This is my lack of experience, but how does a blind person launch the app and find the correct button to push? I have toyed around with the Accessibility Features on the iPhone, is there a mode that will speak out what you are tapping on?
- xutopia 12y agoWith Siri you can just press the home button for 2 seconds and say: "Open Be My Eyes" and it will open it up for you.
- rgoodwintx 12y agoVoiceOver, among other features I believe: https://www.apple.com/accessibility/ios/voiceover/ https://www.apple.com/accessibility/ios/voiceover/
- tobiasdm 12y agoYep. We have optimised quite a lot for VoiceOver. The graphical part of the UI is quite boring for the blind :)
- hcarvalhoalves 12y agoSiri "Launch the X app"? I gather the rest of the UI can be used with gestures. See a user flicking sideways in the video.
- davidrusu 12y agoMaybe they are using Siri to launch apps
- johlindenbaum 12y agoYou should try VoiceOver and the gestures that come with it, it's mind blowing how well it works. I've found plenty of usability improvements that are really easy to make so that VoiceOver works flawlessly in apps I've worked on.
- tobiasdm 12y agoLet me know if you find any ways to improve Be My Eyes related to Voice Over. Or help out here https://github.com/bemyeyes/bemyeyes-ios https://github.com/bemyeyes/bemyeyes-ios!
