    Thanks so much for simply having a channel!! I have an 11 year old son who was diagnosed with RP at the age of 5 and at his 2020 semi annual appt they confirmed that he is now legally blind. Your videos are such an inspiration to our family!

    Cayla, seriously please don't let the haters bother you. You know what you're doing and you're too smart to even acknowledge they even exist. To even reference them gives them a win in their eyes No pun intended. You're doing fine and as old as I am I still learned a couple things I didn't know from your video. Thanks for the help.

    One would think that with being able to Google anything and everything that less people would be asking how a blind person uses technology. While I still use low vision features a bit, I really prefer using VoiceOver now. I sometimes end up doing things faster with a screenreader than with magnification, so that's a huge reason why I like VO more.

    • @CaylawithaC
      @CaylawithaC  3 роки тому +1

      Lol yeah you would think. Maybe now the people who do Google it will find this video. And I agree, I am way faster on the phone and computer now since using voice over instead of magnification

    I think it's really interesting how a blind person uses the internet. I am a web developer and I want to create accessible websites. For your example it's neccessary to add features in web development, so people with disabilities can use the website like you showed.

    Hi Cayla! My name is Miriam and I’m 14. I use JAWS on my PC and VoiceOver on my iPhone, too! I think VoiceOver is more accessible than Google voice on Android devices. For example, VoiceOver’s emojis descriptions are much clearer.

    This video is the answer of the frequently asked question about how we interact with our phone 😂😂😂 thank-you for this great video. This might help everyone including you, Ma'am to make your typing on iPhone more quicker. You can set your typing mode to direct touch or touch so that you won't have to double tap on each letter on your keyboard. I only use the standard typing when I'm at secured edit field like passwords. Keep safe, greetings from Philippines 💜

    Nice video my friend you got a new subscriber here. Even as a completely blind person I'm not particularly well versed in how other blind/VIP people use desktops. Any time I've tried to use one such as a ChromeBook last year I struggled so much that I eventually gave up. I'm much more comfortable with a smart phone these days :) looking forward to consuming future content.

    I was just curious, but did you know that you can change VoiceOver's voice? I think you have it set to Samantha default, but there is a Samantha enhanced voice as well. There are many other voices you can choose, too. Just go to settings, then accessibility, then VoiceOver, then speech, and it should say voice, Samantha default as one of the options. Double tap that, and you should be given a list of voices.❤️

I can see enough to use magnification on my PC but using it on a small smart phone screen isnt the best. I really hope they improve that voice on that software you use. Cuz dear lord i would lose my mind using that. lol

      I have heard that talkback isn’t as good as voiceover. Although I’m sure they are both complicated. When I started using voiceover I just started using it every once in a while to read a long article or something. That way I was able to ease into it instead of jumping into using it all the time

The other thing is voice to text Apple really needs to up step their level of this sometimes it prints and says absolute crazy and vulgar things since vulgar words are still in the system.
