Carolyn, My books are available in ePub or PDF format. There are step-by-step instructions throughout, both for learning VoiceOver concepts and for using individual apps.

iOS History: Were You There At The Beginning?
Hello! Some of you know me. Some of you don’t. I’ve written six editions of the book, iOS Access for All, and a seventh will probably happen sometime this fall. And I make a bunch of podcasts. But I’m working on something else. And I could use your help. June 19 marks the 10th anniversary of an accessible iOS. It’s the day the iPhone 3GS shipped in the US. To commemorate that milestone, I’m producing an audio project, to be released on June 19, 2019. I’ve interviewed lots of people who were around at the time the iPhone got VoiceOver, and I’m looking to talk with a couple more. I want to record short audio interviews this week. If you’re interested, and one of the descriptions below fits you, please drop me an email at the address below. Again, I really need to do these this week. Here’s who I’m looking for: –people who have used iPhone or iPad in school or college, particularly if you can talk about how that experience was different from your pre-iOS accessibility experiences in education. – women and people of color, especially if you were interested in, or purchased an iPhone/iPod Touch when it first became accessible in 2009, but also if you have a good iOS story to tell, but weren’t in that early wave. – iOS developers – people who use iOS accessibility tools other than VoiceOver – any former Apple folks who can talk about what it was like to work on accessibility there. If you fit one of these categories, please get in touch privately. I’ll talk with as many people as I can, given short time. And either way, watch for the program on June 19. I’ll send a link along to the list. Thanks to all, -shelly Brisbin she...@shelllyspodcast.com -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
Hi Anna, and thanks, Calendar setup on the phone (or iPad) is pretty straightforward. I, too, use Siri to set up an event, though I sometimes need to edit in order to add info to the appointment. Have you worked with multiple calendars? VO won't read the calendar a particular event belongs to, unless you open the event. Nor will it give you a status update when you enable/disable a calendar's visibility. You can make the update, but VO won't tell you whether you're turned the calendar on or off. I really enjoyed your iOS book, by the way. -shelly On Aug 16, 2013, at 10:31 AM, Woody Anna Dresner wrote: > Hi Shelly, > > I use siri to make appointments when I can because it's faster.

Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
Hi all, I'm working on the chapter of my iOS book that covers Apple-provided iOS apps. I've finally come face to face with the conundrum of Calendar app. Realizing that it has some um, accessibility challenges, I want to do the following: --point out instances in which VoiceOver just plain won't work properly --list workarounds for VoiceOver inadequacies --suggest alternatives to the Calendar app; both iOS apps, and accessible Web calendar interfaces --make good recommendations about how to manage calendaring, especially if you're using multiple calendars, or need to interact with shared calendars from an employer, or other group. I have worked through the archives here, and have learned a lot. Now I'm looking for any feedback, or especially effective ways you have found to manage your calendar. No need to address all of the questions I've posed above, just tell me what works for you. Feel free to respond on the list, or to me directly.

New Book: iOS Access for All
Greetings, everyone, I wanted to let you all know about a project I'm working on. I am writing a book about iOS accessibility, called iOS Access for All, Your Comprehensive Guide to Accessibility for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. I'm writing about all accessibility tools in iOS, including VoiceOver, the low vision tools, Sir/voice input, guided access, assistive touch, and features designed for hearing impaired users. I've been writing about technology and the Mac for more than 25 years, and this will be my 13th book. iOS Access for All focuses on teaching you how to use iOS, if you're new, and how to get the most from it if you're not. There will also be a chapter featuring the best third-party apps. I want to include apps that are designed to enhance accessibility, as well as great apps in all categories that happen to do accessibility right. And the app chapter is why I'm writing to this group, even before the book is published. I have reviewed hundreds of software products over the years, but I know that everyone who uses iOS has a different set of favorite apps. I'm looking for feedback about the apps you love and why, and which ones you think blind folks and other iOS users need to know about. It's a big topic. I have started discussions of different app categories on my site, on Facebook, and on Google Plus. Links are below. Please follow the book on your favorite social network, and help me kickstart the conversation there. So far, I've posted about games and navigation apps. I plan to roll out more discussions during the next few weeks, covering productivity, news/information, entertainment, reading, lifestyle, and accessibility apps. There's a link below to my FAQ about the book, but you can also learn more about it from a couple of podcasts where I've been interviewed. I had a great talk with JJ from Blind Bargains and Robert and Allison welcomed me to The Tech Doctor podcast. OK, here are my book links: iOS Access for All http://iosaccessbook.com iOS Access for All: FAQ 2.0: http://www.iosaccessbook.com/ios-access-for-all-faq-2-0/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/iosaccessbook Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/IosAccessForAll Google Plus Community: http://plus.google.com/communities/104191387699677276608 I'm really excited about this book, and hope it will be a useful one-stop shop for anyone interested in accessibility on iOS, particularly for new users. I welcome any feedback you have, so use the social links above, or get in touch via my personal contact info below.
