[gallagher123123]

I have it on my i pod touch.

[KingWi11]

this is really great for the blind! awesome app!

@looktel I agree that this video is not accessible to the people you target: the visually impaired. I recommend you vocally describe the app, how to use it, the costs and where to find it. People don't want to have to wait for friends or relatives to find them good applications...

The app looks good! I'm gonna try this app to see whether I can recommend it to my clients (is it completely accessible through the smarttouch and VoiceOver / is it really as accurate as you claim / etc.).

[Itjed]

@RadioBull Where do you get that the NFB does not recommend using touchscreen phones??? Yes ordinary touch screens are completely inaccessible, but that does not include the iPhone!

Found on their website: "On September 22, 2009, the National Federation of the Blind presented Apple with a special award to honor the company for making the iPhone accessible."

I'm afraid your brother probably was not aware of all the possibilities of the iPhone...

[Itjed]

To all you people who wonder about visually impaired people using this app: the iPhone is at this moment the one most accessible phone through the Zoom, VoiceOver and Smarttouch functions. Several of my blind clients use it excessively and say that a whole world of possibilities has opened up for them. Calling, texting, e-mailing, it's all completely accessible.

The downside of software like Talks or MobileSpeak is the fact that you have to memorise all these key-combinations (on tiny keys).

@RadioBull hahahahahahahahaha

[itechkid]

@RadioBull perhaps it's a demonstration video for the blind person's family/relative/carer to notify them of the app's existence? ever thought about that?

[itechkid]

@RadioBull

-VoiceOver isn't the only accessibility feature on iPhone.

-iPhone & its accessibility features are for "people with vision problems or other physical disabilities", not totally BLIND people like your brother.

-If a blind person DOES want to use it, iPhone supports wireless braille displays & braille tables

-I did Google all this before posting; unfortunately I didnt find your bro's experience coz Google is still quite limited in that it can't index people's unpublished experiences.

@RadioBull iPhone 4 comes standard with accessibility features that help people with disabilities experience all that iPhone has to offer. The most important accessibility feature in iPhone is VoiceOver, the world’s first gesture-based screen reader. Instead of memorizing keyboard commands or pressing tiny arrow keys, you simply touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then double-tap, drag, or flick to control iPhone.

Ignorance isn't bliss. Google before you comment

[pranabelly]

this is awesome.

[RamboRage]

my favorite prostitute makes the same noise when i suggest new positions

[kalapanee]

FAILED! Blind/Visually Impaired people rely more on other senses , say touch, which iPhone clearly lacks (no keyboard). This app is useful only when Apple throw in some sorta accessible support right through their iOS.

[kalapanee]

@kalapanee but props to you guys for coming up with this. I fonly iPhone camera was advanced enough that this app can be extended to validate counterfeit bills.

[somamoons]

@kalapanee the iPhone does have accessibility features. Go to Apple.com and search for "accessibility iphone". First link will tell you more. Would post link but YouTube won't let me.

@RadioBull

Hey lowlife, all visually impaired people are not blind!!

[tavitooo]

Sorprendente tambien sirve para otros tipos de billetes? for other currency?

[NitroReviews]

$1 $5 $10 $20

Going going going.....gone sold to the douchebag who bought the app

[itechkid]

@NitroReviews would you like it if someone called you a douchebag for a disability you had?

[zagman76]

Awesome... why would a blind person use a glass touch screen phone again?

[zagman76]

@itechkid That's terriffic. Let me ask you this: HOW would BLIND person benefit from a smooth piece of glass as a work surface?

[itechkid]

@zagman76 haha that's seriously sad that you're back to troll on a two month old conversation. when i got the email notification of your comment, I was thinking, "Who the heck replied to THAT?"

i guess i shouldn't be surprised though; this is YouTube comments after all...

[zagman76]

@itechkid You essentially called me ignorant, and then ran away with no backing to your claim. My original and followup questions are legit.

[itechkid]

@zagman76 *I* ran away? LMAO you're the one who replied two months later. That proves your ignorance; you can't even read the time/date stamps on the bottom of the comments. To answer your question: conversely, how would a blind person benefit from using a computer if they can't see it? A computer is just as virtual as an iPhone or any other mobile device (i.e. they all are "virtual" since they have screens whose information is not tactile).

[zagman76]

@itechkid Right - that in irrefutable proof of ignorance. Your powers of reasoning are outstanding. You can't answer the question by posing a different construct. However, to appease your tangent: A computer has a keyboard for it's input - a physical piece of equipment. A keyboard with braille letters exists, and an output device that "draws" braille letters also exists for simple text output. My original question still stands.

[itechkid]

@zagman76 lol what is this? Debating class?

Anyhow, another Google search reveals this: "iPhone 4 supports more than 30 Bluetooth wireless braille displays right out of the box. Just pair one and start using it to navigate your iPhone with VoiceOver — no additional software needed. In addition, iPhone includes braille tables for more than 25 international languages."

Case closed.

p.s. Like I said, googling before commenting is a virtuous skill.

[zagman76]

@itechkid Correct, so with a bt braille kbd "no additional software [is] needed" - why would they get this app? Without a bt braille kbd, what good does a smooth piece of glass do as a work-surface for a blind person?

Think before you leap.

[itechkid]

@zagman76 Oh so now you're making out that you ALREADY knew that you could use a Braille Bluetooth Keyboard?! Dude, I'm not taking the trollbait. Go troll with someone else. I've encountered MANY MANY trolls in my life, but never have I witnessed such a sad, sad person as you.

Peace out, and lotsa love -- you need it.

[zagman76]

@itechkid No trolling from me - you originally trolled me, and told me I was ignorant, then in this convo, pretty much concluded that "no additional software [is] needed" for yourself. All I am saying is think before you leap.

[FLa2aSH]

What's the point here? If this app made 4 blind ppl how they gonna use the iPhone and run the app? =/
