My question was, 'While it's great for a person with limited vision, would it work well for a person with dyslexia?'

This and the other VoiceOver gestures make this an amazing device for a person without sight who wants access to the world of print that is available with the iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad and who wants to have the same kind of audio access to the device that they can get using VoiceOver on a Mac computer (or using Window-Eyes or Jaws on the PC), but the special gestures are slow and cumbersome for navigating compared to the standard gestures. Using standard commands (without VoiceOver on) one moves down a page or over a page with a flick of one finger and sees the screen float to the next page, but with Voiceover on the gesture becomes a swipe of three fingers to get the screen to move exactly one page down or over and to hear the page name announced, while it is also visually showing the information. For instance using standard commands (without VoiceOver on) one makes a selection on the screen by touching the button or app icon and seeing the command executed (one tap to select), but with VoiceOver on, a touch selects the icon, voices its name, and waits for the user to either open the icon with a double tap anywhere on the screen or touch another icon or element on the screen (two taps to activate a button, after it has been touched). The VoiceOver gestures require more strokes to make a command. However, these special gestures are more difficult to use.

are changed to give auditory feedback for each gesture, insuring that a person, without sight, can use the device with full knowledge of all information on the windows and full control of commands. Once VoiceOver is turned on, the finger gestures, taps, pinches, and swipes on the touch screen used to navigate through the environment of emails, web pages, news apps, calendars, keyboards, etc. Apple uses the VoiceOver system to cleverly modified the interface of the device to making what has been a visual/touch device into an auditory/touch device. After a number of trips to the local Apple store for trials of the VoiceOver screen reader I saw how well it could work for a person who was not sighted. VoiceOver on iPad, iPhone, & iPod Touch (iOS Devices)ДЄs a long time user of screen readers and VoiceOverВ (VO) on the Mac, I wanted to have a hand held device that would let me do Reading by Listening, but I was skeptical of VoiceOver on the iOS devices. This section will tell about the computers, and hand held gadgets that let slow and inadequate readers use screen readers for reading by listening, at 250 to 350+ words per minute with good comprehension. Now, anyone can read aurally anywhere on any subject at any time with an iPad, laptop or iPod Touch. available at our finger tips from any location that has WiFi.

Over the years the internet has grown into a massive generator of print content with web browsers, email, database services, newspaper articles, Wikipedia, e-books, etc. As a slow and inadequate reader, I could not visually read them while I was in the library and there was no way to read them aurally there.В All that has changed.

I used to go to the University of Tennessee library, copy research articles to a floppy disk, take them home, upload them to my Mac, and read them aurally with my screen reader. The only print I had to read with my screen reader was from documents that I had copied to my computer or documents that I had typed myself, and I was a slow typist. The internet was not developed and there was not a good way of getting print onto the computer for reading. At that time my main source of Reading by Listening material was audio (taped) books and magazines.

With this gadget and software, I could aurally read any text on the computer quickly and easily, reading and rereading anywhere on the screen and reading as fast or slow as I wanted to. I got my first computer, a 'Toaster Mac' and screen reader, outSpoken, in 1989. 10/28/16 Text-To-Speech and Screen Readers Can Make All Our Devices Aural Reading (or Reading by Listening) Devices
