Chapter Reviews
Chapter 1. Getting Started,
offers initial set-up instructions, a
description of the device's basic functions, and how to set up connectivity
options for a user with visual impairments. The directions are very easy to
follow and understand. Each step is numbered and provides 'how-to'
instructions. The chapter includes a bulleted list of apps that are pre-installed
with an explanation of their use. For the seasoned user this chapter was a
good review, but for the novice it is essential.
Chapter 2. Getting Acquainted with VoiceOver and Zoom introduces
VoiceOver, Apple's screen reader, and Zoom, their magnifier. VoiceOver

opening, closing and switching between apps. There are practice exercises
using pre-installed apps such as Notes, Calendar and Contacts. Peppered
