+Trilltrill 24 Actually, one main reason is that a lot of your phone is constant: the names of things, the orders of things,... and we start aro be able to recognize what stuff is within the first sylable. So it just makes sense to speed it up. I organized my phone into folders and alphebetically so that I barely have to listen at all.
+Trilltrill 24 Yeah it's easy to figure out the order of things on the screen. I can see a little, so I can look too if I want but I can't read print. If you have any more questions, I'm here.
Embrace it! Use it to your advantage! You will be able to depend more on hearing and learn people's voices! Don't let it be a bad thing! It makes You You! Don't give up! Same goes for you, Molly!
The amount of people saying “she doesn’t look blind” is hilarious. What exactly is a blind person supposed to look like?? There are sooo many different types of blindness and many of them don’t effect the physical appearance of the eyes. Just because she doesn’t look or act the exact way you expected, doesn’t mean she’s lying! As with anyone who faces a challenge, she has adapted to living without her sight and many of the things you believe are impossible for her to do, are more than possible with a little ingenuity. Before leaving a comment do a little research or watch a few of her videos. She actually answers a lot of the commonly asked questions and explains how she does a lot of things. How about letting this video inspire you and teach you something about he world rather than just spreading more negativity around!
It’s frustrating. People always tell me I don’t look blind either. Also since so many joke about ‘being blind’ many think I’m also joking when I mention it.
Wow, I really dislike apple products in general, but this looks amazing for blind people I love it how apple have put time into this technology for you guys.
Won't get that on a windows phone :/ #applelife Seriously I've used voice-over on people's Fisher Price-I mean Samsung and Leapfrog-I mean Lg phones and it SUCKS! They can't even pair with a braille display!
Adam Wilkinson apple is the best but most people don't like it for gaming cause you can't hack and stuff but apple is good but it's also a lot of money and way more expensive then other phones and stuff lol
I work in a phone shop and we don't get accessibility training. I have a couple of deaf customers and some blind customers now and I have to teach myself a lot of the stuff they need me to know. Videos like this are really helpful. Molly you're fantastic.
Rosie Cowan-Wilce I always learn please and thank you in any language, by asking. Weather it’s the Korean man at my local convenience store, or the Egyptian lady at the 7-Eleven. When you take the time to learn please and thank you in their native language, it always brings a smile to their face. Sign language was the first language I learned because I worked with the public and noticed a few deaf people every few months.
I was the same way Rosie until one day we had a blind lady get a iPhone but never used voice over before. I told her since she bought 3 classes that if she gave me 2 weeks to train myself that I was confident I could teach her. Well a couple months later she loved it so much she got an iPad and an iMac. I got a valuable learning experience with voice over! Plus if I ever go blind or very hard of hearing I already have a head start!
Welcome to the RU-vid channel of an awesome girl who is blind. Now, before you comment, read this. Apparently, sighted people unfamiliar with blindness are often so curious about what they see in her videos and so surprised by a normal girl being blind that they lose all kinds of manners and maturity. In almost all of her videos the comments are filled with newcomers saying they can't believe she's blind, is she really blind, is she lying, how blind is she, wait is she really blind because she does this or doesn't do this, why does she look at the camera, why are her eyes shaking? She has videos answering all of these questions - go to her channel! Watch them! Educate yourself. If you must post a comment on this video, please do so with some respect and manners. I think all of Molly's videos need this disclaimer posted at the top. I don't know why people come to her videos and post such naive and rude comments.
When u said "Siri turn on voice over" in the video, My Siri activated and did it on my phone! At first I thought u edited the video to show the screen of Siri, but realized it was my phone that had switched. It was freaky!
My cats managed to turn on Narrator (text to speech) on my windows computer years ago... in the middle of the night. Imagine suddenly hearing a mans voice in your house in the middle of the night when you thought you were alone. 😱.
@@alexisparisian7392 ive found a way to use my screen reader to draw. I have my computer programmed so when I press Ctrl and hover my pen over the screen, it reads aloud the color under the pen and I use that to know what I'm doing. It's difficult and takes a long time but it works.
