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. CB On 1/15/12 9:40 AM, Eugenia Firth wrote: Hi guys. Yesterday I did my demonstration of the iPhone and the Mac both. I first showed them the YouTube video of

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

Demonstrating the iPhone to a larger audience

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

Hi Mike, You need an IPhone dock to HDMI cable. The cost is about $40 and you can get them online or from a third party apple reseller. The apple store might have it, but of course they'd really prefer you bought an apple TV, laughs. Best, Erik Burggraaf Ebony Consulting toll-free:

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

Thank you, Erik. I will try to get a third-party cable, if it is at all possible. Nice to know that such an animal even exists. :) So once I have this cable, I guess I'd hook it up to a standard video projector? Thanks and all the best, Mike On 13,Jan,2012, at 1:38 PM, erik burggraaf wrote:

Will be doing a presentation on accessibility solutions in April and had similar issues. What I'm playing with and going to try is using a device called an ELMO. It's sort of a camera on stick with a base that outputs VGA video of whatever is underneath it. I'll probably do demos on an iPad

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

From this article it seems that you have to have a jailbroken iPhone4 to get video mirroring to work: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-enable-hdmi-video-mirroring-on-iphone-4-ipod-touch-4g-tutorial/ CB On 1/13/12 9:37 AM, Michael Busboom wrote: Hello Gigi, As far as I know, I will be the

Well, I've only used the cable with an IPad 2, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on any ios device. One of my clients is deaf blind and she uses it for signing to her friends. With her residual vision she can see what her friends are signing over skype on the large tv screen. Best, Erik
