You know what I'd like, just one extra button on a phone that can toggle between INVERSION VIEW and NORMAL VIEW. Because nomrally you have to be in a dark theme or rock inversion view, but then you get one app made right with white text on a black background, only inversion view flips it, and you need a button to flip it while youre in it, and ten flip back. Just one dedicated button toggle screen inversion. And there should already be a special extra button on eevery phone, you could custom assign to anything. But there's not. AN F1 if you will.
Oh I actually have the answer to this if you have an iphone- Solution one: I'm not entirely sure if this solution works but solution two definitely does, but there's an option on your phone to set certain accessability options on your phone to turn on and off if you triple tap the home button if you have one. It's a different trigger if you don't but I have a home button so I don't know it. Solution two: you turn on assistive touch on your phone and set it to triple tap on/off and when it's on you can turn on and off any accessability options by voice (it's also a pretty helpful tool to partially sighted people)
@@alissapace4290 thanks for the brainstorming. You xan sortbof do the same in android but a dedicated button wpuld be blazing fast and super convenient.

This is such a hilarious expectation! 😂😂😂 I’d never think this in a million years! I’m sighted, but dyslexic, & I heavily use Siri to text and read it out loud before sending it! Especially when driving, because I can’t touch my phone. There’s a lot of assistive technology available!
The amazing part is how fast your hearing comprehension is!!! It’s just straight amazing that you can understand that voice going SO FAST!!! Lol I’m hard of hearing so I’m always asking people to talk slower, louder, and to enunciate. Sounds just sometimes blend together but it’s not considering deafness until a certain point so I just have to ask people to talk clearer instead of any other aids
I taught my mom (visually impaired - we both have EDS) to use text to speech to read the long texts her friend sends her. My mom still has enough sight to see with the large print and other accessibility features I set up on her iPhone. But reading long texts especially in the evenings was way too tiring and difficult. She also loves that Siri announces who's calling so she knows if she wants to pick up (if she's having a bad IBS symptom day) or if she can let it go to voicemail and call back when she's feeling better - or not so busy.
Sighted person; “hey Siri, read Mr. Hanson‘s email“. Sighted person; “Alexa, order more laundry detergent“. Sighted person; “hey google, Give me directions to the nearest Starbucks”. Sighted person walking down the street, sees blind person walking with a cane or guide dog and holding a smart phone; “Wow, look at that person pretending to be blind, blind people can’t use smart phones if they can’t see them! “
Knew a guy in college (when phones still had number pads and keyboards) who was the fastest texter I’ve ever met - he was blind and he would have the phone read his incoming messages aloud and then type back a response lightning fast! I trained myself to type on my number pad without looking so I could text as fast as he did!
What voice typer you using that's so accurate I once tried to tell my friend "Take meds" with voice typing it came out as "take meth" I stopped my work to laugh for a few minutes
And before smartphones you could just feel the numbers before smartphones I used to be able to text while driving and never have to look down.... Now I do have to to make sure AutoVoice didn't say something hilarious
You are absolutely right! That is why as a blind person, I memorized where most of the letters are on the keyboard on my iPhone, so I type on the actual keyboard.

I don't know if you new this but you can change the rotor in your settings on your phone and it will then allow you to text by typing in braille and you use your phone as a little braille keyboard. I sometimes find that using dictation isn't very accurate because it sometimes says the wrong thing and then I have to go back and correct it.

Actually, old school typing classes expected you to learn how to type without ever looking at the keyboard. People are so astonished that a blind person can type, yet most of the best typists know how to do it without looking.
