分享10个对老年人有用的应用程序: 1.Senior Phone (Android) This app is created to replace a standard screen on the Android-operated devices. Instead of multiple small icons of uncountable and unnecessary apps, a senior user will see large color-differentiated buttons with understandable icons and clear text, which lead to the essential functions of their phone. There is nothing superfluous, which is particularly good for a partially sighted person. Apart from handy “Call” and “Text” buttons, there is an option of sending a panic SMS with one click of an “SOS” button. It will also help you to identify your location if you got lost. There is a possibility of adding new modules, if necessary, such as calculator, music player and magnifier. 2.Magnifying Glass with Flashlight (Android and iPhone) This simple app will help with reading a small print, whether it is a restaurant menu or a prescription bottle. Apart from easy-to-navigate digital zoom it also provides additional lighting (turning a flash from your camera into a torch) to make the text even more readable. There are many digital magnifier apps out there; this one, however, is notable by combining magnifier with flashlight options. 3.Kindle (Android and iPad) Although many of us are familiar with Kindle the gadget, there is also a mobile app that turns tablets into convenient e-readers enhancing them with Kindle functionality. Seniors will appreciate the possibility of enlarging the text, adjusting the brightness of the screen, built-in dictionary, text-to-speech function, and easy access to large selection of new books. |
