Apple User Group Bulletin - June 16, 2018
......................................................................

June's featured vendor is a user group favorite: Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus. You
may have enjoyed his ability to translate technical jargon into usable and
entertaining guidance at one of his many User Group University appearances,
watched him present at Macworld, read one or more of his 80 computer books, or
simply enjoyed hearing him explain technical topics in ways that make sense
for The Houston Chronicle or The Mac Observer. His newest project is Working
Smarter for Mac Users, taking those years of experience and expertise and
creating a course, consulting sessions, and an eBook that clearly live up to
their name, helping users complete more work in less time.

Groups have had a positive response to accessibility as a meeting topic.
Apple’s Accessibility home page says that the true value of a technology is
not measured by how powerful it is, but by how much it empowers the user, and
every Apple product contains amazing and empowering accessibility features
right out of the box. From being able to take a perfect group selfie without
being able to see the screen, to VoiceOver, display accommodations, Live
Listen, closed captioning that displays far more than text, LED iPhone
notifications, Switch Control, customized gestures, AssistiveTouch, Guided
Access, typing feedback, text-to-speech, fitness algorithms for wheelchair
users, and more, there are features to make every user’s tasks easier.

Another great way to enjoy an accessibility presentation is to bring your
group to a Today at Apple Accessibility session showing the basics of using
the assistive technologies that are built into every Mac, iPad, iPhone, and
Apple Watch.
