I put on a steamy eye mask.

With the loss of vision, I wondered if I could do something entertaining.
-
The move to turn on Netflix and listen to audio only is impossible to turn on and then operate the remote control to get to playback.
- Wife: “There are some modern TVs that can play Netflix videos via voice input.”
-
Wife: “You should listen to the radio.”
- OK Google, play TBS radio.
- One shot success
-
It’s very easy to localize the room when the radio is playing.
-
I opened the refrigerator and really wanted to take out the konjac jelly, but I couldn’t find it, so I drank a paper carton of juice.
-
I can go to the bathroom, do my business, and come back with no problem.
- I knew I could do this because I’ve experimented with doing this before while wearing a VR headset.
-
I tried to find my iPhone and said “Hey Siri” and my MacBook responded.
- Wife: “That’s a MacBook.”
- I was looking for an iPhone, not realizing it was a MacBook.
- Wife: “Isn’t that by the bed?”
- Discovering the charging cable by the bed by tactile sensation and following it to find the iPhone
-
When I talk to my iPhone and say “Hey Siri,” both my MacBook and both respond.
- You can’t tell if the iPhone in your hand has responded unless you can see it.
- I did Siri activation with a long press of the home button.
- The home button is a physical button, so I can tell by touch, but I wonder what they’ll do when it’s gone.
-
Attempts to use Siri to post to Twitter or Facebook, but “I don’t know” or “I can’t help you.”
- Maybe you can set something up in advance.
- I can’t read the responses where I could post them.
-
Wife: “I thought you could have it read to you in the accessibility settings.”
- If you talk to Siri and say “accessibility” it responds with a click, but you can’t see it, so there’s no way to set it up.
- Subsequent Notes
- It is possible to use VoiceOver in Accessibility to have it read out loud on tap.
- Notifications can also be changed to read out loud settings.
- To set up a person with sudden vision loss alone, talk to Siri and say “VoiceOver ON”.
-
If you could post it on Twitter or Facebook, you wouldn’t notice any comments on it.
- Must be set to read out notifications
- Wife: “Isn’t there some sort of tweak or comment reading feature?”
- Support - Tweeps: I want to use the read-out feature on PC delivery
- I don’t understand the process of losing your sight and then starting tweaking so people can see you.
-
People are posting to Twitter/Slack via IFTTT from Google Home.
