Imran Vlog 1 An introduction to the iPad and its accessibility features Transcript
Imran
Hi there. My name’s Imran, and I am part of the Online Today team, working with RNIB. I was registered blind three years ago. I suffer from glaucoma.
Some of you might have heard about Apple before. Apart from a very popular fruit, they are the company that make devices like the iPhone and the iPad and the iPod – so basically everything that has an ‘i’ in front of it, Apple is the company that makes it.
Without accessibility features that are built into these devices, I know for a fact I couldn’t do my job. It allows me to get out and about, keep up with what’s happening with public transport, and talk to my team.
The first button I’m going to show you on the iPad is the power button. Now, the power button is in the top right-hand corner of the iPad. It’s a rectangular button. So if you want to turn the iPad on, we find our power button and we press it for four seconds, and now the iPad has turned on. So if you want to turn the iPad off, again you press the power button for four seconds. And then we swipe on the screen from left to right, and the screen is turned off.
So the volume buttons for the iPad are located on the right-hand side of the iPad, near the top. And the top button increases volume and the bottom button decreases volume.
The last button on the iPad is the ‘Home’ button, and this is my favourite button on the iPad – I must press it a hundred times a day, because if I ever get lost or I quickly want to get out of an app, I simply press the ‘Home’ button and it takes me back to the familiar home screen. And the ‘Home’ button is located directly under the screen of the iPad – it’s a circular indentation. So I press the ‘Home’ button and that takes me back to my home screen.
The two main gestures that we use when interacting with the screen of the iPad are tapping and swiping. So the swiping motion – the way I describe this is it’s as if you’re flicking a tiny bit of dirt off the screen. It’s best to avoid using your fingernails and just use the fleshy part of your finger when you’re doing this action.
The second gesture is a tap gesture. Again, if you try to avoid using your fingernails and then you simply tap anywhere on the screen, just with a very light tap, the screen of the iPad is very sensitive, so a very light touch works the best.
If you’d like to learn more about technology, the Online Today team is here to help. Me and my colleagues would love to see you at one of our sessions, or if you’d like a home visit, our team of volunteers are on hand to come and visit you in your home.
If you’d like more information, you can call the RNIB helpline on 0303 123 9999 or visit our website .uk/onlinetoday.
