Identifying Money

[Ricky] Hi, I'm Ricky Enger and today, we're gonna check out how to use an app along with the camera on our phone to identify bills. No, not the annoying kind. Today, we're talking money. With this app, we can avoid that embarrassing and sometimes, costly mistake of handing over what should have been a $5 bill, but turns out to be a 20 instead. Yeah, this app is really cool.

We're using VoiceOver in this workshop to do everything on our phone without looking at the screen. If you'd rather do things on your Apple device without using VoiceOver, check out our series on using Seeing AI with Low Vision. And if you're using Android, we have a couple series just for you as well. Now, if you're checking out these workshops and you've not used VoiceOver much before, it may help to get a little more familiar with it before you dive into this series. And hey, we've got you covered with a great group of workshops on learning everything you need to know to get up to speed with VoiceOver.

We're gonna jump right in and start reading some money, but if you haven't had a chance to explore the app a little bit and get familiar with it, we do that very thing in our workshop on exploring the app. So yeah, go ahead and check out that one first if you haven't already.

[Narrator] 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'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 the Hadley team. So, now is your chance to sign up and join us.
