It's funny that this made me feel nostalgic for the struggle of reading a book when I had some vision. I never loved the handheld versions so I read all of the Harry Potter books on one of the proper CCTV's witht he sliding shelf. Good job on he informative video I'm going to subscribe :)
Thanks for sharing that! I know what you mean. Now that I can only read with a 7x, I'm nostalgic for when I could read with a 5x, and when I could read with a 5x, I was notalgic for the 3x, and so on :-)
Haha I spent hours on that CCTV fiddling with all the knobs and dials changing the colour filter and working out whether I liked isolating a line. I usually settled on black with green text
@@WrestlingInTheDark Interesting... I used to prefer dark text on light background, but now I prefer the reverse. I use a CCTV magnifier as well, but only for very specific purposes, for example, grading student exams. Something about horrible plus small penmanship being nearly impossible to read otherwise... I also mostly use audiobooks now if I can find them...
@@legallyblind4215 It's interesting that you're a teacher. I always wondered what someone who was VI would be like as a teacher, do you enjoy it? Also I like audiobooks sometimes but I find the voices are quite often a bit old timey. I wanted to listen to LOTR but couldn't because the man reading sounded like he was from the 1920's haha
@@WrestlingInTheDark I do enjoy it quite a bit actually! But I do not enjoy grading... Grading is the most difficult thing for me as a teacher with a VI. The classrooms at my university are also not very accessible to blind instructors, so that's annoying but still workable for me...
