Welcome one and all to another exciting Tech Connect! Our Assistive Technology Specialists have safely returned from California's 40th annual CSUN and we are going to hit the ground running with a full demo and review of Raz Mobility's Smart Vision 3! br br Smartphones are suppose to make our lives easier, but for many with low vision or blindness it can be difficult to navigate around the pitfalls of an ordinary modern smartphone. Although we do cover useful tips and tricks pretty often, today we are focusing on a smartphone specifically designed with assistive technology in mind! br br Meet the Smart Vision 3! An Android powered smartphone equipped with several methods of control including: a touch screen, tactile buttons, and both TalkBack and Google Gemini features. Our AT specialists will demo each of these options so you can control your phone your way! br br We will be covering all the basics like making a call or sending texts, as well as briefly going over some important preloaded apps. However, because Smart Vision 3 is running Android that also gives us access to the Google Play Store for additional apps. Cory and Luke have many suggestions but its important to keep in mind that not all of the apps you can download from the Play Store will be fully accessible.br br 0:00 Startbr 1:00 Introducing the Smart Vision 3, Hardware Overview, Button Controls, Jacks and Audiobr 3:55 Moving through menus, Demo of General Phone Calls, Contacts and Voicemail, br 9:10 Using your Google Voice Assistant Gemini, Sending and Reading Text Messages,br 12:15 Preloaded Apps, Full access to potentially non-accessible apps from the Play Store br 14:15 Google Lookout Demonstration, Navigating through menus and modesbr 16:05 Specifications compared to Blindshell Classic 2, iPhone 16 ProMax, T-Mobile Supportbr 19:50 BFG Goof, Snozzberries, etc br 20:50 Wrap Up Review, Thoughts on Raz Mobility generally, br 22:30 Related Videos, Livestream 11am CST, LMS with Webinars for on demand ACVREP Credits! br br Contact Vision Forward Association: br Call us: (414-615-0103) br Email us: infocus@vision-forward.org br Visit us online: br Online Store: br If you have any additional questions about the Smart Vision 3, or Android more generally, please add those down in the comment section and we will endeavor to help!br br Checkout another Accessible Smartphone, the Blindshell!br br br Vision Forward's Tech Connect continues to bring you the information you need to make the most out of your devices.
