An app to change all text to capitals? For visually impaired people

[TheBlueDragon]

Hi everyone.

I'm currently talking to someone online who struggles to see lower case text on their ipad. How easy would it be for someone to make an app that would change all text to capitals?

 

At the moment they have to copy and paste text into an app that reads it out, but on some posts they just can't keep up.

 

Any suggestions?

iPads have lots of "ease of access" options, including enlarging, magnifier, screen readers, high contrast etc...

Don't know if WordService would help?:

Alternatively, install an all caps font? Don't know how this could be set up on iPad etc:

On iPad go to > Settings > General > Accessibility > Larger Text.

Toggle Larger Accessibilty Sizes to On then slide the adjustment bar at the bottom to adjust text size.

Also I'm sure it's been proven that people with poorer eyesight can read lower case easier than upper due to recognition of shapes the words form.

Have you tried putting two fingers on screen and then spread them apart?
