About The Blind Life Vlog
Sam makes YouTube videos for people who are blind and visually impaired. His videos are varied and contain everything from advice and tips, to his personal experiences of navigating life with low vision. In addition, Sam reviews technology and accessibility products, such as GuideConnect and Dolphin SuperNova.
The video covers how easy GuideConnect is to use and covers loads of the GuideConnect features including:
Using GuideConnect on different devices and different ways to navigate.
"GuideConnect has a very large, easy to understand user interface "
How to access entertainment, including TV streaming, podcasts and books in accessible libraries. Plus, using the camera to capture photos and images of printed words, and reading the text with speech and magnification.
"GuideConnect makes [computers] easier to use and fully accessible"
He also covers the different ways to use GuideConnect and demonstrates how to use it on touchscreen devices, on a PC with a keyboard and mouse and with the Dolphin remote control.
In the demonstration of the remote control, Sam covers the accessible features on the remote control itself, how to navigate GuideConnect with the Dolphin remote control, zooming in and out to enlarge magnification on screen. He also shows how to use the inbuilt microphone in the remote to dictate an email.
"Great for people who don't have a computer or aren't tech savvy"
