iPhone/iPad Low Vision: Setting Accessibility Shortcuts

Hello, my name is Douglas Walker. Today we are going to be taking a look at a really simple way for quickly turning on and off some of our most frequently used accessibility features and we will do this by setting up our accessibility shortcut.

Now, once we set up our accessibility shortcut, we can simply just press our power or side button three times. Unless we happen to have a device with a home button, then we'll just press our home button three times instead. And this will quickly turn our favorite accessibility features on and off.

Now we're using our iPad in today's workshop. However, all of this will work pretty much the same, whether we're using our iPad, our iPhone, or even our iPod Touch. All right, our accessibility shortcut setting is currently turned off so let's take a quick look at how to set it all up.

Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your email address, name, 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 are 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 the Hadley team. So now is your chance to sign up and join us.
