Apple iOS Training Bundle


Freedom Scientific has released the Apple iOS Training Bundle, a 
new
training solution specifically designed to teach people with 
visual
impairments how to use VoiceOver(r) and the Apple(r) iOS on 
devices such
as the iPhone(r) and iPad(r).

This solution, provided in DAISY audio format, contains over 10 
hours of
high-quality one-on-one training on a 2-GB SD card along with a
PLEXTALK(r) portable DAISY book player.  Training includes 
setting up an
iPhone, using gestures and Siri(r), and important apps including
iTunes(r), iCloud(r), Safari(r), Calendar, and the App Store.

"This training will allow people to gain complete control over 
their iOS
devices," said Jonathan Mosen, the instructor featured in the 
audio
tutorials.  "The portable delivery system means customers can 
learn to
use the iPhone or iPad and VoiceOver even when they don't have 
access to
in-person training."

costs $599 and ships on a 2-GB SD card along with a PLEXTALK(r) 
portable

Frequently Asked Questions


Q: How much training is provided?


A: The training is about ten and a half hours in length.


Q: Why was the training produced using the DAISY format?


A: DAISY provides a very efficient and easy way for users to 
navigate
the audio training.  With over 10 hours of training, it is 
important that
users be able to quickly jump from one section to another as well 
as
place bookmarks to allow for easy return to specific sections.


Q: Will this training work for someone who is new to using the 
VoiceOver
on a touch screen device like an iPad(r) or iPhone(r)?


A: Yes! The training starts with the very basics of using a touch 
screen
iOS device and then progresses through topics that build on one 
another
to provide a solid foundation of skills needed for using an iOS 
device
as well as VoiceOver.  The goal is to take someone from a very 
beginner
level and progress them forward to a much higher skill set.


Q: Will this training be beneficial for someone who already knows 
the
fundamentals of VoiceOver and iOS?


A: Yes! While the training starts with the very basics, it also 
includes
many topics that would be considered to be at a more intermediate 
or
advanced level.  The great thing is that the user can easily skip 
over
sections they are already familiar with.
