Time To Start Sharing Info Again

I think I've had enough of a break that I'm ready to start sharing information again. 

I was listening to an episode of the Double Tap podcast and heard a message from someone wondering how accessible it is to restore a system image in Windows. I've heard similar messages about apps being accessible in Android, or just Android in general. 

I don't know everything but I've been around awhile and picked up a few things along the way. Not only with technology, but as someone who has been on this big spinning ball for almost 51 years, learned a few things about life. 

I'm going to start sharing here on my blog. The days are gone where I could share that info on Twitter as that is no longer a place I want to be. 

I do post sometimes on Threads but it just doesn't have that same feeling where I can write some step by step directions when that is needed. 

Its Wednesday evening, September 27, 2023 as I'm writing this, so I'll start sharing information again starting on Thursday. 

Steve

Accessible App List For Android

One day this week while listening to the wonderful Double Tap Podcast, I heard feedback from someone disappointed because they weren't successful in finding a good list of accessible Android apps, especially for use on their new Pixel 8 phone. Several years ago I used to post a list of accessible android apps that I was using but I no longer do that. There is a reason for that, accessible means different things to people. Just because something was accessible for me, that doesn't mean it was accessible for any other person. We are all different in the world of disabilities. Some people see nothing, some people have some vision. Some can access apps when color contrast is adjusted, or some may only need to use the magnifier. Some people may be able to use one feature on days when their vision is good, but maybe two days later things may be cloudy for them for a few days. So there is no way I can produce a list of accessible apps that will have any m...

WearOS4 1st Gen Pixel Watch Update

I'm getting the WearOS 4 update on my 1st gen Pixel Watch LTE. Wanted to share some tips for anyone else updating this watch who is blind or low vision. I've been asked to be very patient after the watch restarts. Don't go messing with the watch for about 30 minutes and let it do its thing. So once you check for updates and are told to put the watch on the charger, go find something else to do for awhile.

Raise To Answer

I am just sharing info on an app I use all the time on my phone. Currently that is a Pixel 6 Pro which is still working fine, running Android14. Raise To Answer This app will answer your phone when you lift it to your ear. Its just that simple. If you want, the app will end the call if you place your phone face down on a table. There are other options to explore in the app. I use this app to answer my phone, it works every time. I'm an old school user at times and still use the power button to end a call, you can find that in Accessibility settings. Here is a link to the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.hackerchick.raisetoanswer&hl=en_US&gl=US You can also search for Raise To Answer in your Play Store app. Raise To Answer Sylvia van Os 4.3 746 reviews 100K+Downloads Steve -- Visit my blog blindandroid.me Android, Windows, Blind, Technology, Cancer, Life