Anand Kumar Mehta right!!! I was kind of thinking they should sponsor her if they haven’t yet!! It would def be something new that hasn’t been done before (that I’ve seen at least).
So I never comment on videos, but I was messing around with voice over and it just dawned on me that this feature would be so helpful for not just blindness but dyslexia or any one who just struggles with reading! I never knew it existed till finding molly and now that I know about it I can help my sister who is dyslexic learn to use it. I wanna thank you molly for educating me on this amazing apple feature and I think It will greatly help improve my sisters life in the future!
I have to say... I'm so sorry for how EXHAUSTING these comments are! So many comments saying rude and ignorant things. You've addressed all these issues time and time again in your videos, in a simple and interesting way. Yet people watch two minutes of your video and leave a big comment with reasons why you're not blind. COME ON PEOPLE. If someone wanted to go on RU-vid and PRETEND to be blind, THEY WOULD MAKE IT LOOK WAY MORE STEREOTYPICAL. They'd wear sunglasses. They'd go out of their way to emphasize not being able to see. They wouldn't go on camera and display a natural command of a phone, for fear of this exact thing: people accusing them of faking it. It's much harder to convince people you're blind when you pretty much don't do ANYTHING that is stereotypical "blind behaviour"... as you can see by all the ignorant comments. I'm just not understanding the logic here.
nibbleninjas I completely agree, also I don't know how people are ok with being so rude, telling someone they are lying about having a disability. Why would anyone do that, if you had doubts surely you would keep them to yourself. Not that I doubt Molly at all, I just can't believe that people would post that she's lying.
I love this comment! I sometimes cannot overcome the urge to go into “Snark mode” when I read stupid comments or when the exact same question gets posted 75000 times when either just watching the videos or doing a 30 second google search will give you the answer. There is just such a lack of common sense and overabundance of ignorance out there!
Hi Molly. I am blind and I use voice-over. I also use jaws on my laptop. I use the perkins brailer sometimes, but mostly my laptop. I really like your channel and I think you are very inspirational!!!
Kayla Ackerman hi. Jaws is a software for the Blind on computers so we can access laptops. We can also download something called voice-over on all laptops which we also use on our phones but most people use jaws like myself. Hope this reply is clear.
cookie wolrd why are you so confused?? Did you watch the video?? She's showing you exactly how it works... I'm confused about what you are confused about lol. It doesn't make sense. Use your brain and pay attention! 😐
If you close your eyes and focus you’ll understand the iPhone voice better. It’s amazing how technology helps people with disabilities to communicate and just be normal. Technology is amazing.
Hey I just want to say I love your videos and your personality. I am completely blind, and I love how you explain the way we do things. Keep up the good work.
This is why I am scared to tell anyone! Not stone blind, but my eyes are going. I still rely on vision, but if I tell people I am partially sighted they just think it's the same as being short-sighted. People literally telling me to do eye exercises and then I won't need glasses anymore. Like poor eyesight is a result of poor personal choices. Molly's videos are helping me get 'future proofed' as my eyes get worse. She's wonderful.
Thank you so much. My 6 year old daughter has Aniridia and a small cataract in one eye and so far, from what we can tell she actually sees pretty well for her condition, but many people with her condition lose their vision somewhere in their late teens, twenties or thirties. I'm just starting out on this journey to find out how to help her, because her first ophthalmologist was a joke and didn't bother to tell us what she has or that she could lose her vision, and it's all so overwhelming so videos like this are very helpful.
God bless your daughter🤍 I pray that both you and her can learn a lot from molly!! I have an aunt that’s losing her vision rapidly and I’ve been saving videos to help me best assist my aunt. Sending lots of love to you and your family from Long Island NY
Awesome that y’all have found Molly. I imagine someone like her can help others who will go through the same thing! Wishing your daughter mucho success in life and may all her dreams come true!
They speed it up to make it easy, surprisingly lol. sighted people read faster than they speak so it would take a long time to read everything if speaking was normal.
That's because the comments are sorted usually in a mixture of time, but also highest rating. Obviously the mean comments are disliked a bunch. If you go by newest first, you should be able to scroll down and see a lot of the bad ones more easily.
