Accessible Apps: Recorder
Photo of how the Recorder app looks on the iPhone screen. iPhone is oriented vertically and the app shows a directory of stored recordings, with a large red "Record" button below for new recordings.
Here's yet another smartphone application that has potential to serve
as an "accessible app" - an app that in some way helps smartphone users
with disabilities either:
1) access their smartphone devices more effectively, or
2) helps them use their smartphones as a tool to more effectively participate in their social and economic environments
The Recorder iPhone app simply takes advantage of the built in microphone and memory storage in the iPhone to let users record notes, lists, directions and even phonecalls. Of course, ideally users would have some hearing and seeing ability. So, the Recorder app could be particularly useful to those who experience difficulty remembering things.
Check out the two videos on how to the Recorder app in general, and how to use the phonecall-recording feature:
