The Best Device for Blind People (self.Blind)

submitted by blindbecca

Hi everyone. Here's a video I made about the iPhone and why I think it is best device for blind people. I have been blind for 30 years and can attest that the iPhone has truly made a difference in my life.

$1

I have lots of other videos on my channel and I am trying to review blind specific products every week. If anyone has ideas on products they would like me to review please let me know. Thanks!

Nice video though!

Not very many of us around but we do exist :)

specially in countries where iphones are unfairly expensive folks tend to use android phones because they're cheaper and in most cases more powerful than their apple equivalents in price.

You definitely wouldn't get that impression from this sub

ukifrit 1 points 3y ago

I got this impression by living in Brazil, where an iphone 7s costs more than the latest samsung phone. Iphone prices are insane on these lands.

No, you're not :)

Have used both platforms long enough each one has its advantages and disadvantages

I have one as secondary; it's a phone but shares my data as a tablet. It's pretty nice,, (Essential PH-1), and if I couldn't afford an iPhone I think I'd be mostly content with it. However, even on the Android 10 release it's still just not as smooth as VoiceOver. I haven't tried alternative screenreaders yet, so I may change my mind. It was great to see so many accessible app recommendations; things have really changed from the last time I used Android. I'm still sticking with iOS as my main device though.

No, I've met some of them also. Thanks for watching my videos.

I don't even need to watch this to agree. The iphone basically single-handedly replaces a whole ton of rediculously expensive access tech equipment. Ocr engines, magnifiers, and tons of things I can't even think of right now.

Thank you for your feedback. Please let me know if there are any video topics you'd like to see me confront.

blindbecca [OP] 1 points 3y ago

Yes it is amazing! I have lots of other videos on my YouTube channel for product reviews for blind users.
