Did you see flash on my phone!? This means someone recently messaged me. If you don’t have this set up, I can show you how to use this next Thursday.
iPhones have many other access features I can show you how to use. For example, live captions, sound and name recognition and sensory alerts.
If you are at cafe when someone speaks your name, this can show up on your phone. Android phones have different features.
Now, I’ll show you what name recognition could look like for the name Jane.
Here’s another way you could use live captions. See my typed question, “When the train will arrive?” You could present this to someone who may speak in response and use live captions to transcribe what they’ve said. Take a look!
I will show how to use these features on 22 October 10-11:30am at Deaf Victoria. I am excited to show you how to use them. See you soon, bye! ...
