interesting free apps for IOS (self.Blind)
submitted by ukifrit
some days ago, I wrote a post on this sub to solve some questions about buying a new phone. I'm finally with my new idevice. What are the must have IOS apps for a blind user? I already have seeing ai installed, which is pretty good.

Be My Eyes, Around Me, Bacon Reader..the majority of the great apps are paid.

BeSpecular is nice to have for those instances where you may need a human to tell you something specific about an image.

Hi. My favorite apps are VoiceDream Reader and the new Voice Dream Scanner app.

Hi. I also forgot to mention some great games that are super fun. Two audio games that I like are audio archery and Blindfold Racer. If you like puzzle related games, then you should try Blackbox. This app is infuriating and entertaining at the same time.

Audio Archery is no longer available, and there are about 90 other apps in the Blindfold Games series, all of them very fun.

Holy shit I need to start playing Blackbox again! Thanks for reminding me :-)

Hi. I sometimes need to take a long break from Blackbox. I sometimes feel like the only gestur that I did not try is throwing my phone. Enjoy the aggravation!!!

I like TapTapSee, Be My Eyes, Voice Dream for books. I also like changing voice over settings to either a braille onscreen keyboard or direct touch typing and adding a bunch of functions like handwriting and edit mode onto the rotor.

Are there any accessible apps which teach you handwriting?

Not that I'm aware of. There used to be one called Do It Write, but it was never updated, and it wasn't that great.

thank you! I'll make some tests with braille input the next days for sure, currently using direct touch typing.
Is voice dream free?
Is voice dream free?

Opp! You are right. Voice Dream is not free. Dolphin Easy Reader is free and is similar.

But Voice Dream Reader is well worth the cost.

Curious, why use Voice Dream Reader when Kindle is free and fully accessible? What are the advantages?