I know blind people who sit around depressed because they hate being blind. You seem so encouraging and i hope the blind people that sit around depressed come accross you because you are such a positive person. Your such a lovely girl.
If people are saying “shes not interested cause she's typing on the laptop!! And she's just using excuses" uhhhh no. People can actually learn and memories where the keys are, yes i am sighted but I remember where the keys are and so do a lot of other people it only takes a year, and she says she went to school for it too,.... Grow up
Yeah, the keyboard was meant to be used without looking at it, a lot of people who work a lot at the computer type really fast and they don't even look at the keys anymore
Lol I thought everyone knew that it was possible to type without looking, I know many people that are trained to type like that. I'm also training myself how to do it since I find that once you know how to it's much faster than having to look at the keyboard.
Angelic Devil especially if people are in like middle-high school. I get questions all the time of how I type so fast without looking at the letters. I always answer with, “we’ve been writing for 7 years. It’s simple.” Because well, it is once you get used to it, especially when I’ve been writing for so long that it’s easier to write faster without looking at all. P.S. just something I wanted to share. I can also put all my fingers on for example, a letter to spell like, lollipop, I can spell it and know where the letters are even though my fingers are all on different letters.
I’m sighted and I was taught how to touch type by grandmother (who worked in a typing pool with typewriters before she married my grandpa) and my mother who is a life long office worker and had typing classes as school. My primary school also taught us the basics of touch typing.
Angelic Devil right? My dad and I both work in fields where we use an architectural program called autoCAD. To use it most effectively you type in commands then make what you need with your mouse. I've gotten excellent at just typing quickly with my left hand alone within a few weeks, as did my dad. My dad using the program for about 15 years later developed a pain in his shoulder and he was forced to use the mouse with his left and type all the commands with his right and he was back to his usual speed within a few weeks. I don't know how people don't understand how one can type without looking, whether it's with one hand or both. We are intelligent beings, or at least I thought we all are 😂
OMG... I'm here by accident but I'm not mad at all. I just want to say few words to people who say "She is not blind". I've watched another few videos of her so I can tell: 1) How she looks at camera? She can see the light above the camera. 2) Why she needs her iPhone to be in color? She wasn't always blind so she can have her favourite one. And she is not alone in the world - even if she can't read by herself that the phone is pink someone can tell her. 3) How she know what's her case? Is that even a question? She is not alone in the world! Someone can told her for God sake! 4) This is the question for you - why do you think pretending being blind is cool? Pls... Just stop talking stupid shit. Love and greetings from Poland. 😙
That is a horrible thing to say. She really is blind her mom can tell her the color of her phone and everything. Why even watch this video if your gonna be a hater?
Voice over is awesome! I’m glad apple invented this tech. I’m glad I learned how to use it even though I’m not blind. I’ve done training class for a couple blind customers at my old job and it’s amazing. Plus if I ever go blind I already have a head start on using it.
The way you can just not look at the keyboard and just type stuff is like really fascinating 😊❤ You're a big inspiration to the whole RU-vid community 💙💛💙
Almost legally blind. Fortunately I am still able to see with contacts and glasses but losing my sight is very possible and has always terrified me. I love your videos & this is all so inspiring. Also extremely comforting. Keep doing you lil mama ! ❤
I'm in the exact same boat, I have macular degeneration and losing my sight entirely is a distinct possibility however at the moment my vision is fixed with glasses. Seeing someone like Mollie show us how she gets by with her reality (which could be our reality someday) is a comfort. There's no need to attack people unnecessarily .
@@MaybeeEvie it is when we're trying to focus on her voice and hear the phone voice. I personally hate music over videos when the person is talking, especially the repetitive beat of this one
I found your channel semi recently, and you’ve taught me so much about disabilities and you’ve shed light on my sighted outlook and appreciations. Love all your outlooks and just know i love your spirit. ♥️
you are so amazing, such an inspiration, i cried and i never do that at the casey vid, and i was feeling sorry for myself because i am going through a divorce. U made me realise, thank u soooooooooooooo much , God bless you u beautiful girl u xxxxxxxxx
Hi Molly, I came across your Channel through Casey's video in which he endorsed you. I am currently in a difficult situation (my girlfriend broke up after 12 years) and I am feeling depressed. You somehow inspired me to move on, to cope with that. Thank you! I like the way you make everything look easy. It is very inspiring.....
