iPhone/iPad VoiceOver: Notification Center

Hello, my name is Douglas Walker. We've all heard our device dinging and pinging. Well, most likely what we're hearing are all of our notifications. Well, today we're gonna be exploring our notifications center. In our notifications center, we'll find notifications from our recent emails, our recent text messages, all of our missed calls, and any other app notifications that we might have received which is really cool. So let's go ahead and check it all out.

Now, if we have an iPhone without a home button, we'll need to use our single-finger drag-down gesture. And once we feel our second vibration and hear our little audio cue, VoiceOver will announce: Lift for notifications, and we'll simply lift our finger. Otherwise, if we have a home button, we'll touch in our status bar and then we'll perform our three-finger swipe down.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you: your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry: everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we're just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on, plus it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to experts like me. Now, where were we?
