Tek Talk welcomes Julian Vargas, a Mobile Access Technology Specialist, to discuss the latest developments in the world of mobile devices from Apple’s recent hardware announcements and updates to IOS to recent significant improvements to Google’s TalkBack screen reader for Android devices, including new multi-finger gestures. He will also talk about some of his favorite apps and of course, answer participants’ questions. Julian will also briefly talk about his newly re-launched empowerment discussion group, that meets virtually for now, for people in the Los Angeles CA, and Cape Coral/FT Myers FL areas. Julian believes that mobile devices are fast becoming the personal computer of today. Empowering blind and low-vision users to better understand and harness the full potential afforded by both specialized and mainstream technologies to help us live fuller and richer lives is his passion. As a trainer he teaches people how to use many of today’s popular mobile solutions such as the iPhone, iPad, Android phones and the many powerful apps that are available to increase independence and productivity. Through consultation he helps people make informed choices that will best serve their individual and specific needs.
Bio Info Julian has presented at the Best in Tech Conference, the CCLVI/ACB National Convention, The Braille Institute in Los Angeles as well as several events hosted by the NFBCA San Fernando Valley Chapter. Thanks to AIRSLA (Audio Internet Reading Service of Los Angeles) he contributes to several Podcasts dedicated to the discussion of mobile and other Assistive Technology solutions. He also facilitates a discussion group called “Breaking Blindness Barriers” dedicated to the discussion and sharing of techniques and strategies for removing the pesky barriers that get in the way of having full and independent lives.
