I Am Free! ๐Ÿ˜€

Hi WordPress family! I just wanted to update you on the WordPress app and how i can now use it properly on my iPhone!

In case youโ€™re wondering why all of a sudden youโ€™ve started seeing my likes and little picture thingy on your postsโ€ฆItโ€™s because i can now use the reader on my iPhone using voiceover screenreader. I have waited ages(years i think) to be able to do this as i canโ€™t use the website reader very well at all. So now i am free to go crazy and read all of the blogs iโ€™ve missed spending time on! ๐Ÿ˜€ย 

Iโ€™m trying to catch up on as many posts and blogs that i can, and iโ€™m also finding lots of new onesโ€ฆItโ€™s fantastic for me and i have finally been set free on this app!

The Sound Of My Eyes! – Repost ๐Ÿ˜€

Wow, i canโ€™t believe itโ€™s been 7 years since i posted this! I thought iโ€™d repost as i think it could be interesting to the many more fantastic people who have followed this blog in the last 7 years. ๐Ÿ˜€ย 

A curious blogger asked me a fantastic question “Do you have a support worker or a friend to read these posts & comments to you? Or is there some other way?”

As my sight is too poor to read print, i use the built in synthetic voices on my iMac to read aloud every post, comment, scripture, quote & prayers. I made a short video so you can hear some of the different voices and get a little insight of how technology can be used to help blind people stay connected and share fellowship with you great people!

Please comment below with any thoughts and questionsโ€ฆIโ€™d love to answer them, no matter how random! ๐Ÿ˜€ย
