Can you post a link? I'm facilitating an accessibility presentation in
in April and I think that would be a good starter as well.

Hi guys.
Yesterday I did my demonstration of the iPhone and the Mac both. I first showed
them the YouTube video of Steve Jobs introducing VoiceOver. I figured he was
better at showing the introduction of what it did than I was any day of the
year. The only problem was I couldn't get the volume to go up more, but
everybody got real quiet and I think they heard it ok. I wish now I had shown
the picture on the Mac and then let the speech come out of the iPhone. They had
a device for amplifying speech and it worked with both the iPhone and the
computer; it was just YouTube that was the problem. I think I could have
controlled the volume better on the iPhone.
Then I put up the help menu just so they could see the options. Of course, I
didn't read all that, but it was up there. I have a braille display, so I wrote
some braille on it in TextEdit.
Then I let them turn on their iPhones in VoiceOver since most of them had them.
They liked putting in my name as a contact. One person had some trouble, so i
had to set his phone on touch typing, but everybody else was ok. These are
experienced iPhone users. In fact, most of them are experienced Mac users as
well.
I got some really good questions, and they have asked me to put in information
from time to time on accessibility. I told them that all of them could help
with this by learning some VoiceOver and checking out some of their apps with
it. I think some of them will just because they like to mess with computers.
Maybe this will help to get some of our sighted friends to turn in comments
about accessibility when they write up reviews. It can't hurt.
Regards,
Gigi

From this article it seems that you have to have a jailbroken iPhone4 to get
video mirroring to work:

Hello Gigi,
As far as I know, I will be the only blind person in the audience.
You did bring up one issue, however, that could conceivably be a show stopper.
I have an iPhone 4, not a 4S. Does this mean that I won't be able to project
my phone's screen onto something larger?
Take care and good luck with your own demo!

Hi Michael.
I am about to do this tomorrow here in Dallas to the Apple Corps of Dallas. I
am also going to show the Mac. The Apple ?Corps has its own big screens and its
own Wi-Fi. Almost all of them have iPhones and iPads. Only one other person in
the room besides me is blind.
Although it will increase some chatter in the room, I am going to show them how
to turn on VoiceOver on their iPhones and do some activities like add my name
into their contacts and whatever fun things we want to do. I know they can
cheat a little by looking at the keyboard, but it will show them some. I am
also going to show them how to do the practice screen in VoiceOver.
I thought about doing this because I wa told that my 4 iPhone could not do
video but the 4S can. I can't get one of them until later this month. Do your
audience have iPhones?

Gigi

Dear listers,
In two months, I will be visiting my family in the U.S. While there, I will be
doing a demonstration of access technology for blind people. While it won't be
difficult to demo screen reader techniques on a Mac, I am still not sure how to
demo VO on an iPhone. Most of the people in my audience will be sighted, and
they will want to see what is going on on the screen while I work with the
unit. Does anyone have any ideas on how I might be able to project the image
of the iPhone screen onto a large wall screen so that people could see what was
happening on the phone as I used it?
Many thanks,
Mike
