Help for a newly visually impaired iphone user

I'm trying to help my dad who has recently lost most of his central vision. He has an iphone5 and is getting by with the tap and voice over options but I am sure there is more available that could help him? We're about to get him an iphone 6plus and I've read about KNFBreader, is there anything else that could help? Does anyone know if the apple store can help him with set up etc?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!

Hi Jane9656,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to know about the different Accessibility features the iPhone offers for vision impairment. There are several features built in that I would suggest reading about. Please refer to the attached link for information about the iPhone’s wide range of Accessibility features.

Best regards,
Joe

  • How to provide F1 & F4 helps for a newly created field.

    I have to create a <b>currency field</b> in 0100 screen like skb1-waers.
    I have to provide F1 & F4 helps for that field.
    Shall I give screen name as SKB1-WAERS ?
    I have given as above .
    But the problem is when the Processor is processing a that screen , the currency on the screen gets overwritten by  another the reference account field  in one of the subroutine.  Since the screen uses fieldname skb1-waers, it gets overwritten when my code read skb1 table.
    Was it right that I used screen name as SKB1-WAERS ( in my screen attributes for that field ) ???
    If not suggest me what to do and how to proceed ?
    YOUR HELP IS APPRECIATED.

    Hi,
    I would suggest creating a new structure in the DDIC..Then give the field WAERS and give the foreign key table as TCURC..
    Steps
    GO to SE11...select the radio button ..data type... give the structure name...Z_SCREEN_0100.
    Press create ..
    Then give the column name WAERS..
    Give the data element as TCURC.
    Place the cursor on the waers field and press the foreign key button..
    It would automatically propose the table TCURC..
    copy and generate the structure..
    use the structure-fieldname to define the currency field..
    Go to the input field attributes..
    give Z_SCREEN_0100-WAERS..Press enter..It will ask whether the field should be dictionary reference..Press yes to continue..
    In the PBO..
    Move the value from the SKB1 table to the screen structure Z_SCREEN_0100-WAERS
    Thanks,

  • Help for a new mac-garage band user-m audio pro setting imput

    garage band help says click on preferences, but the preferences menu only will come up at start of project--then can only set audio output to m audio pro-audio imput is blank--so internal mike is usued not imput from m audio.
    Somehow I managed to get it to work for one song--headphones from m audio montored tracks-guitar recorded using amp sims--been trying for hours to repeat that but only internal mike now will work.

    You should be able to open garageband preferences
    anytime. Are you sure your looking under Garageband >
    Preferences.
    And what interface are you using, is it the Fast
    Tracks Pro?
    Yes fast tracks pro--I finnaly was able to go to preferences when I exited garage band and openend it up again,but when I was working on the song and clicked on preferences it would not come up

  • Help for a not so smart computer user on Time Mach and hard drive

    Am sure this is a simple solve but I have tried everything so hoping someone out there can stop me from more frustration.
    Am running time capsule with no problem. Bought a Seagate Free Agent portable drive which I want to use to store all my photos and delete them out of IPhoto. Sooo loaded the pics and all my ITunes music onto portable drive and started to delete all my pics in Iphoto (trying to clean up my computer a bit) so after deleting over 2000 photos...went into the Seagate hard drive and they were no longer on that hard drive either. Thank goodness for time capsule I restored them all but still cant get them off of my computer and onto only the Seagate hard drive. I went into Time Machine preferences and set it so it does not back up to the Seagate drive only the TM drive.....am I missing some other step or something to stop it from acting like an extension of time machine instead of a totally separate drive. All I want to do is copy all my photos on to drive and delete them off the computer. Even if I unplug it while I am deleting once I plug it back into the firewire connection it will delete anything I deleted in IPhoto. I tried connecting it usb and does the same thing.
    Thought I could resolve this myself but after two days of reading the boards I could use a little help here.
    Thanks so so much

    HI Toni,
    Run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
    See if that makes a difference.

  • Prompt for Apple ID of another iphone user appears when purchasing apps

    When I try to purchase an app, the Apple ID that appears & the password asked for in the prompt is for my boyfriend's phone & not mine. We both have iphones (mine is a 4, his a 4s).

    Sounds like you are logged into the AppStore under your boyfriend's ID. Log out,
    and then log back in using your AppleID and password.

  • Why does the default theme for firefox 4 only work with add-ons such as personas? It will allow me to preview an alternative theme with a persona but won't let me apply it without switching to the default. No option for disabled and visually impaired.