As a HH person, I appreciate that you CC all your content without thinking about it. Too few people understand the concept of being all-inclusive. Thanks for being so inspirational to everyone.
A blind man at my school had a really cool braille converter pad hooked up to his laptop. It looked like one of those arm rests but you could tell he was reading from it. Super cool
I'm not blind but watching your videos has definitely made me realise how grateful I am that I have my sight still and I will never take my sight for granted ever again. After watching this video I tried out voice over and found it very difficult but interesting to try out, thank you for showing us!
I seriously saw a braille note touch! I want one!!! Imagine a braille display with a tablet! Amazing! Also, I used to have a victor reader stream. Also, I own myself a computer running Jaws, and also my 40 cell braille display.
My doctors told me my vision should plateau and eventually disappear. One audiologist even told me I was going to lose my hearing. It's so great to see videos like this one now before I lose my eye sight. I am going to do the best I can learn Braille and lift style changes now before I can't! Thanks for these videos!! So much!!
What sighted people hear: ahgrvdbsnkowodihdhsbenfklsoidueshshdg What blind people hear: And now we’re going to go into the basics of biology (I used a random sentence)
Watching after Casey's video, talking from Brazil and I don't know why but I just want to thank you for being at youtube sharing such amazing experiences. You're fantastic!
Hi Molly, it's a Spanish girl writing you from Switzerland. I landed here from Mr. Kate's makeover and i find your channel very necessary for those who doesn't understand a thing about being blind. Thank you so much for that, and for giving us so much from you. Keep being so awesome!
I looked up this video because I have a friend I met online who is completely blind, and I was so curious as to how she manages to respond so flawlessly to my messages and even comment on my posts. Thanks a lot for making this video and showing us how you do it so well!
I’m sighted but I find when I’m reading online(fanfiction mostly) it’s simpler for me to download an ePub and use voice dream on my phone. I can let it be an audiobook or because obviously I’m sighted I can read it silently. I like the automatic tracking where it scrolls. I also use the center swipe down on my phone to read webpages in safari to me. (iPhone 11)
I'm a self-taught touch-typist and don't need to look when using a physical keyboard, but I find it extremely difficult to type on an iPhone screen without making mistakes even though I'm looking right at it, so the fact she can do so quickly and accurately as a blind person _is_ very impressive.
I was given the news about a year ago, that I would more than likely be blind within the next few years, and recently found out that I will eventually have glaucoma and It’s to the point they had to test me 3 times to make sure I didn’t have it. I’m already classified legally blind. As a speed skater, I’m still a little nervous for it, but you, tas, and a deaf blind skater named Kevin frost are going to be my rolemodels
Thanks for your vids, they help. I'm not sure if I'll go 100% blind, but my vision has been fading since I was little. I litterally need a stronger prescription every year. It's at the point were my eye doctor classified me as legally blind without my glasses. So it's comforting knowing if I end up blind in the future my life as I know it isn't over.
I have a friend that is going blind. She can still use glasses as of now, but she’s slowly getting there. We watched this together and made jokes about how she might finally be able to relate to more people. It was a happy thing for both of us, and I’m happy you made this video. :)
I’m not being rude or anything but the people that are saying “How can she see the camera” and “she’s not even blind” well first of all she has a light on top of her camera so she looks at it because she can see the light and second of all she is blind I think she said in one of their videos that I have seen that she said she went blind a 14 so all of y’all stop saying she’s not blind why would someone joke about being blind like y’all don’t know anything about being blind unless you are blind.Ya’ll are literally saying she’s not blind because “she looks at the camera” y’all can clearly tell she is not looking at the camera! So stop commenting that she is not blind because she is y’all don’t know that much about her personal information and if you watched most of her videos then y’all would know if she is blind or not which she is blind,So stop commenting that she’s not blind because she is looking directly at the camera.which she’s NOT.
