Thank you for putting together the video! I am setting a new Mac for my mother who is slowing losing here eye sight. Very helpfull video for assisting her transition to the new Mac.
Thank u so much . I am a software developer. Earlier I worked on windows but now I am placed in a company and it has offered me a MacBook . So this vedio is a great help . Thanks once again dear
This is an excellent video! Thank you so much for the tour & the information! It’s amazing how many accessibility tools come built into our devices, and you just helped me discover so many new, very cool features! Keep up the great work! You’re awesome!
This was helpful! thank you. I have Achromatopsia (no function of cones in retina) which results is low vision, nystagmus, no color vision, and extreme light sensitivity. So these accommodations are so helpful.
Thanks for sharing this video. I am visually impaired and was considering an iMac. I found the features to be awful in comparison to a PC. It is frustrating to have to keep enabling Zoom. With a PC, once you open the Magnifier and select what works best, you're done. The magnification works across all apps, windows, websites, etc. I guess it's just my personal preference, but I don't want to keep hitting a control button or placing the pointer over text to enlarge it. I prefer for things to just be BIG - lol. I appreciate your video and wish you the absolute best!
This is my first time enjoying your RU-vid channel. Great content! Looking forward to hearing more from you! Your video was so informative. Thank you so much!
Hy Angela I am totally blind are use a personal computer windows but I’m but three days ago a MacBook Pro 13 inch excellent video continue make more videos like this
Great video. I'm visually impaired and wanting to buy a macbook air so have been looking at all the larger text options online. Nice to be able to see them all in one place. Thank you :)
Thank you for this video. I have owned and used Macs before but have been a Windows user since 2012 but I'm getting my first new Mac since 2012 very soon hopefully. I'm partially sighted.
windows had better magnification software built in when you zoom in you dont really see pixels, it can smooth/sharpen out everything and the fullscreen panning is a lot more fluid the best part is i can bind all the keys to my logitech gaming mouse zoom in, zoom out, invert colour
I’m thinking of purchasing the new MacBook Air M2. I am also visually impaired and I felt the 13 inch wouldn’t work so well without a huge external monitor, but it might with these shortcuts. Thanks!
Hi, thank you for the video. I am wondering if Mac has a feature that allows you to hover over a text and voiceover automatically reads what is under the mouse? This is a feature in NVDA and in Fusion (Fusion is the Jaws & Zoomtext combo from Freedom Scientific). I use a PC but am interested in switching to mac, as I love my other apple products. I am visually impaired, but my vision is decent. My only eye gets strained easily, so I like the hover feature.
What are your thoughts on using 13 inch MacBooks I want to buy a MacBook but I can not afford 16 inch MacBook, only MacBook air fits my budget right now
I am so surprised to see a visually impaired designer and also glad to know that. I am a windows laptop user and uses NVDA and Jaws and other lowvision assisting features on my lenovo laptop. I am willing to buy a MacBook though it is too expansive in our country but I will buy it by freelancing. Thank you for creating such helpful video of accessibility features on Macbok. Which Macbook do you have? M1 or the intel model?
Voiceover should be a feature on all Apple devices however, I am not familiar with the new one you mentioned. I would check their website if you want to make sure.
Thank you for your excellent tutorial. I ahve been using a Mac sicne 2010. Now I must replace my iMac. I am considering the mac mini. What is a good display for us visually impaired?
Hey! I am glad the video was helpful. I personally use two monitors connected to my Mac it gives me more screen space so I can have things larger but still organized. I did a video of my desk setup if you want to view that video it might be helpful. Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jpKTOOgyGv0.html
I would like all the system fonts size of all windows to be large print. Finder windows: the title of the window, the names of each thing listed, all of it. On the very old MacBook that I have right now, for each and every Finder window, I have to go into the view settings to change the font size but it only applies to that particular window, and the font size only goes up to 16, which is not big enough for me. When I have looked up on the Apple site how to make the font bigger on everything, it says make your screen resolution terrible which means you can't fit much on the screen. I cannot do that and be able to have all the different apps I need to have open at once on screen. But you showed something in the general display settings that said do you want to text bigger in open windows. But did that mean the same thing as decrease your screen resolution so less fits on the screen but it's bigger, or did that mean keep your same good screen resolution and it makes all the text in every window bigger?
Very helpful as I recently had a detached retina that left my right eye with a 20/400. I am a photo retoucher /editor and find it extremely hard to navigate the menus on my imac. It's not like adobe has a brail version of photoshop
