‎MCT Money Reader (iOS/iPadOS, Free With In-App Purchases)

MCT Money Reader instantly identifies some currencies and transfers the result to the user via text to speech. This application complies with accessibility standards for visually impaired or blinded persons who can quickly and easily identify and count the banknotes. No internet connection is required for this use, the application is working offline. The recognition takes place in less than 1 second under normal conditions. The phone flash works to allow it to be used in dark surroundings.

The recognized banknotes are: US dollar, Euro, Turkish lira, Russian ruble, Japanese yen, Chinese yuan, Indonesian rupee, Pakistan rupee, Mexican pesos, Colombian peso, Philippines pesos, South Korean won, Egyptian pound, Azerbaijan manat, Polish zloty, Swedish krona, Iranian rial , Vietnamese dong, Ukrainian hryvnia, Saudi Arabia riyali, Thai baht

The app will redirect you with a tone of audible tone when you search for the banknote. There is also a counter to collect the amount of money you introduce in practice. Because of the surfaces of some banknotes are very similar to each other, it is useful to display the other surface of the banknote as long as the application's banknote recognition period is extended. In general, the introduction of both surfaces of the banknote will be the most healthy way.

MCT Money Reader supports various languages such as English, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Korean, Swedish, Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, Urdu, Arabic, Persian, Filipino, Thai, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Azerbaijani and Turkish.

Apple Releases iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2; Bringing Many Bug Fixes for Blind and Low Vision Users

By AppleVis | October 28, 2019

Apple has today released iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2 to the public. In addition to bringing some new features - including some originally slated for the initial iOS 13 release - these releases bring fixes for a large number of the bugs that iOS 13.0 and iOS 13.1 and iPadOS 13.1 introduced for blind and low vision users.

One Change of Note

In iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2, Apple has made one change that may initially have you believe that something is broken.

The Context menu item has been removed from the VoiceOver rotor's Actions menu and replaced with a new gesture: a one-finger triple- tap. Our assumption is that this change has been made to address the problem where this item would be present in the Actions menu when on UI elements which didn't actually have a Context Menu. Regrettably, this change does make it harder to discover which UI elements do have Context menus - one must use a mix of experience, educated guesswork, and trial and error.

If you would prefer to have a different gesture to access the Context menu, you can change it by going to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Commands > Touch Gestures.

Bug Fixes for Blind and Low Vision Users

Our testing suggests that the following pre-existing accessibility bugs have been resolved in iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2:

If Catalyst Apps Are the Future of Mac Software, the Future Currently Doesn't Look Too Bright for VoiceOver Users

By David Goodwin | October 11, 2019

In its recent “deep dive” in to Mac Catalyst, Ars Technica reported that Apple and developers they spoke with considered Catalyst apps to be “the future of Mac software”. If my early experience is anything to go by, Apple still has much to do if VoiceOver users are to be included in that future.

If you are unfamiliar with Mac Catalyst, it's new from Apple with the release of macOS Catalina and essentially enables developers to quickly and easily create Mac versions of their existing iPad apps.

According to Apple's developer website, developers need only check a box to select the Mac as a supported device when viewing their iPad project in Xcode.

By checking this box, Apple's Xcode software will do much of the ‘heavy lifting’ in regard to porting an iPad app to macOS: it will automatically create a default menu bar; add support for trackpad, mouse, and keyboard input; add support for window resizing and full-screen display; enable Mac-style scroll bars; add support for copy-and-paste and drag-and-drop; and add support for system Touch Bar controls.

Apple's vision is that by automating so much of what's required, developers can focus their time on adding desktop-specific features to their apps:

Your newly created Mac app runs natively, utilizing the same frameworks, resources, and runtime environment as apps built just for Mac. Fundamental Mac desktop and windowing features are added, and touch controls are adapted to the keyboard and mouse. Custom UI elements that you created with your code come across as-is. You can then continue to implement features in Xcode with UIKit APIs to make sure your app looks great and works seamlessly.

As both a Mac and iPad user, this is a vision that I can readily buy in to - the prospect of being able to use the same apps across both platforms is extremely appealing; as is the thought of having a much greater selection of apps available on my Mac.

Regrettably, my early experience suggests that Mac Catalyst currently does not deliver when it comes to ensuring that macOS versions of an app offer the same level of accessibility and user experience as they do on iPad.

Aftershokz Aeropex Are the Company's Most Refined Bone Conduction Headphones Yet, but Lack the Volume to Satisfy All Use Cases

By David Goodwin | October 31, 2019

I've been using AfterShokz bone conduction headphones since 2013 and they are a regular companion on my daily walks, allowing me to listen to music, podcasts, books, and VoiceOver while still being able to hear traffic and whatever else is going on around me.

The $159 Aftershokz Aeropex are the company's smallest, sleekest, lightest, and most advanced bone conduction headphones yet. They are well-designed, have good build quality, and are extremely comfortable to wear.

In nearly all regards these are the best bone conduction headphones I've used to date. The only regression I experienced over the older AfterShokz Trekz Titanium, is that they don't perform as well in particularly noisy environments.

If your own use case doesn't involve noisy environments (such as walking alongside busy roads), then I would highly recommend the Aeropex. Otherwise, despite being slightly bulkier and less refined, the Trekz Titanium might be a better choice at just $79.

A Beginner's Guide to Using macOS with VoiceOver

By Tyler | October 14, 2019

If you’re new to the Mac, learning and mastering the VoiceOver screenreader can seem daunting at first. In an attempt to streamline the search for essential getting started information across the AppleVis website, I will provide a series of tips, along with links to more comprehensive guides and podcasts, organized by heading and subheading.

From personal experience, I have found that one of the most effective ways to learn a new screenreader is to read documentation with another more familiar one. For example, you could start reading this guide on iOS, Android or Windows, gradually try various things on the Mac, and finally, see how you do relying on VoiceOver in addition to or in place of your other screenreader.

FYI. I sent email to Victor and today in his podcast talk about accessibility and issues with voiceover and applevis.com Check it out. He stated he might use voiceover for a week to see our problems. Thanks to Bella the cat who suggested I mail Victor. I will send him an email saying thanks.

Personally I disagree with Decision Fiction being on here. I could barely figure it out and deleted it about five minutes after downloading. It's really not as accessible as the entry says.
