Those wonderful apps

This is probably one of my most delightful and biggest introductions to mobile devices! Ah yes, some of those most wonderful apps. I am like a kid in a candy shop when it comes to exploring and discovering some of those great apps. Especially so when I find them to be most accessible for a blind person such as me.

There are so many to mention but here are just a few: Skype, Twitter, BBC news, CBC news, CNN, Canadiens hockey, Westminster chimes, and the list goes on.

I am presently in the hunt for camera apps for blind persons, great scanning and bar code apps, and apps for reading my favorite books. I told you, I am like a kid in a candy shop when it comes to the world of apps and I am very sure that with time it will only get better.

I have an iPhone and an iPad and I have gotten much better at using my fingers to get around on the screen. I use tactile screen protectors which are comprised of dots to help me navigate and for insurance I use devices such as a Braille Pen and Braille Sense to navigate faster. These are 2 very powerful Braille displays in their own right.
