Hi Kerryann,
John, who is on this list, has a terrific site, mac for the blind,
which has entire sections of guides by device and usage, including
some for the Ipad.
Depending on your setup and IOS, you may find many treasures there.

Hi KerryAnn,
If you are thinking your iPad will replace your Mac, I assume you???re thinking
you???ll use it with an external keyboard? Here is a link to some info about
that:

<https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/use-voiceover-with-an-apple-external-keyboard-ipad9a246749/ipados>
Keep in mind, though, that there???s a fair amount of variation among different
keyboards, so commands and options may vary, depending on your keyboard. If
you are a braille user, I highly recommend the Mantis from APH as a good qwerty
keyboard/display combo. If you prefer Perkins style input, here is an AppleVis
link discussing that:

<https://www.applevis.com/guides/using-braille-display-ios-introduction>
I also think that Kliph, who is on this list, has some resources for that, so
hopefully he can respond to your question, too. If none of this information is
what you???re looking for, you might give us more details about what you are
having trouble with.
FWIW, I have both an iPad and a MacBook Air. I love my iPad, and I use it a
lot. But I find the Mac to be far more efficient. I can generally get things
done more quickly and easily on the Mac. Personally, and of course this is
subjective, if I had to choose one or the other, I???d choose the Mac.
Good luck,
Donna
