VoiceOver Walkthrough on the Apple iPod Touch 4th Gen

VoiceOver on iPod Touch 4th Gen

I recently updated my mp3 player from one I could no longer read and that didn’t talk to me to an iPod Touch that talks to me and I can talk back to it. I was already familiar with VO because I have a Mac computer and the family use an iPad but I thought I would do a really basic walkthrough with some of the functions on an iPod Touch in the video above..

I hope it helps and if you have any questions or queries relating to VoiceOver on any iDevice  or you want to see a specific VO thing on an Apple Mac Mini, iPod Touch 4th or iPad leave a comment and I’ll do my best.

I Have This Affect On Technology…

My Macbook has no memory.
It’s getting old poor thing, I think I may have to replace it. 
But I don’t have the money for a brand new one or even a refurbished one.
I’ve been researching and reading/watching reviews for the iPad 2.
It looks promising, the only thing I’m concerned about is Photobooth and iMovie. Since creating my youtube channel I’ve been making videos on Photobooth and editing them in iMovie. From what I see and hear on the reviews, it doesn’t sound like the Photobooth App on the iPad 2 has video, only still images. I know I can create videos in iMovie, or I used to be able to on my macbook, but I don’t know if you can do that on iMovie on the iPad either. 
It would be a considered purchase, my parents are offering to help me out and put it towards my Birthday and Christmas present. But I want to be sure it does everything I think it will before we go ahead. 


I haven’t seen one in a shop to pick it up and play around with. A Google search tells me PC World (UK) has a ‘buy now pay 2012′ deal going on for the iPad 2. But when I go to the store online I see nothing about it. 


At the moment I can just go online but I can’t open programmes properly or save anything. I’ve gone through and deleted everything I know I can and emptied the trash but the memory is still a problem. I think the new OS just finished it off, we thought it might. But I needed the new OS for my Braillepen12 to work. It doesn’t work on Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, it needs Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard as a minimum. I know my Braillepen12 will work on the iPad, as the guy I bought my Braillepen12 from uses his on it. But I don’t suppose he makes youtube videos. 


It always feel like one step forward 10 steps back, when concerning technology and my ever increasing need to get further aids. Sometimes I just wish I was out of transition. The journey was at it’s end. So that I could just by the final products and be done with it. 25 years in transition is long enough.
