Apple iOS Training Bundle Freedom Scientific has released the Apple iOS Training Bundle, a new training solution specifically designed to teach people with visual impairments how to use VoiceOver(r) and the Apple(r) iOS on devices such as the iPhone(r) and iPad(r). This solution, provided in DAISY audio format, contains over 10 hours of high-quality one-on-one training on a 2-GB SD card along with a PLEXTALK(r) portable DAISY book player.

"This training will allow people to gain complete control over their iOS devices," said Jonathan Mosen, the instructor featured in the audio tutorials. "The portable delivery system means customers can learn to use the iPhone or iPad and VoiceOver even when they don't have access to in-person training."

A: The training is about ten and a half hours in length. Q: Why was the training produced using the DAISY format? A: DAISY provides a very efficient and easy way for users to navigate the audio training. With over 10 hours of training, it is important that users be able to quickly jump from one section to another as well as place bookmarks to allow for easy return to specific sections. Q: Will this training work for someone who is new to using the VoiceOver on a touch screen device like an iPad(r) or iPhone(r)? A: Yes! The training starts with the very basics of using a touch screen iOS device and then progresses through topics that build on one another to provide a solid foundation of skills needed for using an iOS device as well as VoiceOver. The goal is to take someone from a very beginner level and progress them forward to a much higher skill set. Q: Will this training be beneficial for someone who already knows the fundamentals of VoiceOver and iOS? A: Yes! While the training starts with the very basics, it also includes many topics that would be considered to be at a more intermediate or advanced level. The great thing is that the user can easily skip over sections they are already familiar with.