This may be basic, but I had absolutly no idea that this was possible! I am so super :O what!? This is sooo cool!! :D thank you for this very informative video and putting up with people like me who are just... really unaware of how cool of a world we live in!
My sister is 45 and went blind about 6 months ago. I have been trying to figure out how to keep her connected to with technology and my daughter saw your video then told me that I need to watch. I’m glad she did because this video has given me hope. Thanks
laura Minnick IKR! When I turned on voiceover I couldn’t even get into my computer! It was when I was like 7 lol, but there was a way to turn it off without signing in 😂 can’t believe I fixed that at 7
Legit question. Why have an iPad and an iPhone? You said yourself that they are the exact same except for screen size, but you can't see the screen. So wouldn't a smaller device be better?
Ariane Louise I want asking why she uses Apple products. I was asking why she has an iPhone AND an iPad. The two devices are the same, just with different size screens. Since she can't see the screens, why not just use her phone?
You don’t have a Braille keyboard? Wow, I am suprised. I feel as if that would be the only thing I could use (if I could read Braille better than I can now)
Thanx to invisible I who guided me here! I am happy to say that not online people don’t care about how they look. I live somewhere where you see many blind people and seeing some of them you ask yourself where the hell did they get those terrible clothes and hair dresses from? In law people can say that I’m blind I only see 1.6% on one eye. I use the iPad and the iPhone, too. And at work I use Jaws and magic and a Braille-line (sorry if this isn’t the correct word, I’m from Germany and I have never learned that word.). You wanted some ideas for apps which are adjustable for blind people I can tell you some because I use some. Because I have a little rest of you I have apps which on that excessive her but I won’t named them.You find in the App Store “Accessible Minesweeper” I think you could know the origin of the game that was played in the 90s on computer now you can play it on the iPhone or iPadThere’s an App called “TapTapSee”. You take your phone and make a picture of what’s in front of you and then this app will tell you what you see. I tried this with my guy dog and is told me that there’s a silver labrador.You find cutter say, too. You use your camera on your phone and it tells you which color the thing the camera looks at Hese. But color say isn’t that good I must admit.I absolutely love the app voice time it tells you either every hour what time it is or every half hour. I think it’s also available in English. But you could also use anymore Moses or whatever you like. There’s also for square I think it’s enough with which you can share the place you are at the moment but I don’t know more about it because I never used it.Which app is quite useful is BlindSquare. It’s no real navigation app that you can say tell me what’s around me let’s say about 500 m and then it tells you maybe 9 o’clock restaurant McDonald’s so can be helpful. Another blunt person you told me that he uses this app combined with Google Maps and so he can navigate but I didn’t try that yet so I can’t tell you if it really works.I have problems with sleeping and I wanted to find out how much I sleep and I found the app sleep polls. Now it’s sleep. three and it is quiet accessible for blind person. This new version only tried one so I can’t say that it’s absolutely accessible.Barcoo is a Scanner for barcodes. When the camera recognize the product key is there is an only tell you which products you have fun also tells you where you can get it and how much it costs in shop X or Y. I’m sorry if I’ve made mistakes in writing, but I use the dictation function off my iPad and sometimes it seems as if it’s nearly deaf and writes what it wants. 😉As far as I know it should be possible to combine your iPhone or iPad with Brailleline. The brailleIine I have isn’t compatible with my iPhone or iPad but never mind. I learned writing without watching the keys grandma too. It’s normal and schools for blind and visually impaired children here so I have to learn how to ride without looking at the keyboard even if they can’t see the keyboard. So I can type quite fast.By the way I found on a shop case for my iPad which includes a keyboard. So I can’t use that keyboard but when I have to put my iPad on the table and clip the magnetic park to the keyboard and then they combine with each other via Bluetooth and I can start typing. Usually I am too lazy to look for my keyboard. So the people Who are you right to our command on RU-vid that’s the problem that they have to guess what I wanted to say sometimes. 😂
Glad there are blind people, who lost their sight, showing the sighted world what it’s all about. Now I’m blind, and I was born that way from Leibers disease of the rhetna. I don’t know what I’m missing, but you do. Yet you’re still going. Good for you! Keep up the good work.
