assistive technology services

Over the years, I have helped many blind and visually impaired people with their technology, such as phones, macs, braille displays, Jaws, voiceover on IOS, IPadOS and MacOS. Many people have found my help useful when it comes to ngetting around their devices and becoming more independent through life.

I can help with:
Jaws
NVDA
Voiceover on MacOS, IOS, IPad OS and watchOS.
Android systems such as TalkBack on the google Pixel and CromeVox on the CromeBooks.
Braille in more than one braille code. Note, I do not know contracted braille in French and German Braille codes. I know English Grade 1 and 2. I also know UEB.
I am able to use braille displays, but only the Focus line as not proficient in humanware displays or other types. I have briefly used a braille sense in the past, but they have since changed.
I am able to help with those learning braille for the first time if you so wish. Since I have learned Braille since the age of 3.I was the first totally blind child born blind in 13 years on the Isle of Man. There was no support service for the blind, visually impaired or other impairments on Island. My grandmother championed f for the services, and won. I was learning braille alongside others who were meant to help me. School was very difficult, not just physically, but verbal, mentally and emotionally. I hd to carry at least 2kg on my back every day once I approached secondary school. This involved several homework folders, which because they were full of Braille papers, they were quite heavy. Braille is double the size of print. For example, 1 page of print is 2 pages of Braille therefore one can imagine that all my print work was doubled. My homework had to be given in 3 days before my sighted piers, due to its need to be transcribed in the earlier and later years, despite me gaining a brailleNote NPower32 by Humanware. I had an embosser at home which embossed my work into hard copy which I was made to bring into school, despite the fact that computers did have speech software. I was still not allowed to email them across as my classmates could. Technology was growing, yet my support team did not want to embrace this. There were plenty of developments in the screen reading software on the Apple line of computers, where they were able to be turned on via command f5. The standard key for voiceover to turn on. I have paved the way for the younger generation of totally blind people to embrace their technology in the education system and at home, however the Island has not recognised me for this and has not asked for my services in this area. I have a lot of free time. Should you wish to contact me for further information and to request my help globally for my services online, feel free to contact me on the following email address:
