[Vice Director Yoshida] Low vision 2

This time we will introduce you to the iPad.

As you know, the iPad is a tablet-type device sold by Apple.This is a useful tool for people with poor eyesight to make it easier to see.

1. Camera 
For example, take a photo of something far away.By magnifying the image and adjusting the color, brightness, and contrast, you can see things far away.It's convenient because you can save videos and enlarge them.If you get permission from the school, you can take pictures of the blackboard, record videos, etc., and check them later.

2. Magnifying glass
You can zoom in on what you want to see.You can change the conditions to make it easier to see.The light also lights up, so you can brighten up even dimly lit places.You can change the color tone considerably more with a magnifying glass than with a camera.

3. Zoom
You can try enlarging the screen.

4.Siri
You can control it by talking to it.You can ask about the weather, set an alarm, or make a call.It will perform the necessary operations on your behalf.You can also have a conversation.
 
5. Black and white inversion
You can flip the screen black and white.Photos can also be reversed to make them easier to see.
White text on a black background is easier to read than black text on a white background.

6.Voice Over
This is a function that reads the screen.You can also adjust the speed.
Patients said that iPads are discreet and easy to use because they are commonly used.
I think it's convenient because it's not a special device and it's portable.Your family can explain how to use it, and I think they can also teach you how to use it if you make a reservation at an Apple Store, docomo, au, softbank, etc.If you are interested, please contact us.
