National Braille Press has released Twenty-One iPhone Apps We Can't Live Without, its fourth iPhone guide for blind and visually impaired people.
The book, co-written by Judy Dixon and Doug Wakefield, profiles 21 iOS apps -- including several relating to travel -- designed to increase independence and quality of life. Most of the apps are free; none costs more than $2.00.
Apps profiled include: Amazon Mobile, Big Oven, DropVox, Taxi Magic, and VizWiz, which enables users to take pictures, ask questions, and get fast answers about their surroundings and objects in it, e.g. is this can green beans or dog food?
The booklet also covers how to navigate the App Store to buy, download, and update apps.
The book assumes users have an iTunes account and are familiar with the iPhone and the VoiceOver screen reader.
Twenty-One Apps We Can't Live Without costs $9.00 and is available in braille, web braille (CD or download), Microsoft Word (CD or download), and in DAISY CD format.
You can order the book from the National Braille Press website.
