My mother has a very similar condition and has been recently declared legally blind and her vision worsens by the month. She primarily uses a Vision Buddy (https://visionbuddy.com/ https://visionbuddy.com/) for screens and for books, she has an audio book player that connects to the Library of Congress where she gets free audiobooks (https://www.loc.gov/nls/enrollment-equipment/equipment-needed-for-nls-materials/digital-audiobook-players/ https://www.loc.gov/nls/enrollment-equipment/equipment-neede...)
- jareds 3y agoHave you looked into streaming devices so she can watch movies and tv with audio description? I'm totally blind and the availability of audio description on all major streaming services has made tv watching a lot better for me.
- javajosh 3y agoDo the descriptions interfere with the dialog? Are they recorded human voices or computer generated?
- jareds 3y agoDescriptions are read by a human narrator. Description only occurs when there is no dialog. According to my sited wife it's not that distracting, she got used to it after a month or two.
- rawgabbit 3y agoVision buddy looks very cool. This is what I had hoped Apple's headset would be.