    Firefox 4 will no longer allow me to use a theme (other than the default) with a Persona. When I "try on" a skin, FF4 allows me to ''preview'' the theme with the persona but will not allow me to ''apply'' the persona without '''automatically''' switching my chosen theme (disorganizing my menu's, bookmarks, and tool-bars) back to the default. Firefox 4 also begins to load an all-default setting browser when it is first opened slowing my browsing start up. All issues were not experienced before the Mozilla Firefox 4.0 upgrade.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

  • Great news for Novation Remote SL / Automap iPhone users

    Does it work with your Mk I or Mk II? I find with my Mk I SL 37 that it does work with all the Logic plugins but the workflow is still kind of quirky. I still need to change templates from 38(Instruments) to 39(Mixer/Transport) to use the unit. It's not bad, just quirky. I'm wondering if it works better with the MK II. Anyone know? Do you still need to switch templates or can everything be done from the MKII control panel...ie. using the Transport and Mixer buttons on the unit to get direct control of those functions?

  • F4 help for Cost Center in SRM 7.0

    Hi,
      My requirement is to display customized F4 help for the Cost Center(i.e. user specific search help maintained in Z table) field during the creation of the Shopping Cart.
      I've created my own Search Help, and I'm looking for a BADI which will fit in my reuirement.
      So far I've tried BADI 'BBP_DRIVER_DETREMINE ' for the same, but it's not getting called for providing F4 help. 
      Thanks in advance.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hello all,
    This is to correct my posting on Nov 16, 2009 8:20 AM. I have done further research and testing and finally got the multiple GL working. I have to remove the authorisation for object BBP_FUNCT on activity BE_FE_HELP to disable the serach help function. This way, the user will see the allowed list of GLs instead of a search help.
    Regards

  • Text messages stall when sending to other iPhone users from my iPhone5- recently started, how to get the texts to go through instantly?

    Recently, after updating for i0S7, when texting other iPhone users, my texts never go through.  However, if I hold on the test it will give me the option to "send as a text message" and will send immediately (with the green message, unlike the blue that use to send to iPhone users).  How can I get these text messages to go immediately?

    Reset your network settings:
    1) Turn off iMessage
    2) Reset network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Netwok Settings
    3) Turn iMessage back on
    Note: resetting your network settings will delete any stored WiFi passwords.
    Best of luck.

  • Attaching F1 help for the tcode.

    Hello Dear,
    I want add f1 help for tcode of bdc. so when user clicks on help button he will get information of how excelsheet will look like.
    Please guide me in doing that. when we run that t-code, on initial screen when we press help (f1) button lookin like (?), that should give me t-code info.
    Thank u.

    the standard way of doing it is just to create a documentation for the program behind the transaction.
    in SE38 select "Documentation" radiobutton and click on "change" button
    when you run the program, if a documentation exists then an icon "I" (information) appears in the toolbar, click on it to see the help
    now if you want to display help when clicking on another icon (for example the Help) then you have to change the status in SE41 so that the user-command of this icon corresponds to the "I" button - this is user-command "DOCU"

  • Bugs in Snow Leopard for visually impaired users

    I'm new to Mac (MBP 17 inch 2011 model) coming to Mac for first time from Windows.  I am VERY impresseed with the accessibility options that are built into the OS.  However, I ahve found a few bugs that I feel should be addresed in the next release:
    1.  With magnifcation on, the screen will no scroll at all when the application switcher (pressing the Apple+TAB, i.e. ALT+TAB in Windows).  This makes it absolutely impossible to see which appplications are open and which one currently has the focus.  If VoiceOver is enables, it will speak it to you, but you can't scroll the screen to see for yourself.
    2.  In Safari, with maginfication on, if you try to scroll down a page (i.e. the two-finger scroll), you will IMMEDIATELY be taken back to the top of the page.  This makes it absolutely impossible to scroll down a page with magnifier on.  I really want to use Safari because of its tight integration with VoiceOver (you can highlight text, right click, select speach, and it will read it for you).  But, I really need the ability to scroll.  I use bother Magnifier and VoiceOver.  Firefox doesn't have this problem with scrolling, but it doesn't integrate with VoiceOver.
    I'll report more issues related to visually impaired users as I become more familiar with mac and Snow Leopard.  But, I will have to say that I am EXTREMELY impressed with the accessibility options already built into the OS.  In Windows, I would have to pay over $1K extra to get JAWS or $700 for ZoomText, both of which can bring Windows to its knees.
