Seuss’ Sneetches, I now had a star on my belly. To stay in the club, I proceeded to download all the cool apps that my coworkers were using.

Then came the big, yet short-lived, disappointment – many apps are only partially accessible for low vision use. What do I mean by that? In many cases, the app developer has failed to properly name all of the buttons that appear in the app. So when you place your finger on a button, instead of VoiceOver identifying the actual purpose of the button, it will simply say “Button”.

For example, in the app called “Places”, I cannot select the “Coffee” button versus the “Bars” button because VoiceOver does not distinguish between the two – they’re both read aloud as “button”.

If you’re holding your phone upright, ZoomReader will announce “Portrait,” if you move it so it’s facing sideways, it will say “Landscape.” If you’re in the wrong orientation, you might take a picture upside down, which won’t OCR correctly. Manually focus the camera. You can do this by tapping anywhere in the middle of the screen, do this right before you take the image.

When taking a picture, you may have a tendency to move the phone, keep two hands on the device holding it as still as you can prior to tapping the take picture icon. Continue reading to check out the tips for taking pictures of specific types of items.
