GPS, (problem with the Garmn is the screen/directions) are too small to see.. If the watch could be paired , and have an Left/Right indicator on the screen, it would be good for those who have long vision and can't see the GPS close up..
Thinking of getting an Apple Watch from a well-known friend, who is also blind. It is going to be a back up for whenever my current watch dies, not Apple related by the way. Does the “water walk? “work well on the Apple Watch. How to get in and out of that mode, and how to automatically set it up.
So the sound of the voice over comes from the phone or from the iWatch? Thanks in advance for the answer
Thanks to Mike and also to you! I just kitted myself out with a bunch of Apple tech because I've reached my limit with Samsung. I'm at the point in vision loss that it's equally hard to learn how to do things the way I did before, or change to a totally different way like Apple. I'm getting the iphone 13 mini, the apple watch 7, air pod pro, and a base model ipad. You've already got me off to a great start even though nothing has been delivered yet. Thanks!
Great to hear! My next video is going over all the other accessibility options on the watch. Stay tuned
Sir I’m in India my father in blind from 2 yr can u suggest him a good AI watch
I am thinking of getting an apple watch i have looked quite different ones and the series4 is perhaps tye one I will go for
Best of luck!
You have a Galaxy phone right? Can you review the accessibility for the Galaxy Watch?
I actually already made that video a few years back. Just search for smart watch accessibility on UA-cam and you should find it. Soon I’ll be doing a comparison between the Apple Watch and the galaxy watch.
What is the Braille selection? Will it read Braille or something? I would love to hear what that's about, as I'm learning to read and write Braille with my Perkins Braille writer. Thanks my friend, really dig your channel!
All right great, I’ll try to make that a future video
Hey Sam!
I awesome video Sam! The Apple Watch is definitely something that’s on my radar to get one day. Do you know what Apple Watch version that is!
Also if you had to choose between the Sunu Band for the Apple Watch, which one is better? Could you actually wear both of them simultaneously? Or would you have to choose one or the other?
I’m using the Apple Watch SE. Yes, you could totally wear the Sue new band and Apple Watch together at the same time. You were just wear them on opposite wrists. They do completely different things so it’s not really a fair comparison between the two.
@@theblindlife what’s the suu band?
Sir I am Sai hari from india.
I would like to ask 1 doubt that, which voice you used in your Apple Watch while you are recording this video?
👏👏👏👏
What series of Apple Watch are you demoing? I recently purchased the Apple Watch seven and my menu doesn’t have voiceover on it and I would love to know how to change the little old lady voice that I’m seem to be stuck with lol never mind! I did some tinkering and figured it out! Thank you for reviewing the watch I didn’t realize it even had other voices!
I’m using the Apple Watch SE, I believe they came out last year. Glad you were able to figure it out!
How did you change the voice over voice? Can you choose other voices than Siri or Siri and the default voice are the only options?
@@hajaralbattah7812 if I remember right choose click settings and Siri and Siri voice
@@PurfectRelaxation thanks
@@hajaralbattah7812 you are so welcome!
I’m a totally blind person. How to turn voiceover on on the watch without a sighted helper? Thanks a lot.
You can either do it through the watch app on your phone, or trigger Siri on the watch and ask her to turn it on.
I'm super excited for haptic time, it's one of the main reasons I just bought an apple watch. So I will be able to tell the time discretely, with haptic feedback, during a meeting, onstage, etc, I will just double tap the watch face and it will vibrate the time on my wrist! It'll be the first time in six years I'll be able to tell the time without it shouting it for the whole room to hear, or having to use headphones
Cool, is this feature available yet? If yes how do you activate it?
@@hajaralbattah7812 Yep. It's active. Turn it on in settings, there's some settings in general, some in clock settings, and some in accessibility, or something like that, you have to dig around to find them all.
If you are using voiceover, to get the time vibrated, when the watch screen is off, double tap the watch face. In the default mode it vibrates long for the tens, and short for the ones. So 11:13 would be long short. pause long short short short. But you can adjust how it vibrates the time. It's awesome and I love it
@@hajaralbattah7812 oh and It works without voiceover too, but I don't know the gesture for it, you'll have to look it up
@@susanwilliams2392 awesome thank you
@@hajaralbattah7812 No worries. I think there's some articles or vids or something on how to work it if I missed anything. Have fun
I have an Apple Watch 2 and it looks nothing like the watch you displayed.
By design i think its series 6 or 7
I’m using the Apple Watch SE. I believe it came out last year. Just make sure your watch is fully up-to-date and the accessibility settings should be the same.
Does voiceover work with all the apps?
iPhone, nine accessibility
iPhone, nine accessibility
To resting in hearing about the Apple Watch I am legally blind and have never owned one.
I expect the guy making blind life videos would know better than to use words like here to describe things.
