Assistive Items


Closet Ceiling Light
Some of you were interested in the type of ceiling light we installed in our closet by the front door. We are in a bungalow so I’m not sure everyone has a closet like this without a light. Of course, this could be used anywhere.

It is rechargeable so we do have a charging cord that’s long enough to do the jobs when necessary…but it seldom needs recharging due to its minimal use

Apps

ReBokeh is a magnifier app currently only available for iOS on iPhone and iPad.  If is available in the App Store on your device. This is a much more useful app than the built in magnifier and works really well.  I use it almost daily.  It will be available soon for Android.


Seeing AI is a free app available for bothApple and Android devices.  You cn find it in the Apple App Store or the Google Play store for Android devices.  This app uses the camera and will read anything you focus on.  It is very handy for reading labels, baking directions, mail.  


There is a Merlin Video Magnifier available in the Brickstone library. An instruction manual is beside the machine and it is available for any resident to use.
