I think that everything that he wants to do is very doable. It would be quite a project for someone to take on for him. If it is a popular hymnbook it may well be a welcome blessing/gift of love for many others as well if made available. As I would envision the project it would require either the sacrifice of a copy of the hymnal or the availability of a loose leaf version of the hymnal, so that the individual pages could be taken apart and scanned. The scanned pages could then be assembled into a pdf document that is easily readable on many apps available for the iPad. Better still would be to research if the publishers of the hymnal have not already created an electronic version of the book in pdf format. If the publisher has not already crossed this bridge, then their permission would legally need to be secured before starting such a project of copying their compilation of hymns. Even though they may not own the rights to an old hymn which is now in the public domain, they hold the rights to the layout and composition of the printed pages of their hymnal.
The Accessibilty settings in the iPad itself is capable of enlarging text for the visually impaired, as well as providing white text on a black background.

Is the 'Undercover' app the best app for the job ?

Hi,
Is the 'Undercover' app the best app for help finding a lost iPhone/Touch or is there an app that does a better job ?
Thanks

Short of getting MobileMe that is probably the best you are going to come up with. You will have to hope that whoever finds the iPhone actually plays the game and that you check for this information close to the time they do so. You also need to hope they don't connect the iPhone to their computer which will wipe the app from the device.

What is the the best app for the x?

just got the droidx and want to know in your opinion what the best app or apps are and please explain what the do. and what are the must have apps for the phone as far as getting the most out of my device?

I don't have my phone with me now,so have to think of the apps off my head.
aTrackdog= Uninstall apps & also you can see the top 100 most popular apps in the market
Basketball shot= Fun fun basketball game. You just shoot basketballs into a net while being timed
Labyrinth 3D= It's a 3d board game with a marble. You have to avoid the holes & make it to the end spot
Carrom3D= Another game,but it's a pool game. You can play with your friends, by yourself or other android users
Where's My Droid= If you put your phone on silent & need to find it, you can just text your phone with the secret word.It'll ring with this app!
SMS Backup= Saves your text messages to your sd card
1001 cocktails= Alcoholic drink recepies available
HI AIM= I like this app because it uses data as instant messaging instead of it counting towards your text messages
HandcentSMS= The most popular messaging app. It has more feautes to offer (change front,change color,change buble color...etc)
Ringdroid= Create ringtones. Either record ringtones or make ringtones out of the songs in your phone
Ringo Lite= Apply ringtones to text messages or calling ringtones (can be applied to contacts too)
The most "needed" apps I would say get would be where's my droid, sms back up, hi aim, handcent sms and ringdroid

Feature Request: Guide for the visually impaired.

If this is in the works, then great, if not please consider.
I have family members whereby their eye-sight is far from perfect. Their major problem is reading a small font size. Even on HD TV's and large 32" CRT TV's, they still struggle reading the guide.
It would be great if FiOS can implement a version of the guide with a larger font thats spaced a bit more between letters, and a contrast scheme that would help those visually impaired see the listings better.
Maybe sit down and test configurations with those that are visually impaired and design a version of the guide that can be more comfortably read.

Hi Copota!! Good to hear from you again, thank you for that suggestion I will definitely pass it on. At this present time we cant enlarge the font on the guide, we do offer half screen or full screen guide options and when you select the show in the guide we bring that item slightly forward so that it stands out amongst the others. Thank you for your suggestion, they are appreciated.

Accessibility for the visually Impaired - food for thought

Experts,
Some food for thought:
From a technical perspective, all I can imagine of as a solution to deliver accessible applications to visually impaired users of SAP, is an orchestrated screen design and cursor flow with complete keyboard navigability and minimum or zero click sensitivity.
Have TTS/speech driven navigation or other alternatives been introduced in SAP already? If yes, what are the steps to be performed to harness the same in a typical SAP ERP Installation. Please enlighten me.
Also, if you think this post is in the wrong forum, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? The new black-on-white color scheme is more difficult to see and use for the visually impaired.

Is there a way to switch back to the old color scheme for the keypad? After upgrading to ios 6, the keypad switched to a black-on-white color scheme. I have a severe visual impairment and found the previous white-on-black color scheme much easier to see and use.
The inverted colors option doesn’t make things look all that better. My dad, who does not have any serious vision problems, has put off upgrading his iphone because of the color scheme changes.

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

How do I convert an Adobe pdf file with sound assist for the visually impaired to use the keyboard to play audio?

I am trying to convert an Adobe pdf article file with a play button to an iTunes or other accessible file for people with visual impairments. The file has been converted to a format that has a play button; however, the computer does not have a keyboard stroke that leads to the play button. In other words, the play button isn't integrated into the accessible format; only sighted people can access the play button. The individual is using an Apple laptop.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks!

Insertion point thickness--help for the visually impaired

I experience difficulty in seeing the blinking 'insertion point' bar or carat.
I have increased the size of the cursor and I beam using the preference panel controls. I can see these clearly.
It would help if I could make the 'insertion point' thicker and increase the rate of blink. (I know its height is fixed by the point size of the font used).
I have looked at the Mighty Mouse software which allows you to customise cursors but not the 'insertion point'.
Grateful for help, advice, or guidance as to a way of solving this problem.
Many thanks

Malcolm,
Thank you for your speedy reply.
Much appreciated. Have looked at these products and they look great. Sadly they don't appear to address the 'insertion bar' point that I'm seeking to solve.
Even so thank you for responding to my cry for help.
Best wishes

Itunes on XP for the visually impaired

I got an Ipod for Christmas and have downloaded the itunes software (7.0.2 I think).
I'm partially sighted and use XP's high vis settings (found by pressing left hand Alt-Shift and the Printscreen keys together). With most software, this increases the fonts and reverses font colours so I can read them white on black.
I can't do this with itunes and can't find any settings to do this within the software itself. It is virtually impossible for me to read any detail from the itunes front-end as it is and I cannot believe that Apple don't have any advice to give on this issue.
Can anyone out there help please?
Many thanks
Martin

Go to Edit -> Preferences.
Under the General tab, there should be a couple of drop down boxes marked "Source Text" and "Song Text". Change those both to large.

Does Tiger offer capabilities for the visually impaired?

Hopefully I am posting this in the right forum...
I made a movie of a get together (with titles, transitions, audio, etc) and would like to give a copy of the DVD to a blind friend. Obviously, he won't be able to "watch" the movie, but I thought it'd be nice if I could "enhance" it for him with having the titles, transitions, and clips explained in words like a (short) running commentary. Would this be possible? I checked speech recognition, but it seems all it does is recognize certain commands.

Hi Barbara!
I did a quick google search for you and, without it answering your question, came up with this interview:
